  1. But what about abstaining from some of the questions? Do you get points for abstaining from one question, instead of abstaining from all 5? So if you miss one when answering all 5, and you miss one, you forfeit the 32k points that you won, and lose 20k points? What if you answer all 5, and miss two or three?
  2. Btw Baumer, your point system doesn't make sense. This is a five part SOTM. By now you know the drill. You can go for one, several, all or none. 1) Will TDKR make more than 30 mill at midnight? 2) Will TDKR make more than 74 mill OD? 3) Will TDKR make more than 81 mill OD? 4) Will TDKR make more than DH2 OW? 5) Will TDKR make more than 190.5 mill OW? Each part you go for is worth 8000 if correct. Each part you go for and guess incorrectly will cost you 5000 points. If you choose to abstain from all five questions, you will receive 8000 points. If you choose to answer all five questions, you must be correct on all five questions. There is no bonus for getting all five correct as you get 40,000, which is the biggest SOTM amount ever given out. However if you get even one wrong, you will lose 20,000 points. The only way you can lose more is if you go for all five and answer all five incorrectly, that would cost you 25,000 points. ^So,we can go for one, several, all or none. I get that. +8k points for each question correct. makes sense. -5k points for each question incorrect. makes sense. +8k points for abstaining all 5 questions. makes no sense. You said we can answer one, several, or all. So what if a person decides to answer 3 of them, and abstain from 2 of them? Will that person get points for the 2 questions that he/she choose to abstain from? +40k points for answering all 5 correct. makes sense (8k x 5=40k). -20k points for getting one wrong. makes no sense. If we get one wrong, we lose -5k, why would we lose -20k for getting one wrong? Is because we're going for all 5, and if we miss one, we lose -20k? That's kind of unfair, isn't it? So a person can answer 4 out of 5, and abstain from one of them (get points?), and from those 4, he/she gets 3 right, which is 24k points, and since he/she missed one, that's minus -5k, so that player gets 19k points (unless it's more from abstaining from one of them? But if a person goes for 5 out of 5, and gets 4 right, which is 32k points, but since that player misses one, he/she gets only 12k points? What if you answer 5 out of 5, and get 3 right, which is 24k points, but since you miss 2 of them, that's -40k points, so you lose -16k points? Somethings not right with the point system, and I think you should reconsider it, or explain it a bit more clearly.

  6. Safe to say that I won this? 12. darthdevidem01 vs InFamous Prometheus OVER Star Trek (worldwide) darth on Prometheus , InFamous on ST stakes: signature and avatar for a month Prometheus is at $294,400,000 Star Trek is at $385,680,446 Does Prometheus really have a chance of grossing another $90m? I doubt it.
  7. I know, I meant more like Wall-E numbers at the minimum, and it's probably gonna finish around $240m.
  8. True.Hopefully we see holds better then TF1. But if it drops harder then TF1 on it's 3rd weekend (TDRK release), then $300m will be out of the question, unfortunately. :/
  9. Oh.I see it finishing slightly under, around $285ish. But I predicted around $307m for it's Total. I think if it has a great hold next week, the true test will be when TDKR is released.
  10. Damn, that just sucks. :/Hopefully it grosses over well over $8m today, but we'll see.
  11. With half the players losing 5,000 points, and me gaining 15,000; I'm liking my odds, more and more. Edit: btw, shouldn't me and Dav have 20,000 points? Cause 10k for getting it right, and an extra 10k for being within $5m? "FOR AN ADDITIONAL 10,000 Tell me, within 5 million dollars, what its gross will be."?
  12. DAMN IT!!!I thought I definitely got Bonus #2, but after looking at the numbers, only 2 people predicted better then me...#3: Infamous: $79,000 difference!#2: Iceroll: $13,000 difference!!#1: Dav: $6,000 difference!!!^Damn, you two were insane.Only one person gets the Bonus though, right?
