Now for the "i've decided that Chasmmi is banned from making any more SOTM questions" this question is just pure evil and when you see the scores you will see why! WHY Chasmmi WHY! SOTM 14: The final question of the winter... well questions and then there is also the week 19 quest... damn it! It's a cool title I'm sticking with it. - Answers As this is the final SOTM of the winter, I must endeavour to include as much mindfuckery as possible Here are 5 simple questions: 1. What will Deadpool gross on Valentines Day? 42.591m 2. What will The Witch's OW be? 8.800m 3. What will Zoolander's total be by the end of the game? 23.673m 4. What will Kung Fu Panda's Worldwide total be by the end of the game? 294.179m 5. What will Risen make Opening Day? 4.018m All you need to do is predict a value for each question. Simples... Wait that's no good I promised Mindfuckery and thus Mindfuckery I must deliver!!! But how? Yes of course an insanely, over elaborate hateful scoring system! There are 28 players who have contributed answers/predictions in some form during this game and thus it is possible for a players prediction to place anywhere from closest, to 28th closest. For each question you will score the following points based on how close to the actual total you finished: 1st - 1000 points (That is not a typo ) 2nd - 0 points 3rd - minus 1000 points 4th - minus 2000 points 5th - minus 3000 points 6th - minus 4000 points 7th - minus 6000 points 8th - minus 8000 points 9th - minus 10000 points 10th - minus 10000 points 11th - minus 12000 points 12th - minus 12000 points 13th - minus 15000 points 14th - minus 15000 points 15th - minus 15000 points 16th - minus 18000 points 17th - minus 18000 points 18th - minus 18000 points 19th - minus 18000 points 20th - minus 18000 points 21st - minus 20000 points 22nd - minus 20000 points 23rd - minus 20000 points 24th - minus 20000 points 25th - minus 20000 points 26th - minus 20000 points 27th - minus 20000 points 28th - minus 20000 points (If two people predict the exact same value, the winner will be decided based on who predicted earlier. If any players do not post a prediction they will all gather at the bottom end of the points table for every question.) ABSTAIN, ABSTAIN, ABSTAIN!!! I hear you all cry and I would never take away one's right to abstain. In fact you may choose to abstain from as few or as many questions as you wish, all for the low low price of minus 5000 points (So for the mathemagicians amongst you that means to abstain from all 5 questions will score you minus 25000 points ) Oh and one more little extra thing to sweeten the deal, anybody who ends the SOTM with a positive score, will receive a 50000 point bonus. Enjoy, deadline is Thursday at 11:59pm Scores - Includes your final ranking. If your ranking for a question is blank you put in Abstain and got -5k for that question. As noted, if you did not answer, you will -81k for this question.

Hard at work here.. my math skills are second to none......

I think the safe path was better than average

The same wrap article mentions that too. Risen = 20m budget race = 5m budget the witch = 1m budget. From the wrap article. I'm using these budgets unless BOM posts something different (risen is confirmed by BOM already. )

The spreadsheets are all prepped and ready to plug the actuals in ....... Q how long do we wait on actuals for overseas?

that is a complete change of strategy of the game... i welcome the thought though, and it is an option on the way to go. but then u run the risk of as u note of 1 persons potentially stealing the show... It's a thought of consideration for next years game. i'll keep it in mind when we start looking at 2017. I think this is too much of a material change to bring into the 2016 game year at this point. in saying all that, i should note that the game ran very successfully for over 6 years with pretty much the current rules (as they stand now) and this idea while proposed previously was never tried but considered back in 2006 and it was ultimately decided to go down the path of the current setup. (though back then we had a hard an fast rule of 200% only for all films. but everyone also started with only 50m back then too... (maybe that is part of the issue , we started with too much money to begin with ?)

All valid points. Ok for now keep the rule as is and see how it plays out over the year. @CJohn - this isn't your first year and frankly a breakout doesn't give you the win though i can't remember a breakout like this so early in the game. You should know that it's possible catch it up... and also i should point out... BVS is 200m budget.. investing 200m in a single film this early is dangerous.. it could pay off yes, but some on here and yet to be convinced it can make the 400m+some are predicting... if wrath and lucasbenica are smart yes they can position themselves to get there but a lot of time and money to be spent between now and the end of the year... it's now a challenge to catch them! There will be other smaller hits around this time... and for all we know divergent could break out or zootopia blows up bigger than expected etc etc... there will be other surprise hits and flops... it's the point of the game... I'll keepthis rule in the back of my mind for a future year maybe... it's trying to even the whole problem of first in best dressed ... but then it's alsothe great even upper if someone who has lots of money can't be there to invest in a film to......

Pretty sure thats it guys... so its lock time... for the final time in the game!!!!!!

Hi guys, i have an idea to get around the whole first in best dressed for investments. I believe this will also help people who are disillusioned to continue to play. obviously those that make more money will still have advantages, but now at least everyone gets a chance to invest in every film by this way.... Just tagging everyone so that they see this post @BourneFan #1 @chasmmi @CJohn @DAJK @Ethan Hunt @Exxdee @grey ghost @Jayhawk @lucasbenica @megaboxoffice @Simionski @ThatOneGuy @The Panda @Wrath @WrathOfHan The highlighted red section is the new rule:- I'm open to tweaks to the rule assuming we use it going forward... for example change the 6 hours to 1 hour ? Investment Rules The "minimum" max total % available for films is 200%. ie. All films will have a start with 200%. Players can choose to only invest in part or all of a films budget. Players can invest in 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 100% of the budget. I will also allow investments of 25% and 75%. The first "6 hours" or I'm calling it the "Movie Investment Super Window" after a film becomes available the following will apply :- All investments will be accepted assuming you have the money and your not under Investement Restriction rules. At the end of 6 hours the final % is given will be calculated based upon the "total interest" / % invested in the film. If a film =< 300% every investor will receive the % of investment they put down. If the total % invested <=200% then the max total % for that movie will be 200% If the total % invested <=300% then the max total % for that movie will be 300% If a film total % is > 300% but less than 500% (ie. total % of everyone investements) then Your new investment % in the film will be = (%invested / Total% Invested ) * 300 If a film total % >= 500% then Your new investment % in the film will be = (%invested / Total% Invested ) * 500 (i rarely expect this to happen) After 6 hours has passed, normal investment rules apply and max total % will be applied (obviously part of the film will remain if it's under 300% and if the film does get more than 200% investments only 200% will be available - max) Players will receive the % of the earnings from the film based upon which % invested in the film. Eg. invested 20%, you will receive 20% of the earnings. You cannot invest in the same film for than a total of more than 100%. (If you invest 100% of the film’s budget, you can not invest in the film a second time.) A film is released irrelevant of how much % is invested in total even if only 20% was invested, the film is still released. If you have chosen to invest and decide to cancel ALL or part of your investment (keeping within the normal rules above), the following WILL apply: > 2 Weeks prior to release - 100% of the cancelled amount is returned > 1 Week prior to release - 50% of the cancelled amount is returned < 1 Week prior to release - Nothing will be returned at this point so you should just keep your investment. You can also choose to sell all or part of your investment (following the same rules as above for investments) Once the movie is released you cannot sell your investment The Sale can be in the form of money or swapping for other investments. The amount is up to you - there are no limits and only need to be agreed between all parties involved. Sales involving money will count towards your earnings for the year. If at time of release an on-sold investment has a budget change, then this change will be reflected in the current owners budget. eg. Investor B bought the movie investment worth 40m of investor A for 60m. The budget then increased to 50m. Investor B's final budget equals 70m as a result because investor B paid a premium of 20m to investor A for the investment Investment Restrictions (applies as you invest more %) This rule will have a bigger impact under the new rule also cause once you are restricted, you would be able invest during the movie investment super window. Your ability to invest is restricted as you invest more in movies over the year. There are 2 different levels of restrictions. Each level is associated with a % of investments. Investment Restrictions apply to both Selling/Purchasing and Investing. The following lists the 2 levels (3 including the unrestricted level). Unrestricted - as per normal rules Level 1 Restrictions (> 1500%) - Cannot invest in any film until 3 weeks prior to release. Level 2 Restrictions (> 3000%) - Cannot invest in any film until 1 week prior to release. I'm proposing to use this rule going forward immediately if there are no major disagreements. I know it's a game change but it's always been bug bear of mine. Key point is - i intend to use this for BVS as the first trial.

not likely to go higher ... there is a yawning gap between 6th and 7th of over 100k........ and i've seen your top 15............ (your just lucky Deadpool has overperformed so much )

Out of interest so far the leaders on each chart are: Weeklys :- Exxdee .. who over 40k ahead meaning he will finish on top of the weekly charts no matter what happens in the last week. SOTM :- darkelf also leads this easily, but i'm pretty sure there are some big points left in those last 3 SOTM's so nothing is certain though he is in the box seat for this chart Pre-Season (so far - Questions only + the Star Wars OS Chart) = Wrath leads here but only by a small amount especially in the context of the amount of points yet to be handed out. It's interesting that the current Pre-season leader is already our overall leader showing the clear leaning of the game towards those pre-season questions as it should be.... it's kinda proof that middling SOTM's and weeklys give u a chance if your pre-season is awesome!

fixed now.. it wasn't what you thought it was ....... the bonus was added ... id had a different issue... which is all fixed now and u got your 4k......

nope .. fixed the error... however nearly everyones score had an error (all fixed now thanks for picking it up - sadly chas got +5k out of the fix :D)

i'm wondering if 40m is possible at this point..... ? 30m looks like a given. Most films that open at this level in australia usually go on to make 40m+ then again most films that open at this level open during school holidays or around a public holiday.... hmmmmm No idea where the 2nd weekend might land either... it could end up @ 7m or 10m the way this thing is going ? Thursday won't be much of an indicator either due to school / uni being in at the moment.

No worries.. it will be updated normally after the opening...
