Is it alright if I put a backup that I think will open below 40M for the multiplier section? I only have 5 before January 24th that I think can do a 40M+ OW
Edit: Answered my own question. Guess I’ll lose 10K if my backup comes into play
Hey mate. Slight misread there.
to be included on the multiplier chart it’s:
must open in 1500 or more and on or before Jan 24. The film must also make in total (For the game) more than 40m (not just the weekend)
