SOTM #1: Which film will Gravity outgross?No abstaining. 

 

What is the deduction if one does not predict? -20k?

 

And its right to believe that this is one of those questions where you do not need to fall within a certain window right?

 

Eg: Predicting Wreck it Raplh is essentially a free 1000 points at this point barring something crazy happening.

This would have been more interesting if we had to answer it by last Friday or something.  Though I'm sure a lot of people would have missed out on lots of potential points

If I don't get an answer, 5,000 points will be deducted. And yes, it's basically a free 1,000 points.

Ehh, I know. I waited too long on this SOTM. But I still think it will be a bit of a challenge to predict its final gross at this point.

 

Does anyone think I should push up the deadline to make it a little more interesting? Say, Monday, Oct. 21st?
