Am I missing something? How do you gain points before the game starts?

 

You buy baumer's book, and you find the "secret" 10,000 points. (Hidden in plain sight... not that hard to find if you read his instructions carefully.)

Finally done

Other predictions from around the net:

[Mulder]

Now I hope TASM2 isn't number one. 

[baumer]

Made more changes.  This is so confusing this year.

Made more changes. This is so confusing this year.

Yeah - between Godzilla and TASM am fluctuating right now and some others - might have to rework my entire top 15

[grey ghost]

I tend to believe the first answer is the right answer.and I'm lazy.

[#ED]

Someone explain to me how Telemachos is winning?

 

Also, I sent the PM!

[baumer]

Yea, and I haven't updated your score yet.  Chillax dude.  

 

He's winning because he sent the email and bought my book last year.  Both worth 10K.  He should have 30K in total because he bought two of my books.  But I won't give him the extra 10K because I know guys like you and Stingray would lose their shit.

Question about 19.8 - What will be the fourth highest grossing film of May?

 

I assume this means, what film (with a May release date) will have the fourth-largest gross, right?
