PLEASE READ THIS ONE CAREFULLY AND UNDERSTAND IT FULLY. IF YOU DO NOT, THEN ASK ME. ONCE THE GAME STARTS, CLAIMING YOU DIDN'T READ IT RIGHT WILL NOT BE AN EXCUSE.THE BOTTOM LINE IS IF YOU GO FOR ALL FOUR QUESTIONS, YOU ABSOLUTELY MUST GET ALL FOUR RIGHT IN ORDER TO GET POINTS.Remember, you don't have to answer any of them. Or you can answer as little as you want.

Again, you have choices.Answer any part of the question. Each answer you get correct you will receive 7000 points. Each answer you get wrong, you will lose 7000 points. If you go for all four parts of the question, you must get all four parts correct. If you get even one wrong after going for it all, you will lose 7,000 points. You can go for all of it, none of it and some of it. Choice is yours.17)A) Will any film listed as a horror OR thriller film by boxofficemojo.com gross more than 70 million dollars this summer? NOB. Will any film listed as a horror OR thriller film by boxofficemojo.com open to more than 30 mill? NOC) Will any film listed as a horror OR thriller film by boxofficemojo.com have a second weekend drop of less than 47%? ABSTAIND) Will any film listed as a horror OR thriller film by boxofficemojo.com have an opening day of more than 15 mill? NOGet any question right: 7000Get any question wrong: -7000Abstain from all four questions: 5000Go for all four, and get all four correct not only will you get the 28,000, you get a bonus of 28,000. But you must go for all four to qualify for the bonus If you go for all four, you must get all four correct. An incorrect result on even one question will result in a loss of 25,000 points! NEW QUESTION: QUESTION 18: What will the highest grossing comedy be in each of the first three months of the summer? So for the months of May, June and July, tell me the highest comedy to come out of each month. Obviously, each film has until the end of the summer to make its money. May: Neighbors 181m June: 22 Jump Street 155.5m July: Tammy 119m 4th abstain Scoring: For each month you call correctly, you get 15,000 points. For each film you call incorrectly, you lose 5000 points. For a bonus, tell me the next highest grossing comedy to come out of May, June and July. So, how it works is as follows. Each month will have one comedy that will be the highest grossing. Those three films will rank 1-2 and 3. Then you pick the next highest grossing film out of the three months (only pick one film). Now obviously, the next highest grossing film could be bigger than some of the films in gross, but kind of like seeding in some professional sports, it will still be the fourth highest ranked film because it came in second in that particular month. If you can call the fourth highest film correctly, you get a bonus of 25,000. If however you go for the fourth film, you must get this film right, if you do not, you do not qualify for the points you earned on parts 1,2 and 3 and you will lose 15,000 total. Question 19 New addition to the game this year: Here are ten twenty additional questions. For every question you get right, 5000 points. For every question you get wrong, -2000 points. These are mandatory questions. There is no abstaining. Anyone who does not answer these twenty questions, loses 40,000 points. 1) How many films will gross at least 100 million dollars this summer? (you have a cushion of 2 films. So if you are wrong by two films, you still get full points) 14 2) How many films will gross at least 650 mill WW this summer?

Question 20: This is the final preseason question. I promise. For these questions there is no abstaining, unless you choose to not answer any of them, in which you will receive 5000 points. But that is your only option for abstaining, you must abstain from all of them. Each question is worth 3000 if you answer correctly and -2000 if answered incorrectly. You must answer them all. Comedy battle of the summer: There are 7 high profile comedies coming out this summer. They are: Neighbors Blended 22 Jump Street Think Like a Man Too A Million Ways to Die in the West Tammy Sex Tape Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is as follows: 1) Which comedy will open the highest? 22 Jump Street 2) Will any two comedies combine to open with more than 60 million?

You can go for as many as you like.Here is the catch: Every answer you call incorrectly you lose 10,000 points.There are no points for abstaining, with one caveat down below. ***Even more bonus and more treachery:If you go 4/4 you get a 28,000 point bonus. So this means you will get a total of 56,000 points for this question (7000X4 plus 28,000 point bonus)However, if you go for all 4 you must get all four correct. If you get even one incorrect, you will lose 15,000 points. So what this means is, if you go for all four and even if you get 3/4 correct, not only will you NOT get the 11,000 but you will lose a full 15,000 points.This question is worth a lot of points for those ballsy enough to go for all 4, but it will kick your ass if you get too cocky. PLEASE READ THIS ONE CAREFULLY AND UNDERSTAND IT FULLY. IF YOU DO NOT, THEN ASK ME. ONCE THE GAME STARTS, CLAIMING YOU DIDN'T READ IT RIGHT WILL NOT BE AN EXCUSE.THE BOTTOM LINE IS IF YOU GO FOR ALL FOUR QUESTIONS, YOU ABSOLUTELY MUST GET ALL FOUR RIGHT IN ORDER TO GET POINTS.Remember, you don't have to answer any of them. Or you can answer as little as you want. It's totally up to you.You can choose to go for as many or as little as you want.***CAVEAT***If you choose to abstain from all 4, you will get 5000 for doing so. You must tell me if you are abstaining.1) Yes, $275mNEW QUESTION:This is a four part question. Again, you have choices.Answer any part of the question. Each answer you get correct you will receive 7000 points. Each answer you get wrong, you will lose 7000 points. If you go for all four parts of the question, you must get all four parts correct. If you get even one wrong after going for it all, you will lose 7,000 points. You can go for all of it, none of it and some of it. Choice is yours.17)A) Will any film listed as a horror OR thriller film by boxofficemojo.com gross more than 70 million dollars this summer?B. Will any film listed as a horror OR thriller film by boxofficemojo.com open to more than 30 mill?C) Will any film listed as a horror OR thriller film by boxofficemojo.com have a second weekend drop of less than 47%?D) Will any film listed as a horror OR thriller film by boxofficemojo.com have an opening day of more than 15 mill?Get any question right: 7000Get any question wrong: -7000Abstain from all four questions: 5000Go for all four, and get all four correct not only will you get the 28,000, you get a bonus of 28,000. But you must go for all four to qualify for the bonusIf you go for all four, you must get all four correct. An incorrect result on even one question will result in a loss of 25,000 points!AbstainNEW QUESTION: QUESTION 18:What will the highest grossing comedy be in each of the first three months of the summer? So for the months of May, June and July, tell me the highest comedy to come out of each month. Obviously, each film has until the end of the summer to make its money.Scoring:For each month you call correctly, you get 15,000 points. For each film you call incorrectly, you lose 5000 points.For a bonus, tell me the next highest grossing comedy to come out of May, June and July. So, how it works is as follows. Each month will have one comedy that will be the highest grossing. Those three films will rank 1-2 and 3. Then you pick the next highest grossing film out of the three months (only pick one film). Now obviously, the next highest grossing film could be bigger than some of the films in gross, but kind of like seeding in some professional sports, it will still be the fourth highest ranked film because it came in second in that particular month.If you can call the fourth highest film correctly, you get a bonus of 25,000. If however you go for the fourth film, you must get this film right, if you do not, you do not qualify for the points you earned on parts 1,2 and 3 and you will lose 15,000 total. For optics sake, here's what your answer might look like:May: Mom's Night Out: 125 millJune: 22 Jump Street: 150 millJuly: And So It Goes: 95 millThen you would choose the highest grossing comedy out of all the months. So lets say Neighbors was the highest grossing comedy remaining, and it grossed 122 mill, you would pick that as your fourth. If all four films are correct, you win the points. This question could be a very big windfall for you. It is potentially worth 70,000 points. But remember, greed could also do you in. This is a tough question imo. There are, imo, at least three comedies that could be the biggest of the summer. So tread carefully. And good luck!If this is not clear, please let me know. May: NeighboursJune: 22 Jump StreetJuly: TammyQuestion 19New addition to the game this year:Here are ten twenty additional questions. For every question you get right, 5000 points. For every question you get wrong, -2000 points. These are mandatory questions. There is no abstaining. Anyone who does not answer these twenty questions, loses 40,000 points.1) How many films will gross at least 100 million dollars this summer? (you have a cushion of 2 films.
