Dementeleus Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 (edited) (This SOTM has the Baumer Seal of Approval™) For the following films, here are some target numbers: Transformers: Age of Extinction - $165m Dawn of the Planet of the Apes - $120m Hercules - $80m Think Like a Man Too - $55m Into the Storm - $45m Which film will reach its target first? For example, you would choose Into the Storm if you think it will reach $45m before any of the others reaches their target. In the event of a tie, any correct answer will gain points — so for example, if Hercules and Think Like a Man Too are the fastest and both reach their targets in 7 days, anyone who chose those two films will receive points. 10,000 if right. -12,000 if wrong. 2,000 if you abstain. Failure to answer results in -15,000. BONUS: List the order in which they will pass their respective targets. You must list all 5 in the correct order. Miss any one of them and you lose. If you think a film will not reach its target, mention that as well (and obviously put it at the bottom of your list). An additional 15,000 if you're right, an additional -18,000 if you are wrong. You can earn up to 25,000 points, or lose up to 30,000 points, depending on your choices. The deadline is Thursday, June 19, 11:59pm (midnight) - Pacific Daylight Time.

Dementeleus Posted June 5, 2014 Author Posted June 5, 2014 I should note that I wanted to be a hardass and not allow abstaining, but baumer was the nice guy. 1 Quote

MovieMan89 Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 This one is deceptively tough crunching the number possibilities. I'm thinking TLAM2 has the best chance to reach that target first, but will have to chew on it some more... 1 Quote
