chasmmi Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 A simple task for this week. Predict the weekend gross for any film this weekend that grosses above 5M for the 3 day. If your prediction is correct to within 5% you score 5000 points If your prediction is correct to within 10% you score 2000 points If your prediction is correct to within 15% you score 0 points If your prediction is within 15.01-20% you lose 3000 points If your prediction is within 20.01-30% you lose 6000 points If your prediction is more than 30% out, you lose 10000 points. If your predicted film fails to gross more than $5M, you lose 4000 points on top of any accuracy deductions (you cannot gain points for accuracy). If you predict 100% of your films to within 10% you score 1000 bonus points per film If you predict 100% of your films to within 5% you score 1000 + 2000 + 3000 and so on bonus points to the number of films predicted. Abstaining wins you 2000 points You may choose up to 8 films for this question. Deadline is same as the usual weekly questions deadline. For clarity, percentage will be Worked out based on the films actual gross not your predicted gross. So if a film grosses $10M for the weekend, $9.5M is 5%, $9M is 10% and so on. It is not if you predict $9M then 9.45M is 5% and 9.9M is 10% and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAJK Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Hmmm... not sure whether or not I should participate in this one. It looks like fun, but I have so much to do tonight and I want to get around to the weekly questions, and try SOTM 3. I'll abstain for now, just so that if I don't get around to it I still get me some 2000 points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
