CJohn Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 My tops are all done. Terminator isn't in any of them, and so aren't Magic Mike XXL, Mad Max and Pitch Perfect 2... I should give a look at them again tomorrow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasmmi Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 (edited) Pitch Perfect 2... I should give a look at them again tomorrow... That's the one that is bugging me the most. It's on everyone's list and every outside source has it making big, butI've never heard of it, or knew about the existence of a Pitch Perfect 1 so have no idea why the whole world seems to feel its going to make FIOS numbers. Ok I've just seen the trailer and yep I can definitely see this film grossing 40 maybe even 50 dollars total. It looks Sex Tape level awful Edited April 25, 2015 by chasmmi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PLAYERS: There may be more preseason bonus questions added before the start of the game. It is doubtful, but I hold the right to add a question if it seems right. The Ron Jeremy of all bonus questions This is a four parter: 1) Will Avengers make at least 600 million domestically? N 2) Will Avengers make more than a billion internationally? Y 3) Will Avengers do at least 25 million for previews? Y 4) Will Avengers make at least 1.8 billion WW? N Scoring: All questions you answer correctly are worth 7000 points. 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 20,000 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. NEW 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) Note*** Jurassic World does not qualify for this question A) Will any film listed as a horror OR thriller film by boxofficemojo.com gross more than 100 million dollars this summer? N Will any film listed as a horror OR thriller film by boxofficemojo.com open to more than 35 mill? Y C) Will any film listed as a horror OR thriller film by boxofficemojo.com have a second weekend drop of less than 47%? N D) Will any film listed as a horror OR thriller film by boxofficemojo.com have an opening day of more than 13 mill? Y Get any question right: 7000 Get any question wrong: -7000 Abstain from all four questions: 5000 Go 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 Double Secret Probation Bonus Question Very simple, but very dangerous. I'll give you a number, you tell me if Avengers will gross more or less than that number in said markets. 1) Russia: 42M Y 2) Germany: 31.5M Y 3) Portugal: 3M N 4) China: 200M Y If you go for this question, you must get all 4 correct. This is not a partial question. If you get at least 3 of the 4 correct, you will get 50,000. If you choose to abstain from this question, you will lose 15,000 points. If you go for the question and you do not get at least 3 or the 4 correct, you will lose 30,000 points. Choose Wisely. The "Hey maybe you haven't been keeping up on current events but we just got our asses kicked pal" question of debauchery. Will Jurassic World and F7 combine to make more than Avengers in these markets? 1) Japan Y 2) United Kingdom N 3) Columbia Y 4) Mexico N Each answer will be yes or no. Nothing more. You must get at least three correct. Get three correct, get a bonus of 50,000, don't get three correct, lose 25,000, abstain, lose 10,000. 1) How many films will gross at least 100 million dollars this summer? You have a cushion of 1 film. So if you are off by 1, you still get full points. 15 2) How many films will make a billion dollars this summer? No cushion 2 3) What will the domestic total gross be for the top 3 horror films of the summer. II don't want to see anything but a number in your answer. Do not list the films. Cushion of 50 mill 195m 4) How many films will gross at least 40 million opening day? No cushion 2 5) How many films will make at least 500 million internationally? cushion of 1. 5 6) Will Terminator Genisys and Pitch Perfect 2 and Insidious 3 combine to gross more than F7 domestically? N 7) Will Ted 2 make more than Ted? N 8) Will Tele love Mad Max and will baumer love Jurassic World? You must answer both. This is an honour system question. I will tell you right now that I think i will love Jurassic World. Y to both 9) Will any film released in August gross 100 mill before the end of the game?

PLAYERS: There may be more preseason bonus questions added before the start of the game. It is doubtful, but I hold the right to add a question if it seems right. The Ron Jeremy of all bonus questions This is a four parter: 1) Will Avengers make at least 600 million domestically? NO 2) Will Avengers make more than a billion internationally? YES 3) Will Avengers do at least 25 million for previews NO 4)) Will Avengers make at least 1.8 billion WW? NO Scoring: All questions you answer correctly are worth 7000 points. 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 20,000 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. NEW 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) Note*** Jurassic World does not qualify for this question A) Will any film listed as a horror OR thriller film by boxofficemojo.com gross more than 100 million dollars this summer? NO Will any film listed as a horror OR thriller film by boxofficemojo.com open to more than 35 mill?

YES Get any question right: 7000 Get any question wrong: -7000 Abstain from all four questions: 5000 Go 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 Double Secret Probation Bonus Question Very simple, but very dangerous. I'll give you a number, you tell me if Avengers will gross more or less than that number in said markets. 1) Russia: 42M YES 2) Germany: 31.5M NO 3) Portugal: 3M YES 4) China: 200M YES If you go for this question, you must get all 4 correct. This is not a partial question. If you get at least 3 of the 4 correct, you will get 50,000. If you choose to abstain from this question, you will lose 15,000 points. If you go for the question and you do not get at least 3 or the 4 correct, you will lose 30,000 points. Choose Wisely. The "Hey maybe you haven't been keeping up on current events but we just got our asses kicked pal" question of debauchery. Will Jurassic World and F7 combine to make more than Avengers in these markets? 1) Japan NO 2) United Kingdom YES 3) Columbia YES 4) Mexico YES Each answer will be yes or no. Nothing more. You must get at least three correct. Get three correct, get a bonus of 50,000, don't get three correct, lose 25,000, abstain, lose 10,000. As promised, here are your additional 20 25 questions for you. I love this part of the game. For every question you get right, you receive 7000 points. For every question you get wrong, you lose 2000 points. These are mandatory questions, there is no abstaining. Any player who is in this game, who does not answer these questions, loses 50,000 points. Do not forget to do these. Remember grosses count from May 1st until September 7th. All grosses come from boxofficemojo.com, all genres are determined by boxofficemojo.com.....so if I ask you a question about a romance, if that film is listed as a sci-fi/romance, then it will qualify as a romance. 1) How many films will gross at least 100 million dollars this summer? You have a cushion of 1 film. So if you are off by 1, you still get full points. 22 2) How many films will make a billion dollars this summer?

CJohn Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 (edited) Avengers: Age of Ultron – 520M Minions – 290M Inside Out – 260M Jurassic World – 240M Ant-Man – 225M Ted 2 – 180M Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation – 180M Spy – 155M Pixels – 140M Fantastic Four – 130M Trainwreck – 125M San Andreas – 125M Pitch Perfect 2 - 120M Tomorrowland – 110M Straight Outta Compton – 109M Because international numbers are so important, we cannot ignore the overseas gross. And we will not. International Flair #1: Tell me what the WW top 10 of the summer will be. The point structure will be as follows:Avengers: Age of Ultron – 1.7B Minions – 825M Inside Out – 715M Jurassic World – 700M Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation – 585M Ant-Man – 555M Ted 2 –490M Pixels – 365M Fantastic Four – 345M San Andreas – 340M Every film you call in the top 10 correct, you get 15,000 points. If you call the top 3 spots in order, you get a bonus of 100,000. If you can call the top 5 in order you will get a 250,000 point bonus. If you can call between the top 8 in order, a bonus of 400,000 and if you can call the top 10 WW films in order you will get you a bonus of 750,000. Call the gross correct within 50 mill: 20,000 points Call the gross within 50.1 mill to 75 mill 10,000 pts Call the gross within 75.1 to 100 mill 5000 pts. Miss the WW gross by more than 150 mill and you lose 20,000 points. I am giving you a buffer this year of 75 mill. If you call a film in the top 10 that doesn't appear in the top WW top 10, you will lose 15,000 points. International Flair #2:Avengers: Age of Ultron Jurassic WorldAnt-ManInside OutMad Max: Fury Road What five films will have the best weekends World Wide? I realize some films open day and date, and others do not. This is why it is now just best weekend. And to avoid more confusion, the weekend will include any numbers the film makes from the time it opens during that week. So if a film opens on a Wednesday, and all of that gross is reported as the opening gross, it will count. For every film in the top 5 you call correctly, you get 25,000 points. For every film you call incorrectly, you lose 10,000 points. If you call 3 of the top 5 correctly, regardless of order, you get a 20,000 point bonus. If you call all 5 correctly, regardless of order, you get a 75,000 point bonus PLEASE READ CAREFULLY: Tell me what films will finish with the 5 best opening weekends domestically. Opening weekends will include any money made on Thursday sneaks. One caveat to this is that if a film changes it's release date, only the gross from Thursday to Sunday will count. So for example, if Jurassic World suddenly decides that it wants to open on a Wednesday, only the gross from Thursday to Sunday will count. There will be no exceptions to this.Avengers: Age of Ultron – 220M Jurassic World – 90M Ant-Man – 85M Minions – 84M Inside Out – 68M Scoring for best opening weekends: For every film you call correctly in the top five, regardless of order, you will receive 15,000 points. For every film you call in the exact spot it opens, you will get 25,000 points. If you are able to call 3 of the 5 correctly, you will receive a 75,000 point bonus. Call all five correctly, you get a 250,000 point bonus. For every film you call incorrectly in the top 5, you lose 10,000 points. And finally, because it went over pretty well last year I am going to have a 5 lowest grossing films of the summer bonus.DOPE Shaun the Sheep The Outskirts Self/Less The Gift You pick the 5 lowest grossing films of the summer. You can only choose films that are listed on boxofficemojo as WIDE. So for a film to qualify for the bottom 5 grossing films of the summer, please make sure that it is listed as wide as of April 26th. Once that date has passed, I will then list all films here that are listed as wide. And remember the lowest grossing films can only be released up until August 14th. For every film that makes the bottom 5 that you call correctly, you will receive 20,000. If you can call 4 of 5 right, you get a 50,000 bonus. If you call all 5 right, you get a 150,000 point bonus. There are no deduction of points for wrong answers. This is 100% bonus for you. I had a blast running this last year and it will be just as much fun this year. I hope all of you participate. The three winners last year were incredibly accurate and I expect nothing less this year. This thread will be the thread where the summer game discussion will take place up until the opening of the game. After April 26th, I will lock this.. Once the game starts, there will be a whole new forum opened where we will post our weekly answers and so on. More on this later as the information becomes available. LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!! I like what Chas did in his winter game, it makes it so much easier for scoring. So if you use this template below...in other words, if you copy the questions and then put the answer beside the question, you get a 25,000 point bonus to start. If you do not use the right template, and just put in your answers, I'm deducting you 25,000 points. You have no idea how hard it is to score these questions when the template is not copied. HERE ARE YOUR FIRST PRE SEASON BONUS QUESTIONS THAT MUST BE ANSWERED BEFORE THURSDAY APRIL 30TH AT 6PM. THESE WILL BE WORTH A TOTAL OF 15,000 POSSIBLE POINTS. 15,000 IF CORRECT -5000 IF INCORRECT 3000 FOR TELLING ME THAT YOU ARE ABSTAINING Tell me, of these four films, which one will be the lowest grossing of the summer.

PLAYERS: There may be more preseason bonus questions added before the start of the game. It is doubtful, but I hold the right to add a question if it seems right. The Ron Jeremy of all bonus questions This is a four parter: 1) Will Avengers make at least 600 million domestically? Abstain2) Will Avengers make more than a billion internationally? YES3) Will Avengers do at least 25 million for previews Abstain4)) Will Avengers make at least 1.8 billion WW? AbstainScoring: All questions you answer correctly are worth 7000 points. 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 20,000 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. NEW 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) Note*** Jurassic World does not qualify for this question A) Will any film listed as a horror OR thriller film by boxofficemojo.com gross more than 100 million dollars this summer? AbstainWill any film listed as a horror OR thriller film by boxofficemojo.com open to more than 35 mill? AbstainC) 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 13 mill? YES Get any question right: 7000 Get any question wrong: -7000 Abstain from all four questions: 5000 Go 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 Double Secret Probation Bonus Question Very simple, but very dangerous. I'll give you a number, you tell me if Avengers will gross more or less than that number in said markets. 1) Russia: 42M Abstain 2) Germany: 31.5M YES 3) Portugal: 3M Abstain 4) China: 200M YES If you go for this question, you must get all 4 correct. This is not a partial question. If you get at least 3 of the 4 correct, you will get 50,000. If you choose to abstain from this question, you will lose 15,000 points. If you go for the question and you do not get at least 3 or the 4 correct, you will lose 30,000 points. Choose Wisely. The "Hey maybe you haven't been keeping up on current events but we just got our asses kicked pal" question of debauchery. Will Jurassic World and F7 combine to make more than Avengers in these markets? 1) Japan YES 2) United Kingdom YES 3) Colombia YES 4) Mexico YES Each answer will be yes or no. Nothing more. You must get at least three correct. Get three correct, get a bonus of 50,000, don't get three correct, lose 25,000, abstain, lose 10,000. As promised, here are your additional 20-25 questions for you. I love this part of the game. For every question you get right, you receive 7000 points. For every question you get wrong, you lose 2000 points. These are mandatory questions, there is no abstaining. Any player who is in this game, who does not answer these questions, loses 50,000 points. Do not forget to do these. Remember grosses count from May 1st until September 7th. All grosses come from boxofficemojo.com, all genres are determined by boxofficemojo.com.....so if I ask you a question about a romance, if that film is listed as a sci-fi/romance, then it will qualify as a romance. 1) How many films will gross at least 100 million dollars this summer?
