SOTM 10 Answers

 

6 wide (or at least wide-ish) releases are due to hit our screens by January 22nd. They are:

 

13 Hours = 3.19 x

Norm of the North = 2.44 x

Ride Along 2 = 2.45 x

The 5th wave = 3.09 x 

The Boy = 3.10 x

Dirty Grandpa = 3.11 x

 

You may choose as many or as few films as you wish. For each film you choose, you must predict what its multiplier (for the opening 3 day, not 4 day) will be come the end of the game.

 

You must predict to 1 decimal place, no more, no less! 4.6, 11.9, 1.4 - these are eligible numbers to predict.

 

Scoring is as follows:

 

correct to within 0.2 higher or lower: 10,000 points

correct to within 0.21 - 0.5 higher or lower: 5000 points

correct to within 0.51 - 0.8 higher or lower: lose 1000 points

correct to within 0.81 - 1.0 higher or lower: lose 4000 points

correct to within 1.01 or more, higher or lower: lose 8000 points

 

Potential bonuses losses if you predict more than 1 film:

 

If all of the films you choose to predict score positive points: 5000 bonus points per film predicted.

If all of the films you choose to predict score maximum points: 10000 bonus points per film predicted.

 

Abstain is worth 2000 points

No prediction loses 5000 points

 

Deadline is Thursday 21st January at 11:59pm

SOTM 11: The Price is Wrong! B****es! - Answers

 

 

Another day, another SOTM (and hopefully one that more than 2 people will play  )

 

Below will be 12 questions. You MUST answer all 12.

 

1. What will Kung Fu Panda's OW be? 41.28m

2. What will Revenant's total be by the end of the game? 165.18m

3. What will Star Wars' February gross be (till end of game of course)? 25.95m

4. What will Norm of the North's 2nd weekend drop be? 3.02m

 

5. What will Dirty Grandpa's 2nd weekend total be? 7.59m

6. What will be the difference between 50 Shades of Black's OW and 50 Shades of Grey's? 79.27m

7. What will Hail Caesar and Pride and Prejudice's Combine OW be? 16.68m

8. What will be the difference in Zoolander and Deadpool's OW? 118.59m

 

9. What will be the difference in total gross between Alvin and Sister's by the end of the game? 2.34m

10. What will be the Big Short's total January Gross (starting from January 1st)? 36.97m

11. What will be the gross of the 15th placed film domestic at the end of the game? 72.18m

12. What will the Hateful 8 gross between February 1st and February 10th (inclusive)? 0.77m

 

(when scoring i'm using the full number not the rounded as shown above)

 

Here is how the scoring works:

 

If your prediction is under the final total and within 2%: Score 10000 points

If your prediction is under the final total and within 5%: Score 8000 points

If your prediction is under the final total and within 10%: Score 6000 points

If your prediction is under the final total and within 15%: Score 4000 points

If your prediction is under the final total and within 20%: Score 3000 points

If your prediction is under the final total and within 25%: Score 2000 points

If your prediction is under the final total and within 30%: Score 1000 points

If your prediction is under the final total and within 40%: Score 500 points

If your prediction is under the final total and within 50%: Score 100 points

 

However if you are even $1 over the final total, you will lose 5000 points no matter how close you are!

 

Further Bonuses:

 

If you Score at least 1000 points on every question, get a 10000 point bonus

If you Score at least 3000 points on every question, get a 20000 point bonus

If you Score at least 6000 points on every question, get a 40000 point bonus 

If you Score 10000 points on every question, for the love of Buddha never choose to use your powers for evil and get a 80000 point bonus

 

Technically 200,000 points can be won here, but if it happens, I will personally fly a bottle of any beverage to the value of $7 to there home as a tribute to their ungodly powers.

 

Deadline is Thursday 21st January 11:59pm, no abstaining, not answering in this thread loses 5000 points.

 

And also, your final total will be rounded UP to the nearest 1000 points in order to not make the final scores look ugly.

Now for the "i've decided that Chasmmi is banned from making any more SOTM questions"  this question is just pure evil and when you see the  scores you will see why!  WHY Chasmmi WHY! 

 

SOTM 14: The final question of the winter... well questions and then there is also the week 19 quest... damn it! It's a cool title I'm sticking with it. - Answers

 

As this is the final SOTM of the winter, I must endeavour to include as much mindfuckery as possible

 

Here are 5 simple questions:

 

1. What will Deadpool gross on Valentines Day? 42.591m

2. What will The Witch's OW be? 8.800m

3. What will Zoolander's total be by the end of the game? 23.673m

4. What will Kung Fu Panda's Worldwide total be by the end of the game? 294.179m

5. What will Risen make Opening Day? 4.018m

 

All you need to do is predict a value for each question. Simples...

 

Wait that's no good I promised Mindfuckery and thus Mindfuckery I must deliver!!! But how? Yes of course an insanely, over elaborate hateful scoring system!

 

There are 28 players who have contributed answers/predictions in some form during this game and thus it is possible for a players prediction to place anywhere from closest, to 28th closest. For each question you will score the following points based on how close to the actual total you finished:

 

1st - 1000 points (That is not a typo )

2nd - 0 points

3rd - minus 1000 points

4th - minus 2000 points

5th - minus 3000 points

 

6th - minus 4000 points

7th - minus 6000 points

8th - minus 8000 points

9th - minus 10000 points

10th - minus 10000 points

 

11th - minus 12000 points

12th - minus 12000 points

13th - minus 15000 points

14th - minus 15000 points

15th - minus 15000 points

 

16th - minus 18000 points

17th - minus 18000 points

18th - minus 18000 points

19th - minus 18000 points

20th - minus 18000 points

 

21st - minus 20000 points

22nd - minus 20000 points

23rd - minus 20000 points

24th - minus 20000 points

25th - minus 20000 points

 

26th - minus 20000 points

27th - minus 20000 points

28th - minus 20000 points

 

(If two people predict the exact same value, the winner will be decided based on who predicted earlier. If any players do not post a prediction they will all gather at the bottom end of the points table for every question.)

 

ABSTAIN, ABSTAIN, ABSTAIN!!! I hear you all cry and I would never take away one's right to abstain.

 

In fact you may choose to abstain from as few or as many questions as you wish, all for the low low price of minus 5000 points  (So for the mathemagicians amongst you that means to abstain from all 5 questions will score you minus 25000 points  )

 

Oh and one more little extra thing to sweeten the deal, anybody who ends the SOTM with a positive score, will receive a 50000 point bonus.

 

Enjoy, deadline is Thursday at 11:59pm

I would say the numbers have been crunched, turned, flipped, churned, seperated, sliced, diced, sent to another galaxy, half returned while other half goes through a black hole....... 

 

Should I just give up the winner now .... 

 

Spoiler

This is not the spoiler you were looking for.... move along

Can I just say that I am clearly awesome at insane SOTMs.

 

(I also get to bask in the happiness that the multiplier SOTm that most people abstained from for being crazy impossible and stupid to attempt, reaped positive points for everyone who answered it. [especially one true hero that shall remain both nameless and peerless  ] )

As you can see there is a clear gap between the top 6 and the rest of the pack. In fact 6th place is only 79k behind the lead, yet a massive 123k clear of 7th place.

 

Although wouldn't it be quite the Cinderella story is chas the outsider, pulled this out of the bag from nowhere.

 

In the big grudge match that was simmering a page ago, we also can see that Damienroc has a clear 265k lead over Telemachos...

[Infernus]

Ah, so I performed super bad in the very last weekly and had to end up tied for second place...

But I did very well in all the new SOTMs (new thing for me) !!!

Alas, the only guy I had pretty good chances of beating, @chasmmi, ended up being the one guy above me in, I think, every single one of those and went away with a 43k gain on me
