New proposition to make benefit for glorious box office forums site (Captain America total)

[baumer]

This one is very simple members of the forums.  

 

I think some of you Marvel loonies have gone a little crazy.  Predicting Captain America to do all kinds of crazy numbers.

 

Here's the proposition.....

 

I'll put my $100 up against ten of you.  I say that Captain America does not make 400 million domestic.  If it doesn't, all who take this challenge will owe the site $10.00.  If it does make 400 million domestic, then I will pay $10.00 per person to the site to a maximum of $100.00.

 

It's a win win.  Let's see who really has the stones to put it on the line.

 

Deadline to accept this challenge is Wednesday May 4th at midnight.

 

So it's simple....just accept the challenge or don't.

 

There can be more than 10 people to accept this challenge....however if you lose, you must pay up to the site.  

 

Who's in?

[Cochofles]

Unsurprisingly, neither iJack nor BKB have accepted the challenge.

[baumer]

To be fair, I just put it up.

[The Panda]

I may take it, but I'm currently predicting 405m for CW so that's really to close for comfort for me.  I'll give it some thought.

[cannastop]

Compelling, but I have two reasons why I will not take part.

 

1. I think Civil War will probably make less than $400 million.
2. I'm broke.

Is any admin checking that people who bet donations and loose are actually paying up ?

 

I'm sure most people are, but bets loose their purpose when people don't honnor them.

[Blankments]

I dib a spot, although I won't have the money to go in until the end of April. I'm predicting 446M, and although I could see it going lower, I'm fairly confident in over 400M

Yes, we do check.  You can also see the amount of money that has been donated to the forums on the main page.  So yes, we are keeping people honest.

I'd be willing to take that bet, I'm thinking 409m. Its a win-win for the site.

 

I'll probably pay the site anyways even if I win because I love this place.

[druv10]

I'm in. Tracking is pretty high and word is movie is being received very well.

BoxofficeZ, when are you seeing CA3?

[ZattMurdock]

Fuck it. I've already paid for two tickets and I'm going for a third. Superhero genre loonie represent. 

 

I'm in. 

[The Stingray]

Folks didn't learn their lesson with Age of Ultron. It's the same time is a flat circle shit as last time. Probably the same folks who predicted 700 mill for Ultron too.

 

[RandomCat]

This sounds fun. I'll go in for it.

 

Didn't realize there was a donate button.

I let the regular members have their shot but if you come up short on people let me know @Baumer

[langer]

[POTUS 2020]

[kayumanggi]

Make it 450 M, @Baumer. I think some are expecting 500 M.

[grey ghost]

I'm in.

 

I'm guessing 425 m.

[grey ghost]

This is an easy bet to take.

 

I think this will open slightly better than BvS with Winter Soldier legs.

 

450 m DOM is in play.
