The Summer Game 2017 | Beans have been counted, sprouts measured, zombies destroyed, and Tele relegated to... oh wait better not... | Let the Pre-Season Reveals begin ...

[aabattery]

I'm not brave enough to check my preseason.

[baumer]

Quick glance...only Tele, Goffe, Chewy got the top two spots right by picking WW and GOTG2.

 

No one got the top three right.

[jj99]

Preseason.

 

DOM: 12/15

OW: 6/7 (Transformers fucked me over)

WW: 10/10

[dxmatrixdt]

are we going to grade Transformers OW differently?

[JJ-8]

OW's are clear.. it will be based upon 3 day weekends only.  so no @Matrix4You

 

As always you are welcome to tally up your scores if you like but please refrain from posting to much info for others... myself and Chas will be working in the background to pull all the numbers together and then the big reveals will happen as always leading to a possible surprise winner.......

 

So if you haven't paid the scorers off properly... expect a score in the bottom half of the game... and or you are of course if you are @Squadron Leader Tele we have a special score for you if you pull another stunner like you did during winter.....

But the release date was changed after submissions closed.

 Surely there has to be an exception you guys can make.  or a bonus for those who got 6/7 with the 7th being transformers.

 

Spoiler

Lol. I know im pushing my luck.

In regards to this preseason question :-

 

Final General Question

 

Q14) Will a film released domestically make more in an International Market (must be a single market such as China, United Kindom, etc) this summer (Both markets must release during the game and be elegible for the top 15 domestic - ie. as per the list of films Chasmmi has posted) ? 

 

I present the most obvious choice here :-

 

the below makes this a clear YES.

 

Transformers:The Last Knight

Domestic Total as of Aug. 14, 2017:$129,845,627 Distributor: Paramount Release Date: June 21, 2017 Genre: Sci-Fi Action Runtime: 2 hrs. 29 min. MPAA Rating: PG-13 Production Budget: $217 million

China

PPI

$119,682,298

Is Wolf Warrior 2 not gonna be in the WW top 10 for the purposes of the game?

[JJ-8]

Just looking at the answers to the only quesiton of the 30 Qn's (sorry 29) that can't be answered and damn it's going down to the wire....

 

Rank the 4 comic book adaptions Domestic and international...

 

Only certainties are :-

 

1) GOTG 2 International = 473m

..

5) GOTG 2 Domestic = 389m (it's done earning so barring any further expansions, it's not moving from here)

6) SMH Domestic = 307m

7) Valerian International = 76m

8) Valerian Domestic = 39m

 

Spots 2 - 4 are a toss up between the following:

 

2) WW Domestic = 402m 

3) SMH International = 395.6m

4) WW International = 395.2m

 

2, 3 and 4 are a toss up.  But looking at release dates, Japan gets SMH  about 7 days back which is yet to be included in any totals while WW doesn't get japan until the 25th august.  also of note, WW isn't making a lot internationally right now while SMH made 12.4 on the 4-6 August (last reported weekend).  In regards to WW domestic it should get close to 410m though i think SMH should pass that at this point.

 

so my guess for this:

 

2) SMH International

3) WW Domestic

4) WW International (may swap into 3rd depending on Japan.

No.  for the game WW top 10 must have been released domestically "wide"

[WrathOfHan]

I was warning the forum for months Transformers was in for a big drop. You guys should have listened  

[JJ-8]

starting to plug the numbers into preseason scoring spreadsheet.... starting with the preseason questions (the 30 29 questions at the end)....

 

so far most seem to be getting a very average to low result between 140k and 170k.  only 1 so far has gotten the bonus and not surpisingly that score jumped well over 300k... 

 

I should note, we are going to be pending Part 1 Q1 final results as noted above.  but no harm plugging them in and then updated with the final results once the game has ended

What's the point of having States in Australia?  If you live anywhere other than Sydney you'll be eaten alive by the Spiders/Snakes/Crocs/Box Jellyfish/Drop Bears/Killer Worms/Sharks/Octopus/Kangaroos/Killer Worms/Killer Centipedes/Cassowaries/Stonefish

 

And the Outback's a desert wilderness that'll cause even the toughest Texan to have a heat stroke, no people can live there.  You'll walk outside, die and have your rotting corpse be scavenged by a Croc or Kangaroo.
