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.

do you suggest that if someone lives near one of these regions, they should not be in charge of any games on here in case they die and there is no backup??

GRADING SOTM 7.....

These are based on my estimates.  If the rankings of the movies changes to affect the game, of course I will regrade ASAP!

The following July 7th - August 18th Wide Release films were predicted to make the top 15 by 0-5 players:

 

Girls Trip

Atomic Blonde

Annabelle 2 

Hitman's Bodyguard

Wish Upon

Kidnap

Glass Castle

Nut Job 2

Logan Lucky

 

Predict where each film will finish for the summer. There are 5 choices you can make:

 

TOP 10    (40,000 / 30,000)

11-15th    (25,000 / 20,000)

16-20th   (20,000 / 15,000)

21-25th   (15,000 / 20,000)

26th or lower    (10,000 / 30,000)

 

The numbers in brackets show the points you can win/lose (win on the left, lose on the right)

 

You can predict as many films as you like, but you must choose a minimum of 3 to play!

 

Abstain is worth Minus 5000 points

 

Deadline is Thursday 29th at 11:59pm

ESTIMATES FOR HOW THINGS COULD LOOK AFTER LABOR DAY MONDAY

Here is what we are looking at (SOTM 7 movies are in bold)

1. Wonder Woman - 407.5

2. Galaxy Vol. 2 - 390

3. Spider-Man - 323

4. Despicable Me 3 - 256

5. Dunkirk - 180

6. Pirates 5 - 172.5

7. Cars 3 - 150

8. Apes - 144.5

9. Transformers - 130.75

10. Girls Trip - 111.5

 

11. Baby Driver - 105

12. Annabelle - 90

13. Emoji Movie - 82.5

14. The Mummy - 80.25

15. Alien Covenant - 74.5

 

16. Captain Underpants - 73.5

17. Baywatch - 58,060,186

18. Atomic Blonde - 52

19. Hitman's Bodyguard - (50-60)

20. The Dark Tower - 47.5

 

21. Snatched - 45,852,178

22. All Eyez on Me - 44,922,302

23. 47 Meters Down - 44

24. The Big Sick - (42-46)

25. Valerian - 40

 

26. King Arthur - 39,175,066

27. Kidnap - 29+

28. Nut Job 2 - 27+

29. Logan Lucky 25+

30. The House - 25.5

31. Detroit - 18

32. The Glass Castle - 18

33. Wish Upon - 14.1

 

As you can see, the final gross of King Arthur should be the threshold for Kidnap, Nut Job 2, Logan Lucky, The Glass Castle, or Wish Upon finishing 26th or lower.

It looks like the 45M+ range will get you into 20th place unless The Big Sick really expands big.  Atomic Blonde looks safe at 16th-20th, and so does The Hitman's Bodyguard but this will take a regrade if HB falls belows or blows up by Labor Day Monday and gets to 15th place (which it could reach eventually).

Girls Trip looks safe at 10th place unless Baby Driver has an outstanding re-expansion.  Annabelle will take the 11-15th slot.

 

THIS SHOULD BE THE ANSWERS

Top 10 - Girls Trip

11th - 15th - Annabelle

16th - 20th - Atomic Blonde, Hitman's Bodyguard

20-25th -

26th or lower - Kidnap, Nut Job 2, Logan Lucky, Glass Castle, Wish Upon.

Props to Jake Gittes for winning SOTM 7 by going for all of them, and in the process, correctly guessing Girl's Trip making the top 10.  The odds were in your favor.  Props also for franfar for guessing only 3 but getting all 3 right which includes 2 easy ones + Girls Trip making the top 10.  Risky!  And also props to Squadron Leader Tele who got second place by guessing and getting 5 out of 5 correct.

26 people played, and 4 abstained.  The other 11 did not participate and were penalized the same as abstain.

I'll take a stab at SOTM 11

[WrathOfHan]

SOTM 11:

 

1. Will Nut Job open to more than $10M? No.

2. Will Nut Job drop less than 50% in its 2nd weekend? Yes. 

3. Will Nut Job increase on Saturday? Yes.

4. Will Nut job increase more than 37.5% on its 1st Tuesday? Yes. 

5. Will Nut Job have more than 9 days above $1M? Yes. It'll be at 7 days after this weekend. It should have at least one more 1M day over the next week, and Labor Day should get it to 9 if it isn't there already. I'll include scores in parentheses if No is the answer just in case. 

6. Will Nut Job more than $2M ahead of Emoji Movie in the August 18th Weekend standings? No. They'll have about 1M separating them when actuals are in.

7. Will Nut Job make more than $4M in the UK? No. It debuted to 460k in 10th place last weekend, so obviously it won't have legs in the UK.

Jake Gittes (53k)

Despicable (10k) = 10k

Boss Baby (10k) = 8k

Dunkirk (10k) = 21k

All Eyez (10k) = 2k

Megan L (10k) = 4k

Baby D (10K) = 8k

 

Wait. If I bet 10k and win, multiplied by the number in brackets don't I get 20k for Despicable Me (10,000x2), 18k for Boss Baby, 31k for Dunkirk, etc.? I'm not sure how you arrived at these points.
