chasmmi Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Seems like I am kind of creating a tradition of sorts to kick off SOTM season with this style of question. Often though, it is not a wielder of big points, so I think I may try to tweak the risk/reward just a little... (There is now a part PART A: Below are 10 films due for release between the start of the game and June 16th, along with their predicted total grosses according to http://pro.boxoffice.com/long-range-forecast-cars-3-rough-night-eyez/ 1. King Arthur - $67M 2. Lowriders - $15.3M 3. Snatched - $85M 4. Diary of a Wimpy Kid - $32M 5. Everything Everything - $26M 6. It Comes at Night - $39M 7. Captain Underpants - $93.5M 8. All Eyes on Me - $49M 9. Rough Night - $80M 10. Cars 3 - $180M All you have to do is predict whether the predictions above are too high, or too low. You can choose to predict for as many or as few films as you wish. If you wish to go further, you could also choose to wager that a film will make less than half or more than double the above predictions. These predictions have bigger risks and bigger rewards. Predictions will be scored as follows: Correct High/Low Prediction - 8000 points Correct Double/Half Prediction - 20000 points Incorrect High/Low Prediction - Minus 6000 points Incorrect Double/Half Prediction - Minus 15000 points PART B: Here are 10 questions: 1. Which film not called Lowriders will be the lowest grossing? 2. Which non-animated film will be the highest grossing? 3. Will a non-animated film on that list make the main games Domestic Top 15 list? 4. Will any film double its predicted gross? 5. Will any film fail to reach half of its predicted gross? 6. Will the actual combined total gross for the 10 films be higher or lower than the predicted total gross? 7. Percentage wise, what will be boxoffice.com's best prediction? 8. Percentage wise, what will be boxoffice.com's worst prediction? 9. Will 3 or more of these films open in the number 2 position? 10. Will 2 or more of these films open in 5th or lower? Predictions will be scored as follows: Number of correct answers in Part A x Number of correct answers in Part B x 1000 So if you got 6 correct in part A and 4 correct in part B, you will score: 6 x 4 x 1000 = 24,000 points for part B. There is no risk of losing points in part B. There is also the option to abstain from this question. If you state that you Abstain in this Thread, you will receive 3000 points Any player who does not predict or state abstain in this thread will lose 8000 points The Deadline is Thursday May 4th at 11:59pm (Game start time) Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chasmmi Posted May 4, 2017 Author Share Posted May 4, 2017 PART A: Below are 10 films due for release between the start of the game and June 16th, along with their predicted total grosses according to http://pro.boxoffice.com/long-range-forecast-cars-3-rough-night-eyez/ 1. King Arthur - $67M will be higher 2. Lowriders - $15.3M will be higher 3. Snatched - $85M will be lower 4. Diary of a Wimpy Kid - $32M will be higher 5. Everything Everything - $26M will be lower 6. It Comes at Night - $39M will be higher 7. Captain Underpants - $93.5M Well be higher 8. All Eyes on Me - $49M will be higher 9. Rough Night - $80M will be lower 10. Cars 3 - $180M Will be higher All you have to do is predict whether the predictions above are too high, or too low. You can choose to predict for as many or as few films as you wish. If you wish to go further, you could also choose to wager that a film will make less than half or more than double the above predictions. These predictions have bigger risks and bigger rewards. Predictions will be scored as follows: Correct High/Low Prediction - 8000 points Correct Double/Half Prediction - 20000 points Incorrect High/Low Prediction - Minus 6000 points Incorrect Double/Half Prediction - Minus 15000 points PART B: Here are 10 questions: 1. Which film not called Lowriders will be the lowest grossing? Wimpy kid 2. Which non-animated film will be the highest grossing? Snatched 3. Will a non-animated film on that list make the main games Domestic Top 15 list? Yes 4. Will any film double its predicted gross? No 5. Will any film fail to reach half of its predicted gross? no 6. Will the actual combined total gross for the 10 films be higher or lower than the predicted total gross? Higher 7. Percentage wise, what will be boxoffice.com's best prediction? Cars 3 8. Percentage wise, what will be boxoffice.com's worst prediction? Lowriders 9. Will 3 or more of these films open in the number 2 position? Yes 10. Will 2 or more of these films open in 5th or lower? Yes Predictions will be scored as follows: Number of correct answers in Part A x Number of correct answers in Part B x 1000 So if you got 6 correct in part A and 4 correct in part B, you will score: 6 x 4 x 1000 = 24,000 points for part B. There is no risk of losing points in part B. There is also the option to abstain from this question. If you state that you Abstain in this Thread, you will receive 3000 points Any player who does not predict or state abstain in this thread will lose 8000 points The Deadline is Thursday May 4th at 11:59pm (Game start time) Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
