(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.

Cars 3 - $180M - too low 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? DIARY OF A WIMPY KID 2. Which non-animated film will be the highest grossing? ALL EYES ON ME 3. Will a non-animated film on that list make the main games Domestic Top 15 list? NO 4. Will any film double its predicted gross? NO 5. Will any film fail to reach half of its predicted gross? NO 6.

There is no risk of losing points in part B. There is also the option to abstain from this question.
