BSG Movie Trivia worth 20,000 points is up.

[baumer]

I recalled last year in 2011 the BSG started with weekend of April 29 with Fast Five.By the way I am thinking I might not play the game this year, thinking I might get to buzy to play this year around the first/second week of June, with other things going on with my life. Plus I think coming up with the top 12 movies of summer is going to be harder this year, atleast for me. I thinking I am totally clueless to how much some the summer movies are going to make this far out.

Of course it did. But that was for FF and May 1st fell on that weekend.

[kayumanggi]

If there are a lot of requests for that I might do it, but it has always started the first week of May.

I hope there are. It's a high-profile project.

I am requesting that too

[baumer]

I have some great ideas ( I think) for the game this year. There will be more opportunity for points and it will test your box office prognostication skills more than ever.

[kayumanggi]

I like that. #soexcited

[BK007]

Was it top 12 we have to predict every year?1. The Dark Knight Rises 450+2. The Avengers 300+3. The Amazing Spider Man 250+4. Brave 200+5. Snow White and the Huntsman 160+6. Prometheus 140+7. Ice Age: Continental Drift 140+8. Battleship 140+9. The Bourne Legacy 110+10. GI Joe: Retaliation 110+11. Neighbourhood Watch 85+12. That's My Boy 70+Hmm...can't tell if this year's or last year's was harder. A lot of surefire hits this year guaranteed to be in, but then the bottom few could be any movie really. Dictator 40+Men in Black 3 80+Rock of Ages 65+Expendable 2 65+Madagascar 3 70+Dark Shadows 50+Ted 40+Abraham Lincoln 30+Campaign 80+

Only FOUR 200 M summer films? That's a bad record.

[BK007]

^That's the minimum it will gross Kayu. I think we could get up to 8 films which is basically until Battleship.Madagascar 3, Men in Black 3 and Abe Lincoln should be delightful epic bombs. Fingers crossed.

[kayumanggi]

I see.

When does Summer end?

[baumer]

Grosses count up until and including Monday September 3rd.

[kayumanggi]

That's a terrible summer. Only three (four) 200 M films?

[baumer]

Yes, I don't think this summer looks all that appealing. I might change them once i get some more trailers.

[Mattrek]

Yes, I don't think this summer looks all that appealing. I might change them once i get some more trailers.

If Hunger Games in March hits 300m as most other films this year have broke out beyone our expectations, I'd seriously doubt we'd only have that few when movies like Lorax are hitting 200m.
