baumer Posted May 26, 2012 Author Share Posted May 26, 2012 Thanks Shawn. I know this will not please everyone but this is not my fault that Paramount did one of the most egregious things in the history of the summer box office imo. And no matter what decision was made, it would anger and upset some people. But weighing all the options, this one seemed the most fair. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted May 26, 2012 Author Share Posted May 26, 2012 I'm going to get absolutely rocked this weekend. I'm not sure if I'll get 5 questions right. I bombed on the MIB stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted May 26, 2012 Founder / Operator Share Posted May 26, 2012 Thanks Shawn. I know this will not please everyone but this is not my fault that Paramount did one of the most egregious things in the history of the summer box office imo. And no matter what decision was made, it would anger and upset some people. But weighing all the options, this one seemed the most fair.It does kind of suck for us in the game, but financially, it could make sense for the studio. Converting 3D is going to ensure a huge overseas take - even if the movie disappoints domestically (which I think it might have had it stayed in summer).

baumer Posted May 26, 2012 Author Share Posted May 26, 2012 Yes, I have been thinking about that too. With big markets like Russia and China loving 3D, it might turn out to be a good move for them.Shawn can you go to the reports and check out the spammer report? I suspended him and I need to know if it was done correctly or what the protocol is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted May 29, 2012 Author Share Posted May 29, 2012 SOTM 4 By July 1sts actuals, will these films surpass these totals? A) Moonrise Kingdom: 10 mill Chernobyl Diaries: 20 mill C) Best Exotic Marigold Hotel: 25 mill D) Hunger Games: 401 mill E) Dictator: 53 mill F) Intouchables: 600K Here's how it works.Every film you choose to go for is worth 2500 points. If you go for two films, there is no penalty for getting one wrong except that you will not get points for the film or films you get wrong. So if you get 1 of 2 correct, you get 2500 points. Get 0 of 2 correct you get 0 but lose nothing. Here's where it gets interesting. If you choose to go for 3 films and you get all three correct, you get a bonus of 2000 points. If you go for three and you get even 1 wrong, you will lose 5000 points. If you choose to go for 4 films and if you get 1 or more wrong you lose 8000 points. If you go for 5 films and get them all correct, no bonus. If you get 1 or more wrong, you will lose 10,000 points. If you go for all 6, get all six right, you get a 5000 point bonus. It is already worth 15,000. If you get 1 or more wrong, you lose 15,000 points. Deadline for this SOTM is Monday June 4th at 10 pm BO.com time. Good luck and don't be late!
