Jake Gittes Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Gotta love how Annabelle just jumped over Yesterday to take #15 at the last second on account of making 800k this weekend thanks to an It fudge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasmmi Posted September 10, 2019 Author Share Posted September 10, 2019 Looks like I have a lot of scoring to do after work today... Weeklies will get dones at worst, then it's time to do the SOTMs (before I discover a stupid amount still need Monday's gross to be sure...) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chasmmi Posted September 10, 2019 Author Share Posted September 10, 2019 So in a change to regularly scheduled programming, I am gonna go through SOTMs first and leave weekly scoring to either @JJ-8 @captainwondyful or possibly future me. And without further adder, here is SOTM 1: Here are 5 grosses (in USD): 20M 40M 60M 80M 100M Pick a film and international region for each number e.g. If your film falls within 5% of that target either side: 50,000 Points If your film falls within 10% of that target either side: 40,000 Points If your film falls within 20% of that target either side: 30,000 Points If your film falls within 30% of that target either side: 20,000 Points If your film falls within 40% of that target either side: 10,000 Points If your film falls within 50% of that target either side: 2,000 Points If your film doesn't fall within 50% of that target either side: Minus 20,000 Points If your film fails to be released / reported in the territory of your choice, you score zero for that prediction. Abstain is 3,000 So I went through all the choices that were made and this is what you could have won: 20 Points 40 Points 60 Points 80 Points 100 Points Taiwan Endgame 2 India Endgame -20 Mexico Endgame 20 Korea Endgame 10 UK Endgame 40 Hong K Endgame 2 UK Slop 10 Korea Spider 50 China SLOP -20 Korea Endgame 40 Mexico Annabelle 30 Russia Endgame 30 Australia Endgame 50 Brazil Endgame 40 Japan Toy Story 40 Argenti Endgame 30 UK Spider 30 China SLOP -20 Japan Toy Story 30 Australia SLOP 10 Korea Spider 2 Brazil Endgame 2 Mexico Endgame 50 Phillip Endgame -20 German Endgame 40 Russia Spider 40 France Endgame 50 Malay Endgame 40 India Endgame 50 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chasmmi Posted September 10, 2019 Author Share Posted September 10, 2019 SOTM 2... Here are 50,000 points!!! Woohoo, hooray we all win!!! You have two choices. Keep your 50,000 points and ignore the rest of this question. Or INVEST!!!! If you make a full investment, you will receive 1,000 points for every $5m, the invested film makes (if it makes $9.9999M, you get 1000 points not 2000, no rounding up). If you make a partial investment, you will receive 500 points for every $5m, the invested film makes (if it makes $9.9999M, you get 500 points not 1000, no rounding up). Movie List... Here are the scores for all films that got chosen...

chasmmi Posted September 10, 2019 Author Share Posted September 10, 2019 SOTM2 results... With this, Endgame was a solid play but not the biggest by a long way. Aladdin was the biggest winning play here, followed by John with and Once Upon a Time.

Wrath Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 (edited) Dammit. If Annabelle manages to hang onto 15th place, I'm 14/15 DOM. Which is nice, except that I had Dark Phoenix at 14 and Once Upon a Time as my alternate. *THAT* close to 15/15. Edit - Having looked over the lists, I think a couple folks did manage to pull off the elusive 15/15.

We could have lost both endgame and it. endgame kicked off the summer a week early; It did not close the summer a week late, it kicked off the fall. so yeah, for the "summer game" to continue past labor day - or to begin a week before the first big tentpole, like last year - i think is nonsensical. not a life or death question, obviously, but that's my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chasmmi Posted September 12, 2019 Author Share Posted September 12, 2019 Ok, so SOTM3 was supposed to be minus 5k for an abstain, but the thread doesn't say that. So I'll need to quickly switch those scores up and then more onto SOTM4 and beyond for a couple hours... (Mother is visiting for a week that has severely hampered my scoring time, apologies) Lots of apologies 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
