The Summer Game | ZeeSoh has taken the lead with only the top 15 to reveal.... bring it on Chas!

[Jake Gittes]

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.

[chasmmi]

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...)

Did you really want to end the game on whatever the hell last weekend was? 

 

Tentpole to Tentpole had a nice symmetry to it. 

 

Now, I must get back to crying as I mark SOTM1 and see that Endgame made excatly 40M and 60M in every region anyone thought of...

 

 

[chasmmi]

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

 

[chasmmi]

And the scores for SOTM1 are in. Back in Winter, this was a murderous question that killed pretty much everyone that attempted it and made the abstainers the big winners. 

 

Has that repeated in the Summer... (scores are in thousands)

Well technically it’s the “summer game”. We could have lost both endgame and it.  

[chasmmi]

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...

 

Film	Full	Half
Endgame	171	86
Lion King	106	53
Spiderman	77	39

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.

Non-murderousness ftw.

[Wrath]

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.

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.

Anybody Not listed above scores Minus 55 points for 8 abstains/non-answers

Not that it'll save me but how did scoring work? I answered 3, got 2 right, abstained from 5:

(2 correct*25) - (1 wrong*40) = 50 - 40 = 10

10 + (5 abstain *5) = 10 +25 = 35

35 - 15 (abstaining 5+ questions) = 20

[chasmmi]

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
