Ok, so SOTM 4 (Oh my word, BO.com had a bit of a mare here...)

 

1. Long Shot $50M  Too High

2. Uglydolls $48M  Half

7. Percentage wise, what will be boxoffice.com's best prediction?  THE HUSTLE

8. Percentage wise, what will be boxoffice.com's worst prediction?  Sun is also a star (Somehow Shaft's 100M prediction didn't win here!)

9. Will any of the films open in the number 1 position?  Yes

10. Will 3 or more of these films open in 4th or lower?  YES

 

Number of correct answers in Part A x Number of correct answers in Part B x 1000

Any player who does not predict or state abstain in this thread will lose 10000 points

And onto SOTM 5

 

 

Here is a selections of things that will equal a dollar value in order

 

J - $100M 

D - Toy Story's OW minus Child's Play's OW 106.8M

G - Men in Black's Domestic Total 79.7M

C - Spider-Man's Opening Tues-Friday total 125.1M

E - Ma + Dog's Journey Total Domestic Gross 67.8M

 

A - Double Dark Phoenix's OW 65.6M

F - Godzilla's Opening 2 day Total in China 50M

H - Triple Secret Life of Pet's Opening Day 49M

I - Rocketman's Domestic Total minus Yesterday's Domestic Total 23.1M

B - Aladdin's Domestic total minus its OW total 263M

 

 

List as many of the above as you wish from closest to $100M at the top down to furthest from $100M at the bottom.

 

Scoring:

 

Starting from the top, you will score 10,000 points if the next choice on the list is further away from 100 Mil than the one above. 

 If you can put together a chain of 3 correct values, you will get a bonus 20,000 points

 If you can put together a chain of 5 correct values, you will get a further bonus 30,000 points

 If you can put together a chain of 7 correct values, you will get another bonus 40,000 points

 If you can put together a chain of 9 correct values, you will get a final extra bonus 70,000 points

 

If a value in your list is incorrect, you will get minus 5,000 

If a second value in your list is incorrect, you will get minus 12,000

Any further value in your list that is incorrect, you will get minus 20,000 each time

 

When a value's position is incorrect, this will become the new start point for the next value to be judged against. 

 

You can abstain for 7,000 points  

 

 

[chasmmi]

Actually it seems I did better than first marked,...  At least I take solace that I was not one of the heroes to abstain for 7k, when literally picking J followed by any letter and then stopping, gets you to 10k. 😛

Ok a few people chose to not include values to each of their predictions and so sadly, their score is voided down to minus 5. We'll never know whether that was a blessing or a curse.

SOTM 7 partially scored pending scoring rubric for re-scheduled movies / ranked below 5th -

 

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1YcyYA0ncS9-m_MwLKikZ1gVxvW2KrqQtdaqLqRsSPQQ/edit?usp=sharing

 

I'm skipping over SOTM7 for now then, if this is scored on Googledocs. (I do not understand what I am looking at as it is all spreadsheet lingo. (I have to make do with doing the math in my head for each question)

 

If something got rescheduled post lock date of the SOTM, score that prediction as a voided zero. anything ranked below 5th scores minus 12k for being 5th or less. 

[chasmmi]

Actually it's 1:30am and mother will likely be inconsiderate and expect me to be up and host and stuff in the stupid early morning of like 10am or something. 

 

So I'll return to this tomorrow. Once again, sorry this is a longer reveal process than usual .

Updated. Spreadsheet is an eyesore but taking myself for example, my movie guesses are row 4, weekend 13 #1 movie is in cell B4 (Lion King), weekend 13 #2 movie is in cell C4 (Spider-Man: Far From Home). I got the 1st place film correct so I get 10 points (cell B5), likewise for 2nd place film so I get 8 points (cell C5) and since I got both right I get a 7 point bonus (cell D5). Sum of all the weekend scores are in column Z (and AA, it's the same scores I just pasted it in another column to align with player names).

 

Anyone can feel free to check my work in the spreadsheet or manually score a few to spot check some of the sums but I'm fairly sure I maintain my streak for shitting the bed

Should be 65.6m

[chasmmi]

Should be 65.6m

fixed

[chasmmi]

@BobDole has handled SOTM 7, thank you there, so onto 8 I go...

 

Choose up to 6 films. Any six films. You must choose at least 2.  

 

Your task is for their combined August gross to make as close to $150M as possible.  

Under $150M Scoring:

 

140-150M  - 90,000 points

130-140M  - 60,000 points

120-130M  - 30,000 points

 

119-120M - Minus 1,000 points, then minus another 1,000 points for every subsequent million too low.

 

Over $150M Scoring:

 

150-155M  - 60,000 points

155-165M  - 40,000 points

165-175M  - 20,000 points

 

175-176M - Minus 2,000 points, then minus another 2,000 points for every subsequent million too high.

 

Abstain for Minus 3,000 points.

No entrance into this SOTM is minus 10,000 points

 

[chasmmi]

Another great SOTM for everybody (well me at least)

Endgame	1.6
Aladdin	5.2
Hollywood	5.4
Crawl	10.98
Spider	11.78
Toy Story	18.15
Lion King	20.5
Hobbs	60.4

 

List them in order of how close they will be to the given target in dollars (Over or Under is not important). 

 

You can list as many or as few films as you like with number 1 on your list being the closest finisher and the last on your list being the furthest away.

 

For each film in the correct position:  5,000 points

If every film on your list is in the correct position and you have at least 4 films in your list: Double your score.

If every film on your list is in the correct position and you have at least 7 films in your list: Triple your score.

 

For each film in the incorrect position by one place:  Minus 3,000 points

For each film in the incorrect position by more than one place:  Minus 7,000 points

If you have at least 4 films on your list: Double the minuses (So minus 6k and minus 14k) 

If you have at least 7 films on your list:  Triple the minuses   (So minus 9k and minus 21k)

 

Deadline is the usual deadline.

and its 4am, so it is time to sleep and prepare to wake up to discover how many screw ups I made with the scoring again

[chasmmi]

Baumer Of the Month Time: ( @JJ-8 let's put this as SOTM 12 for table purposes)

 

As long as the film passes the number you choose, you get the corresponding points.  If it does not pass the number you choose, you lose the number of points in the second bracket.  

 

You can choose to go for only one....or all three.  And if you choose to abstain, you abstain from all three.   choose to abstain, you are awarded 3000 points.  

 

If you go for all three, and you are successful in all three, you get a bonus of 15,000 points.  

 

John Wick:

Less than 135 (5000) (-25,000)

135 mill (5000) (-10,000)

140 mill (8000) (-12,000)

150 mill (12,000) (-8000)

160 mill (15,000) (-5000)

 

Aladdin:

Less than 230 million (6000) (-15,000)

230 mill (6000) (-10,000)

255 mill (9000) (-12,000)

280 mill (12,000) (-12,000)

300 mill (25,000) (-5000)

 

End Game

Less than 845 (10,000) (-12,000

845 mill (10,000) (-10,000)

855 mill (15,000) (-6000)

865 mill (20,000) (-8000)

875 mill (50,000) (-5000)

 

Abstain from all three questions and you get 3000 points.
