laguy03 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 (edited) This thread will be used to track everyone's predictions from baumer's Summer game. This thread will be updated at least once a week. Please note that I will be posting everyone's predictions along with the CURRENT GROSS of the movies (not the projected gross). And just as I've done the last few years, I have organized the list in order of the dates the movies are released. I welcome everyone's feedback and suggestions! HERE WE GO!

The Dark Alfred Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Damn, Dexter's prediction is epic and probably he'll end up in the red zone as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyItsMoses Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Loving this!By the end of this weekend, Gopher, Totem, and Narniadis should be Blue. I think everyone really underestimated The Avengers, and the only person who might actually get points will be Dexter of Suburbia! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neo Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Wow, Dex might pull if some points, but the rest are losing 40 points. We are off to a bad start. On to round 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AASixteen16 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 (edited) DAMN, really low-balled Avengers. Edited May 8, 2012 by Sixteen16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Alfred Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Yea, but we'll be losing 1000 by every 20m we miss, so plenty of minus scores on board for a lot of people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BK007 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Fuck, looks like Dark Shadows is headed for sub-85m.Jeez, I even thought it looked like crap and would struggle for $100m...and then I put I think $140m or something stupid just to hop on the bandwagon of it doing well. (the higher gross just for risk-taking's sake) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
townzy89 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Damn, Dexter's prediction is epic and probably he'll end up in the red zone as well. Do you think it will get 3x multi? I hope so but I see im2 multi at this stage.I'm surprised I am so high on the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kayumanggi Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Baumer added this one: "For even more of an accuracy bonus, if you can call any film within 5 million of the actual gross, you will receive a bonus of 20,000. If you can call the gross within 2 million, you get a bonus of 25,000." I think these need to be added. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your off by 100m you loose 8k points hardly that much considering you loose that on some sotm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will probably add that later on, he did last year. but he also said he had less time this year so it would be the "light" version of the thread this year.

But keep in mind, you never have to go with the risky answers for SOTM questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
