SOTM 10 Scoring:

 

Between this weekend and LD weekend, there are 10 new wide releases coming out.  Your SOTM question is two fold.

 

Your choices are:

 

Of the ten films, what will have the best OW (this will include any 5 day openings).

Of the ten films, what will have the best total?

 

Points:

 

Get any question right, get 12,000 points

Get any question wrong, lose 24,000 points

Choose to go for both, and of course you have to get both right: 25,000 points....get even one wrong, lose 50,000 points.

Abstain:  3000

 

The Answer for both is Butler

The Wolverine $1,700,000 -32% 988 -461 $1,721 $127,808,882 

 

 

What does that mean?  

[Olive]

What does that mean?  

I'm safe in SOTM 11.

[Dementeleus]

Not that it matters a lick, but I think once we get WW actuals on PACIFIC RIM I'll get 2,500 points (for being within a hundred million).

[Shawn Robbins]

I'm going to get screwed by Wolvy. Ugh.

[baumer]

I'm scoring SOTM 10....this is where a lot of us lose 30K.

[baumer]

SOTM 11:

 

 

Of the four wide releases on July 19 weekend, which will hit $100 million domestically by the end of the game?

 

A) The Conjuring 134 Mill

 Turbo  80 Mill

C) Red 2:  52.2

D) R.I.P.D.:  33.1

 

The devious scoring consists of 5 choices.

 

Option 1) If you answer 1 movie and it is the only movie to reach $100m, you'll receive 2,500 points. -5,000 points if wrong.

Option 2) If you answer 2 movies and they are the only movies to reach $100m, you'll receive 10,000 points. -10,000 points if wrong.

Option 3) If you answer 3 movies and they are the only movies to reach $100m, you'll receive 20,000 points. -5,000 points if wrong.

Option 4) If you answer all 4 movies will reach $100m, you'll receive 40,000 points. -20,000 if wrong.

Option 5) If you answer NONE of these movies will reach $100m, you'll receive 25,000 points. -30,000 if wrong.

 

You must choose the exact movies. For example: you cannot say "1 movie will make $100 million"--you must state exactly which movie(s) you are predicting for.

 

This is a mandatory question. No abstaining. If you don't answer, you lose 20,000 points. If you do not specify which movie(s) you are predicting to reach $100m, you lose 20,000 points. If you say that you're abstaining, you will still lose 20,000 points!

 

BONUS (this part is not mandatory): Here's where things get interesting. Predict the domestic gross (through the end of the game) for each movie you think WILL NOT reach $100 million by end-of-game. For each movie:

 

- If you are within 10% of the gross, you'll receive 2,000 points

- If you are within 5% of the gross, you'll receive 5,000 points

- If you are within 1% of the gross, you'll receive 25,000 points

 

For the bonus, you can only predict grosses for films which you previously answered as not reaching $100m. For example: if for the main part of this SOTM you say that R.I.P.D. and Turbo will be the only two films to reach $100m, then for the bonus you may only predict grosses and be awarded for Red 2 and/or The Conjuring.

 

If you previously answered Option 4, you are not eligible to answer the bonus. You will, however, be given a flat bonus point total of 40,000 points ***if*** (and only if) all 4 films gross at least $95 million. In other words, you can answer Option 4 above and get it wrong but still be able to get points via the bonus.

 

 

Conjuring is the only one to make it...here are the grosses: 

A) The Conjuring 134 Mill

 Turbo  80 Mill

C) Red 2:  52.2

D) R.I.P.D.:  33.1

 

Olive:  -30,000

[Dementeleus]

You're going to beat me.

[baumer]

THESE ARE THE STANDINGS. ALL THAT IS LEFT TO SCORE IS ONE SOTM, THE TOP 15 DOMESTIC AND GROSS AND THE GROSS FOR INTERNATIONAL.  

 

The rest is done.  This is going to come down to the last question.  I'm very excited to score this.  Great battle for first.  Anyone within about 100,000 has a chance at first.  I'm hoping for a top ten finish and congrats to LAguy for moving up huge!

[kitik]

I think kitik has the biggest chance to win.

 

Wolverine is going to stick his claws in me.

 

Snikt!

[TylerDurden365]

Ugh.  All year hanging around the top 5 and then I get knee capped at the end.  Oh well, such is the way these things go I suppose.

[Sam]

B, I think you confuse the numbering of SOTM. SOTM12 is the one with Butler as answer for both. SOTM10 is where the Conjuring pass 100M.We can't score SOTM11 yet. That's the one with the percentage closest to totals.

Well, whatever the number, the scoring is correct.

Yeah, just let you know in case it confuses others.Thanks for doing all the scores, B.
