Yes

 

PLAYERS:

 

There may be more preseason bonus questions added before the start of the game. It is doubtful, but I hold the right to add a question if it seems right.

 

Bonus Question of all Bonus Questions:

 

This is a four parter:

 

1) Will IM3 make at least 360 million domestically? Yes

2) Will IM3 make more than 500 million internationally? Yes

3) Will IM3 do at least 25 million for midnights (including Thurs)? Abstain

4)) Will IM3 make at least 880 million WW? Yes

 

Scoring: All questions you answer correctly are worth 7000 points. You can go for as many as you like.

 

Here is the catch: Every answer you call incorrectly you lose 10,000 points.

 

There are no points for abstaining, with one caveat down below. ***

 

Even more bonus and more treachery:

 

If you go 4/4 you get a 28,000 point bonus. So this means you will get a total of 56,000 points for this question (7000X4 plus 28,000 point bonus)

 

However, if you go for all 4 you must get all four correct. If you get even one incorrect, you will lose 15,000 points. So what this means is, if you go for all four and even if you get 3/4 correct, not only will you NOT get the 11,000 but you will lose a full 15,000 points.

 

This question is worth a lot of points for those ballsy enough to go for all 4, but it will kick your ass if you get too cocky. PLEASE READ THIS ONE CAREFULLY AND UNDERSTAND IT FULLY. IF YOU DO NOT, THEN ASK ME. ONCE THE GAME STARTS, CLAIMING YOU DIDN'T READ IT RIGHT WILL NOT BE AN EXCUSE.

 

THE BOTTOM LINE IS IF YOU GO FOR ALL FOUR QUESTIONS, YOU ABSOLUTELY MUST GET ALL FOUR RIGHT IN ORDER TO GET POINTS.

 

Remember, you don't have to answer any of them. Or you can answer as little as you want. It's totally up to you.

 

You can choose to go for as many or as little as you want.

 

***CAVEAT***

 

If you choose to abstain from all 4, you will get 5000 for doing so.

You must tell me if you are abstaining.

 

NEW QUESTION:

 

This is a four part question. Again, you have choices.

Answer any part of the question. Each answer you get correct you will receive 7000 points. Each answer you get wrong, you will lose 7000 points. If you go for all four parts of the question, you must get all four parts correct. If you get even one wrong after going for it all, you will lose 7,000 points. You can go for all of it, none of it and some of it. Choice is yours.

 

17)

 

A) Will any film listed as a horror OR thriller film by boxofficemojo.com gross more than 150 million dollars this summer? No

Will any film listed as a horror OR thriller film by boxofficemojo.com open to more than 40 mill? No

C) Will any film listed as a horror OR thriller film by boxofficemojo.com have a second weekend drop of less than 47%? Abstain

D) Will any film listed as a horror OR thriller film by boxofficemojo.com have an opening day of more than 18 mill? No

 

Get any question right: 7000

Get any question wrong: -7000

Abstain from all four questions: 5000

Go for all four, and get all four correct not only will you get the 28,000, you get a bonus of 28,000. But you must go for all four to qualify for the bonus

Guys, it's a very busy time right now. I'm sorry for the delay. I will have all your questions answered, the preseason up and everything else, done as soon as I can.

So... I do have a question that has been on my mind for some time.

 

For the domestic prediction, it's only for the movies that come out in summer (or between 2nd May and 2nd September...), but If I predict that Wolverine (which opens a week before 2nd September) will gross 200M, but by the end of the game (2nd September) it has 150M grossed, and the final gross (mid December) will be 200M, the gross that will be counted officially is 150M which means I didn't guess right...

 

So, basically it's: Predict the highest grossing movies by the 2nd of September. Only Summer releases count.
