BSG KITIK WINS!!

[baumer]

The first post is updated. The preseason questions are done.I strongly suggest you read them and if you have any questions, please let me know. For those of you who have never played, there are some difficult questions. There are some dangerous questions. You can rewarded for bravery in this game, but there is also a very fine line between bravery and stupidity. Please read the last two questions very carefully.Here is the thread. This is the same piece that is on the first page.HERE WE GO!!WELCOME TO THE OFFICIAL BAUMER'S SUMMER GAME 2013! This is the 6th Annual Summer Game:There are some changes this year, so please pay attention....starting with the start date of the game.THE GAME:Hello fellow BOF'ers. Welcome the SIXTH annual BAUMER'S SUMMER GAME. Last year we had more than 70 players register and about 55 consistent players in the games. The second year we had about 70 and the first year there was about 35.This is a four month game that begins this year on FRIDAY APRIL 26TH with the release of PAIN AND GAIN and culminates on Monday September the 2ND. This means the last weekend of the game will be Labour Day weekend and the grosses will count up to and including Monday the 2NDd.PLEASE REMEMBER THAT GROSSES FOR ALL FILMS WILL ONLY COUNT UP UNTIL MONDAY SEPTEMBER 2ND.This year we will be predicting the top 15 films of the summer. These predictions are due by FRIDAY APRIL 26TH at midnight Box Office Time. You will post your predictions in this thread. There are no pm's. Everyone'S predictions are here for everyone to see. Nothing to hide. What this means is that if you are influenced by others and you want to copy what they think, that is up to you. But this game is won or lost over many different elements. Every element is important. If you target one player and copy their top 15 and they have a few bad calls, you will do the same. My advice to everyone is to be yourself. You have a month to analyze the films coming out this summer. Use that month to read up on and study the films slated for release this summer. It's a lot of work, no doubt. But the fun of the game is your reward.Another piece of advice i can give is to read Shawn's 2013 preview which I'm sure will be out sometime soon.This year, I have decided that we will be doing a lot more to challenge your box office acumen. I think you will be pleased with some of the changes. I had a thread open where you could make suggestions for the game. I have taken heed of some of those suggestions. But first, onto what we already know.The second and biggest part of the game is that every week I put up "bonus questions" that are worth 15,000 points every week. There will also be bonus points each week rewarded for several different accuracy measures. You will experience this as the game goes on. There are several weeks with bigger releases that the points available could total up to 50,000 points or more. I decide if the week will be worth 15,000 points, 50,000 points or anywhere in between.There will also be SOTM (SPUR OF THE MOMENT QUESTIONS) asked every once in a while. These literally are spur of the moment questions. I don't have a set amount as to how many there will be, but they will be worth no more than 10,000 points each. Again, there will be some stipulations, and very few mind you, where some special ones may go as high as 15,000. To make this fair and transparent, I'll promise that this year, no more than FIVE SOTM QUESTIONS WILL BE WORTH 15,000. The rest will stay at 10,000. The SOTM questions can change the balance of the game, no doubt, but they are also a staple of this game and although they create some controversy, they will remain. The reason for this is that I like them.A typical looking SOTM scoring scheme will look like this:Tell me, will The Man of Steel have a second Friday of more than 15 mill?10,000 if you get it right.-5000 if you get it wrong.2000 if you choose not to answer the question (abstain).Here's how the game will work. AND PLEASE READ VERY VERY CAREFULLY. And if you have any questions, ask me because once the game starts, you must abide by STRICT deadlines. If you miss a deadline on any question, you absolutely, unequivocally will not qualify for that question. So if i ask that a SOTM question be answered by 4pm on July 6th, and your answer is submitted or edited after that time, you will be disqualified from that question. I will rule on this without passion or prejudice. IT WILL BE STRICT. I hope everyone understands this. To be even more clear, THIS YEAR, I WILL FOLLOW THE DEADLINES TO A FAULT. I FEEL THAT THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO BE ABSOLUTELY FAIR WITH EVERYONE. CONSIDER THE DEADLINE TO BE JUST LIKE A TIMER ON A COMPUTER. WHEN IT RUNS OUT, YOUR TIME RUNS OUT.....JUST LIKE THE DERBY BACK IN THE DAY. I CAN'T STRESS THIS ENOUGH GUYS. THIS YEAR, IT WILL BE STRICT.To qualify for the prizes, you have to be in this game from the beginning. You must have your predictions in before Friday April 26th at midnight Box Office Time.If you are in a different time zone, it is your responsibility to figure out the conversion.NOW PAY ATTENTION HERE: Here is the game structure and all that is involved. For those of you who have played before, you will notice some significant changes. As I mentioned, I am taking some of your suggestions and incorporating it into the game.This year, you have to predict the top 15 films of the summer instead of the top 12. That means you have to tell me, in order, what the top 15 films, by gross, will be for the summer.For example, if you think Grown Ups 2 will finish 1st with 450 million dollars, you would put that 1st. If you think The Heat finishes 2nd with 400 mill you put that and so on.Here is an example of what your top 12 would have to look like:1) White House Down: 485 mill2) Monster's University: 420 mill3) Despicablew Me 2: 215 mill4) The Lone Ranger: 199.9 mill5) Iron Man 3: 185 mill6) Pacific Rim: 165 mill7) The Heat: 164 mill8) Red 2: 160 mill9) Grown Ups 2: 13710) Turbo: 12511) Man of Steel: 12512) RIPD: 11513) Wolverine: 11414) The Conjuring: 11015) Blue Jasmine 95This is just a sample of what you need to do. Tell me, in order with the gross, what films will finish top 15 for the summer.POINT SYSTEM: The point system will be very similar to last year, but with a few changes. You will rewarded even more for accuracy. This is something you asked for. I listened.For every film you call correctly in the top 15, in any order, you will get 15,000 points. For every film you call in the exact spot, you will get 25,000 points (total). So you must think this out thoroughly. You will also lose 10,000 points for every film in the top 15 that you call incorrectly. So, for example, if say Pain and Gain will be in the top 15, and it misses the top 15, you will lose 10,000 points (PLUS whatever you miss the gross by).And one more caveat to this is the double whammy rule. If you call a film to hit the top 15 and it misses, you will lose points for missing the top 15 and you will lose points if the gross misses by more than the 40 million allotted to you. If however you call a film incorrectly in the top 15 but you are within the 40 million, YOU WILL NOT GET CREDIT FOR THOSE POINTS. This is a rule that was finally enforced last year and it will stay going forward.Back to the scoring.If you are able to call the top three positions right, in order, regardless of the gross, you will get a 75,000 point bonus.If you are able to call the top four positions right, in order, regardless of the gross, you will get a 100,000 point bonus.If you can call the top five positions right, in order, regardless of gross, you will get a 250,000 point bonus.If you are a genius and can call 10 right, in order, regardless of gross, you will get a 750,000 point bonus and basically win the game.If you can call 12 right in order, you get a million bonus points. This is impossible so don't worry.As a side note, in the Five previous years in this game, no one has called the top five correct yet.OTHER ADD ONS:Call SPOTS 3-5 correct, regardless of order, and receive a 150,000 point bonus.Call 6-7 correct, regardless of order and get a 200,000 point bonusCall 8-11 of the 15 films correctly, regardless of the order, and receive a 250,000 point bonus.Call 12 of the top 15 correct, regardless of order, receive a 300,000 point bonus.If you can call 13-14 films correct, regardless of the order and you will receive a 400,000 point bonus.Call all 15 correct, regardless of order, and you get a 750,000 point bonus.This does not eliminate the bonus points originally mentioned, it will just add to them.Keep in mind, this game was born from calling the summer films accurately. This is why there is such a premium put on your preseason predictions.So even if you are not doing so well with the bonus points, a huuuuuuge premium is put on calling the films in the right order, so do your research.For the gross that you predict, for every film that you call within 20 mill, you will get 10,000 points. If you call it within 30 mill, you get 5000 bonus points. If you miss the films gross by 30.01-40 mill you will not lose any points. From 40.01 to 60 mill you lose 5000 points. For every 20 mill you miss after the first 60 mill, you will lose 1000 points per 20 mill. Even if you miss the gross by 61 mill, that extra 1 mill will cause you to lose a full 1000 points.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.Predicting the top 15 and their gross is very, very difficult, especially since you have to have this in before April 26th. ONCE YOUR PREDICTIONS ARE IN, YOU CANNOT CHANGE THEM AFTER April 26th. You can change them right up until I lock the thread.By popular demand and because we have a huge contingent of international players, I'm going to have an international flavour to game also.To add some flair, here is how it will work.International Flair #1:Tell me what the WW top 10 (changed it from 5 from last year....international numbers are now more important than ever) of the summer will be. The point structure will be as follows:Every film you call in the top 10 correct, you get 10,000 points. If you call the top 3 spots in order, you get a bonus of 50,000. If you can call 5 in order you will get a 100,000 point bonus. If you can call between 6-8 in order, a bonus of 150,000 and between 9-10 will get you a bonus of 200,000.Call the gross correct within 50 mill: 10,000 pointsCall the gross within 50.1 mill to 75 mill 5000 ptsCall the gros within 75.1 to 100 mill 2500 pts.Miss the WW gross by more than 150 mill and you lose 10,000 points. I am giving you a buffer this year of 75 mill. It was different last year.If you call a film in the top 5 that doesn't appear in the top WW top 5, you will lose 10,000 points.International Flair #2:What five films will have the best weekends World Wide? I realize some films open day and date, and others do not. This is why it is now just best weekend.For every film in the top 5 you call correctly, you get 25,000 points.For every film you call incorrectly, you lose 10,000 points.If you call 3 of the top 5 correctly, regardless of order, you get a 20,000 point bonus.If you call all 5 correctly, regardless of order, you get a 75,000 point bonusPLEASE READ CAREFULLY:Tell me what films will finish with the 7 best opening weekends domestically. Opening weekends will include any films gross that starts at midnight on Thursday (so this can include a Thursday opening if applicable) and culminates with the Sunday gross. One caveat to this is that if a film changes it's release date, only the gross from Thursday to Sunday will count. So for example, if Iron Man 3 suddenly decides that it wants to open on a Wednesday, only the gross from Thursday to Sunday will count. There will be no exceptions to this.Scoring for best opening weekends:For every film you call correctly in the top seven, regardless of order, you will receive 10,000 points. For every film you call in the exact spot it opens, you will get 15,000 points. If you are able to call 5 of the 7 correctly, you will receive a 75,000 point bonus. Call all seven correctly, you get a 150,000 point bonus. For every film you call incorrectly in the top 7, you lose 7,000 points.And finally, because it was suggested, I am going to have a 5 lowest grossing films of the summer bonus.You pick the 5 lowest grossing films of the summer. You can only choose films that are listed on boxofficemojo as WIDE. So for a film to qualify for the bottom 5 grossing films of the summer, please make sure that it is listed as wide as of April 26th. Once that date has passed, I will then list all films here that are listed as wide.For every film that makes the bottom 5 that you call correctly, you will receive 10,000.If you can call 3 of 5 right, you get a 50,000 bonus. If you call 4 or 5 right, you get a 100,000 point bonus. There are no deduction of points for wrong answers. This is 100% bonus for you.I had a blast running this last year and it will be just as much fun this year. I hope all of you participate. The three winners last year were incredibly accurate and I expect nothing less this year.This thread will be the thread where the summer game discussion will take place up until the opening of the game. After April 26th, I will lock this.. Once the game starts, there will be a whole new forum opened where we will post our weekly answers and so on. More on this later as the information becomes available.One final thing:I score this game by myself. There is no magic program to determine points, so sometimes points might not be done right on time. I work two jobs and am busy with life, so sometimes you will have to be patient with me while i score the game. I do have some help this year with excel programs and so on so it should be much more accurate. If you have a discrepancy with scoring please pm me, be nice and don't post it in the thread.  Thanks.PRIZES: ALL IN CANADIAN CURRENCY (the payout of cash or certificate will be your choice)1ST PLACE: $50.00, PAID IN CASH OR A CINEPLEX GIFT CERTIFICATE2ND PLACE: $30.00, PAID IN CASH OR A CINEPLEX GIFT CERTIFICATE3RD PLACE: $20.00, PAID IN CASH OR A CINEPLEX GIFT CERTIFICATEYou have almost 5 weeks to do your research, post your top 15 and get ready for a lot of fun this summer!!LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!HERE ARE YOUR FIRST PRE SEASON BONUS QUESTIONS THAT MUST BE ANSWERED BEFORE MIDNIGHT APRIL 26THTHESE WILL BE WORTH A TOTAL OF 10,000 POSSIBLE POINTS.10,000 IF CORRECT-5000 IF INCORRECT3000 FOR TELLING ME THAT YOU ARE ABSTAININGTell me, of these five films, which one will be the lowest grossing of the summer.

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?2) Will IM3 make more than 500 million internationally?3) Will IM3 do at least 25 million for midnights (including Thurs)?4)) Will IM3 make at least 880 million WW?Scoring: All questions you answer correctly are worth 7000 points.

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?Will any film listed as a horror OR thriller film by boxofficemojo.com open to more than 40 mill?C) Will any film listed as a horror OR thriller film by boxofficemojo.com have a second weekend drop of less than 47%?D) Will any film listed as a horror OR thriller film by boxofficemojo.com have an opening day of more than 18 mill?Get any question right: 7000Get any question wrong: -7000Abstain from all four questions: 5000Go for all four, and get all four correct not only will you get the 28,000, you get a bonus of 28,000.

[The Stingray]

It would be nice to beat Fake, for a number of reasons.

[baumer]

Fake is a box office genius.  It's hard to beat him at anything box office related.

This is a four parter:1) Will IM3 make at least 360 million domestically?2) Will IM3 make more than 500 million internationally?3) Will IM3 do at least 25 million for midnights (including Thurs)?4)) Will IM3 make at least 880 billion WW?

Well at least part 4 of this question is 7000 points in the bag.I'm gonna guess no. No it won't Edited April 7, 2013 by chasmmi

lol..... still at it? Let's settle that LOP issue once and for all...... WAS YOUR CLUB INITIALLY '200M DOM AND 500M WW' OR NOT? AND DID YOU EDIT IT TO '500M WW' AT A LATER POINT OF TIME OR NOT? And don't try to circle around it again. Give your answer and explanation here for everyone to see.If you read your thread again, I was among the first to congratulate you for your WW call. But then you had to change the title so that you could look like some kind of box office prophet.And I begrudge your success??..... gimme a break. What success? Are you talking about your failed thread which you edited 1 month after the movie's release to make it a 'flawless victory'?And I want to see your downfall???..... who are you again? You are not even worthy enough for me to wanting your downfall. I didn't even notice you till you cheated in your club and called me a hater.

The title of my thread was always "over 500m WW". Always. Never changed once. That other thing was a sidebar, which turned out to be incorrect on my part.

 

And simmer down man. I was only joking with that downfall stuff. I got nothing against you.

You still won't accept it, will you? God has gifted me a wonderful memory and I distinctly recall 'Life of Pi over 200m Domestic and 500m worldwide club'. And if you read the first few replies of this thread, it is not hard to figure it out that it was indeed so.http://forums.boxoffice.com/index.php?/topic/6026-life-of-pi-over-500m-worldwide-club-flawless-victory-at-576m/200m domestic was definitely not a sidebar. In fact, given that I don't see you much in international forums, it might be that the '500m worldwide' was a sidebar.Then the thread goes cold..... and then out of the black, 3 months later, the club is somehow 'over 500m worldwide club : Flawless victory'.http://forums.boxoffice.com/index.php?/topic/6026-life-of-pi-over-500m-worldwide-club-flawless-victory-at-576m/page-3Even a blind person can put together what happened there.So I will ask you again. And know that accepting it will not diminish you in any way, and we can move on as friends. But if you are still adamant, then fine, I will put you on ignore and you put me on ignore, but for God's sake, don't post things like I am jealous of you or something.

I have never played this game before and it looks very intimidating but I am gonna give it a shot this year.
