2018 Summer Movie Contest

Tyler · Postby **Tyler** » Thu Apr 19, 2018 2:31 pm

Per BoxOfficeMojo.com: The Summer Season is defined as the first Friday in May through Labor Day Weekend.
Use the following link to pick the 10 movies that open during 5/4 - 9/3 that you feel will make the most money*

TIP: Avengers Infinity War falls OUTSIDE of this window since the release date was changed from May to April.

https://www.movieinsider.com/movies/may/2018

*Clarification from last year. This contest will not end on Labor Day, but rather a few months after. Meaning a movie that opens in September will have its entire run to make money.

Scoring:
Getting number 1 or number 10 dead-on gets you 13 points (each).
10 points for numbers 2-9 dead-on
7 points if you picked only one spot away from where it ended up
5 points if it was two spots away
3 points if your pick is anywhere in the Top 10

I need your picks by the end of the month!

I was going to post scores, but Crazy Rich Asians has potential to go up another 2-3 spots over the next 2 weeks.

Did anyone have that in their top 10?

No one, but when it moves up it will adjust everyone's scores for the bottom half of the board. For example, I'm currently at a 10pt score for Ocean's 8 but that will change to 7 when CRA moves up

CRA is going to gain another spot this weekend, I don't see it going any higher than that. I'll announce winners next Tuesday.

Congrats Tutts. CRA might move up a spot in the next 2 weeks, but you will be the winner regardless. I would have to check, but 70 might be our highest score to date.

Yep, it is by far (but I got 74 in a work pool once!)

2013 Winner - bbous13 with 50pts
2014 Winner - Huss Buss with 55pts
2015 Winner - Wags83 with 52pts
2016 Winner- bmyoungs with 42pts
2017 Winner - bmyoungs with 61pts
2018 Winner - Tutts with 70pts

Sucks that we have a 50 post requirement before I can award someone a physical prize...

Oh man, I forgot about that bi-law.
I believe it says "If the winner does not have 50 or more total posts, the prize shall be given to the last place contestant."
