The Box Office Game/Contest & Discussion Thread

[Blu Titan]

Introducing “The Box Office Game”.

There will be two parts to this thread:

1. The Box Office Game (rules below).
2. Weekly Box Office Discussions.


The rules and the standings of the participants will be in post #1. In post #2 some pics of the main film challengers for the upcoming weekend and theaters counts for each. The thread will be ongoing and constantly updated.


Rules: contestants are asked to place the top five box office movies for the upcoming weekend (less than five can be placed, but the opportunity to earn additional points will be forfeit). When placing your #1 favorite to take the box office crown, include a dollar estimate for the first three films in your top five list to be used as a tie-breaker. After each weekend there will be a Box Office Game winner. Once you win a weekend, your name will be permanently shown in post #1 with the week of your win. Points will be awarded as follows: 5 points for guessing the first place movie, 3 points for guessing #’s 2-3, 2 points for guessing #4, and 1 point for guessing #5. If two or more people are tied in points, then the closest dollar prediction for the #1 movie wins, if there's still a tie, we move to the total weekend dollar prediction for film #2, and so on for #3.All estimates must be placed before 10 PM EST on Friday night. Note: a post is edited after the deadline will be disqualified . Suggestions are appreciated (via PM).
