MMC 2017 Summer Movie Wager (Updated)

5/8/2017

The MMC's trying out a new game, and you can, too!  We're predicting the top ten highest-grossing movies of the summer (plus three wild cards), with the winner to get a to-be-determined prize or maybe force a to-be-determined penalty on the losers.  We'll figure it out.

The rules apply for movies released between May 5 and Labor Day Weekend.  Using Box Office Mojo, we'll revisit how everyone did in September.  We've got 7 MMC'ers pitting their forecasting skills against each other.  The points system, pulled from Slash Film, is as follows:

  • Getting number 1 or number 10 dead-on gets you 13 points (each).
  • 10 points for numbers 2-9 dead-on
  • 7 points if your pick was 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
  • 1 point for each dark horse that makes it into the Top 10
The scoring is tabulated so that you get the SINGLE HIGHEST point value for each pick- that is, if you get number ten right, you don’t get 13+3, you only get 13.
