Hello Ladies and Gents, The "2014 Summer Movie Wager" is about to kick off, I want to get my picks in before the Amazing Spider-Man 2 comes out since for most folks that is the official kick off of the Summer Movie season.
But before I do that, Let me give you some info on the SMW.
If you are not aware of it we have some rules we will go over but also let you know it runs from the first week of May until August 29th, typically people will not pick anything from the final week of release.
You never know what will happen either, a few years back I had GI Joe 2 on my list only to have it pushed back after i posted my list, so I completely missed out on points with that pick.
Several years back one of my favorite shows ever(The Totally Rad Show) introduced me to this little game and they gave credit to Time Travel Reviews so I shall do the same(link posted below).
The rules are as follows:
You pick the top 10 movies released between May and August, Counting only the money the films make domestically( US & Canada) Number 1 is the film you believe will make the most money during that time period and so on down the list.
You will also have 3 more "Dark Horses" films you can pick that you THINK might slip into the top 10, But don't have total faith in them.
The Scoring:
• Getting number 1 or number 10 dead-on gets you 13 points (each).
The rest of the scoring goes like this:
• 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.
Once September 1 hits, We will make the official post/winner of the Summer Movie Wager. Of course we can always check in each week to see how people are doing on the Wager as well, but since not all films come out at the same time, it might be unfair to crown someone before its all said and done.
Of course you post your movies and can not edit them after you have submitted them, Please feel free to post your picks in the comment section here or on 2 Sense.
Thanks to:
