S.K.o.S. Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 (edited) Back for yet another year, it's the Summer Blockbuster Movie Pool! Below are 20 movies set to be released this summer. You need to make two lists: List 1: Choose 15 of the 20 movies and rank them from highest to lowest according to the domestic box office gross you think each movie will make through its first 4 weeks (28 days) of release. Note that you're not trying to leave out the 5 movies you think will do the worst; just leave out the 5 that you feel least confident about ranking. Also, you don't need to guess how much money they'll make - just rank them. I'll be using boxofficemojo.com as the source for how much money each movie makes. List 2: Choose 15 of the 20 movies (doesn't have to be the exact same 15 as your first list) and rank them from highest to lowest according to the rating you think each movie will have on rottentomatoes.com after it's been out for 4 weeks. Again, you're not necessarily trying to leave out the five worst movies. Scoring: Your two lists will be compared with the actual ranks of the 15 movies, and your score will be the sum of the absolute values of the differences between the rank you gave to each movie and its correct rank. LOWEST score wins. Tiebreaking: In addition to your two lists, pick any one of the twenty movies and post exactly how much money you think it'll make domestically, in dollars, in its first 28 days of release. If two or more people end up with the same number of points, the person whose dollar figure is closer to correct (on a percentage basis) will be ranked ahead of the other. If that still results in a tie, then the person who posted their entry earlier will be ranked ahead of the other. Also, if two or more movies end up tied in box office gross right down to the dollar (pretty much impossible, but just in case), or end up with the exact same rating on Rotten Tomatoes, the ranking of those two movies will be set to whatever is more favorable for each individual person. The movies: The Fall Guy (May 3) Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (May 10) IF (May 17) Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (May 24) The Garfield Movie (May 24) Bad Boys 4 (Jun 7) The Watchers (Jun 7) Inside Out 2 (Jun 14) The Bikeriders (Jun 21) A Quiet Place: Day One (Jun 28) Despicable Me 4 (Jul 3) MaXXXine (Jul 5) Twisters (Jul 19) Deadpool & Wolverine (Jul 26) Harold and the Purple Crayon (Aug 2) Trap (Aug 9) Borderlands (Aug 9) Alien: Romulus (Aug 16) The Crow (Aug 23) Blink Twice (Aug 23) Deadline: The last day you can post your lists is June 5th, 2024, but any movie that has already premiered must be left off your lists. So, for example, if you enter after May 3rd, you can't put Fall Guy on either of your lists because it'll already be in theatres. Editing lists: You may edit your lists after they're posted, but only up until the release of any movie that appears on at least one of your lists. Since time of entry is a tiebreaker, if you edit a list, make a new post stating that you've edited. "The Adjustment Bureau" rule: Movies' release dates are not set in stone. If a movie's release date gets moved past September 30, 2024, and you have it on a list, it gets removed, and you get an additional number of points equal to your average points per movie on that list, rounded to the nearest whole number. Prizes: There will be some. TBA. We start with 3 Criterion DVDs, and the top three finishers each get one selection from that list. Additional prizes will be added when or if we hit twelve, fifteen, and eighteen entrants. Good luck!

Looks like you're right, and Box Office Mojo has the wrong year on the release date, which is concerning. I'll replace it with The Watchers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsalvajeloco Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 WB and David Zaslav is making sure all these projects don't see the light of day while Sony is trying to force Kraven the Hunter on people even if he means moving the release date every three months. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Posted Wednesday at 11:51 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 11:51 AM (edited) I've entered every year since this first started back in 2008. The other person who might is RIPPA. Last year I went from last place to third to claim a prize, I never expected that comeback. Think third is my highest placement, twice I believe. As ever it's a combination of doing research and winging it. I love this annual tradition here. It's fun/frustrating seeing which films do well and the ballot busters. Box Office. 1. Deadpool & Wolverine (Jul 26). 2. Inside Out 2 (Jun 14). 3. Despicable Me 4 (Jul 3). 4. Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (May 24) 5. Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (May 10) 6. Bad Boys 4 (Jun 7). 7. A Quiet Place: Day One (Jun 28). 8. IF (May 17). 9. Alien: Romulus (Aug 16). 10. MaXXXine (Jul 5). 11. Trap (Aug 9). 12. The Bikeriders (Jun 21). 13. The Crow (Aug 23). 14. Blink Twice (Aug 23). 15.

The Natural Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago The Crow will be a Rotten Tomatoes ballot buster for us all of it turns out better than the low expectations people have for it. Looks like shit. I expect a lot of "Stick to The Crow original instead" reviews. I'll still see the reboot but not at the cinema. Only seeing it for completions sake having watched all the others.
