Saves time, and I think it would tend to work out cheaper for you since I'm in Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 On 19 August 2016 at 11:08 PM, S.K.o.S. said: You'll notice that 4th through 7th place all have 76 points, but of course, only 4th through 6th place will get prizes. The only real possible change at this point is that Jason Bourne may pull ahead of Star Trek Beyond on the box office list - and that looks like it's going to be really close. If that does happen, EVA will jump to 4th and Rippa, ivpvideos and Natural will each drop down one spot, leaving Natural in 7th. I'm getting humour in Jason Bourne and Sucide Squad as the films messing me up. Before I dropped this was my best showing. On 19 August 2016 at 11:23 PM, RIPPA said: Ooof - I feel like that would be the 2nd time Natural would get boned like that. If that happens - I feel like we should allow the 7th place person a prize (especially since we have extra) Third time. I was one place below the prizes in 2008 and once before the tiebreaker for time was introduced. Kind for you to suggest that. On 20 August 2016 at 5:25 AM, J.T. said: Hear, hear! Cheers. Thanks as ever to S.K.o.S. for running this and congratulations to the winners! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivpvideos Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Thanks as always for running this. It makes me pay attention to all the Summer movies and is a lot of fun. Appreciate it and Suicide Squad rotten tomatoes can suck it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll work on PMing people about the prizes over the long weekend. Hot damn! First at last! I gotta say, I did NOT see that coming at all when I made my picks at the start of the contest. This was probably the LEAST confident I've been in my picks since we started doing this contest... but hey, I'll take it. As always, thanks for doing this SKoS -- it's a lot of fun and a great way to liven up summer movie season. Thanks! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.K.o.S. Posted September 3, 2016 Author Share Posted September 3, 2016 Had fun running it as well. I need to say thanks too, to all the participants, and especially the people who stepped up to put up movies as prizes. I did manage to get a job recently (started work in late August) so I should be able to fund things next year. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonidas Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 I feel like I should have to jump through some hoops Heath Slater style to earn my entry into next years competition. Y'all are on ped's, I know it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say we incorporate the new tradition of crowdsourcing the prizes next year so that SKoS doesn't have to do everything himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Speaking of which - finally got to post office today so the prizes for Ross and Paco are on the way Post office claims they will arrive on Saturday. I will believe it when I see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Is it just me, or do the number one on box office and rt tend to be the same most years? The idea that maybe quality does sell is strange for summer blockbusters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 When I think about it that doesn't seem totally surprising to me. For all the attempts to make social media a corporate tool, it's made word of mouth more powerful than ever. If a film is good, or bad, you'd better believe people are going to hear about it, fast.

S.K.o.S. Posted October 21, 2016 Author Share Posted October 21, 2016 It actually looks like it only happens about half the time. 2016: Finding Dory #1 on both lists 2015: Jurassic World #1 on box office (#9 on RT), Inside Out #1 on RT (#4 on box office) 2014: Guardians of the Galaxy #1 on box office (#2 on RT), How To Train Your Dragon 2 #1 on RT (#10 on box office) 2013: Iron Man 3 #1 on box office (#4 on RT), Star Trek Into Darkness #1 on RT (#6 on box office) 2012: Avengers #1 on both lists 2011: Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows #1 on both lists 2010: Toy Story 3 #1 on both lists 2009: I don't have the spreadsheet, but Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen would've been #1 on the box office list and was definitely not #1 on RT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 4 times both, plus one where #2 rt topped box office. That's pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
