Movies

for those interested, new contest (per DMac's approval). revised details and rules listed inside. please read everything before posting...

Posted by: lobogotti on Aug 09, 04:39

This contest requires a bit of thought, so please read carefully and ask questions if you don't understand before you post your guess.

1. Put down in order from largest to smallest the delist of all films opening this week.  Here are the films that open: THELP 8/10, FDES5 8/12, 30MOL 8/12, GLELV 8/12

2. Make sure the stock symbol and delist numbers are inside the Additional Message portion of the post.  Here is an example of how it should look (again, put the guess INSIDE THE POST so it is not visible to the public for Quick Reply):

THELP 300.66, GLELV 250.45, 30MOL 234.56, FDES5 123.12

So in the above scenario I am predicting that The Help would do the best and make 300.66M by delist, Glee Live 3D would come in 2nd delisting at 250.45M, 30 Minutes or Less would be 3rd with 234.56M and Final Destination 5 last delisting at 123.12M.

In the Quick Reply portion just put the words: my guess

DO NOT PLACE ANT STOCK SYMBOL OR DELIST NUMBERS IN THE QUICK REPLY PORTION

3. In order to be eligible to win you must first at least have the order of how the films will cash out correctly.  For those that make it that far I will come up with a point system that awards more points for each film the closer you are to the actual delist price.  Best overall points will win the top prize.

4. Only one entry/guess per person, anyone is eligible (besides me).  Please keep it honest and only make an entry with the main port you post off of.  It does not matter where your location is.

5. Your entry has to be posted by Wednesday August 10th, 12pm EST.  Any post after that date/time is ineligible.

6. The quicker you post your prediction the better as any duplicate overall guess would be disqualified.

7. Should there be a tie or ties then the prize will be increased and split accordingly.


Currently the prize is as follows:

$30 AMC Gift Card and $25 Gift Card of Your Choice

I know this contest is not near as easy as the last one, but if we have the same amount of participants as last time (134) I will double the prizes.

Winner(s) will be determined the evening of September 6th, after the films have delisted.  The actual box office cannot be used to round further than .00 decimals.  The winner scores are determined from the actual delist price that HSX uses.

Thanks for playing and good luck to you all.

P.S.  I will take feedback on these contests for future improvements and suggestions here: bandit@boxofficebandit.com.  I read some of your comments last night and agree, I will try to keep the posts about the contest minimal, as to not take away from the movie board.  I will also pick and choose contest wisely.
