2015 Summer Movie Challenge

Every year, it's a burden to try and get everyone that wants to partake in the annual summer movie challenge to commit to being on at the same time for the auction-style bidding of movies.  To simplify things, I've switched to the point based challenge currently being used over at slashfilm.com website.

Here's how it works:

You pick what you think will be the top 10 domestic grossing movies of the summer from highest grossing to 10th highest grossing.  The trick is trying to correctly predict where every movie lands on the list.  3 wild card picks are added for incentive points.

RULES:

Getting number 1 and/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 1 spot away from where it ended up
  • 5 points if it was 2 spots away
  • 3 points if your pick is anywhere in the Top 10
  • 1 point for each wild card that makes it into the Top 10
The scoring is tabulated so that you get the SINGLE HIGHEST point value for each pick.  For example, if you get number 10 right, you don't get 13+3 points.  You only get 13 points.

The movies eligible for this challenge, in order of release, are the following:
  • Avengers: Age of Ultron
  • Hot Pursuit
  • Mad Max: Fury Road
  • Tomorrowland
  • Poltergeist
  • San Andreas
  • Spy
  • Jurassic World
  • Inside Out
  • Ted 2
  • Magic Mike XXL
  • Terminator: Genisys
  • Minions
  • Ant-Man
  • Pixels
  • Southpaw
  • Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation
