The Summer Movie Wager is a box office game which is played each
summer. You can find the history and play along at
http://www.thesummermoviewager.com (thanks to Dennis for
maintaining the site!) The general goal of this game is to
predict the highest grossing films of the summer in terms of
domestic box office, IN THE CORRECT ORDER. The closer you get to
the final ranked order, the more points you get. This year, the
summer movie wager began on May 2, 2024 (with the release of The
Fall Guy) and lasted through September 2, 2024, Labor Day, as
usual. 

Each of your 13 picks (10 movies and 3 dark horses) gets a single
score assigned to it by using the following rules:


If your picked movie for #1 OR #10 is correct, you score 13
points for it.

If your picked movie for 2-9  is correct, you score 10
points for it.

If your picked movie is only 1 spot away from its actual
placement, you score 7 points for it.

If your picked movie is only 2 spots away from its actual
placement, you score 5 points for it.

If your picked movie is placed inside the Top 10, you score 3
points for it.

If your picked movie is not placed inside the Top 10, you
score 0 points for it.

For each of your picked dark horses placed inside the Top 10,
you score 1 point. If two or more rules apply to a single pick,
only that single rule will be applied which assigns the highest
point value to that pick. For example: If your pick for #1 is
correct, you don't get 16 points for it because it is #1 and
because it placed inside the Top 10; instead you only get 13
points for it.
