for the game come from TimeTravelReview’s Summer Movie Pool:
The object is to pick the films that you think will be the top-ten
grossing films of the summer, in order of box-office performance.
As I’ve said, that means only films released from May 1st 2016 to
the Labor Day weekend, counting only the money those films make
domestically (US and Canada) in that period. In other words films
from March or April might still be making money after May 1st, but
they don’t count; films released from May on could start racking up
foreign B.O., but that doesn’t count; films released from May on
could still be making money into September, but that doesn’t count
either. Box Office numbers are generally available late Monday or
Tuesday after the weekend closes. For the last seven or so years, I
have been using box office numbers from Yahoo Box Office which gets
their numbers in turn from Box Office Mojo. So what you will be
doing is figuring out what 10 films will make the most money, and
putting them in order of what you think they will gross at the box
office. BUT, in addition to your top 10, you get to pick 3 “Dark
Horses”- films you think *might* make it, but that you are not
confident enough about to put into the top 10 proper.   2017
Summer Movie Wager Scoring: Getting number 1 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 one spot away from where it ended up 5 points if it was
two spots away 3 points if your pick is anywhere in the Top 10 1
point for each dark horse that makes it into the Top 10 The scoring
is tabulated so that you get the SINGLE HIGHEST point value for
each pick- that is, if you get number ten right, you
don’t get 13+3, you only get 13. This year your can play along with
us by submitting your list on thesummermoviewager.com. Anyone
who submits their list by Friday will be counted in the updated
scoreboard. Peter Sciretta’s List: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
