The Summer Movie Wager was created by the awesome guys over at
The Filmcast. We've copied their format and would appreciate it
if you sent them love by listening to their episode. You can find
the history of the game and play along at
thesummermoviewager.com. The goal 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 will begin on May 1, 2025, and last through September
1, 2025, 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 that 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.
