How it Works

Players will predict how a movie will perform on popular film review sites RottenTomatoes.com, IMDB.com and BoxOfficeMojo.com after it's opening weekend (*US Domestic sales.)
The Player with the lowest cumulative score will win.

 

Goal of the contest

1) Predict the Rotten Tomatoes (Critic/Audience) score of the movie

2) Predict the International Movie Database rating of the movie

3) Predict Opening weekend Box Office Mojo Sales of the movie (*US Domestic Sales)

4) Your goal is to get as close to 0 as possible, difference between your prediction and actual result

5) Closests to 0 wins!

 

It is that simple!

Examples

1)  Your Rotten Tomatoes score (RTAudience) will be the differential between your prediction and the Rotten Tomatoes Audience* score listed on RottenTomatoes.com

RTAudience Ex: If you predict 90% out of 100 and it ranks 95%, your RT score = 5.

2) Your IMDB score will be the differential between your prediction and the actual IMDB rating listed on IMDB.com

IMDB Ex: If you predict 8.5 out of 10 and it ranks 9.2, your IMDB score = 7.

3)  Your BOM score will be the differential between your prediction and the actual Box Office Mojo weekend gross sales listed on BoxOfficeMojo.com

BOM Ex: If you predict the weekend gross to be 100.5 million dollars in its opening weekend and the weekend gross is 150 million, your BOM score = 40.5.

 

Player Score = RTAudience + IMDB + BOM


Example of player score using data above: RTAudience (5) + IMDB (7) + BOM (40.5) = 52.5
