for those interested, New Contest. Details and Rules listed inside....(submissions for the contest are now open, post away)

Posted by: lobogotti on Aug 08, 17:32

This contest requires a bit of thought, so please read carefully and ask questions if you don't understand before you post your guess.

1. Put down in order from largest to smallest the delist of all films opening this week. Here are the films that open: THELP 8/10, FDES5 8/12, 30MOL 8/12, GLELV 8/12

2. Make sure the stock symbol and delist numbers are in the Quick Reply portion of the post. Here is an example of how it should look:

THELP 300.66, GLELV 250.45, 30MOL 234.56, FDES5 123.12

So in the above scenario I am predicting that The Help would do the best and make 300.66M by delist, Glee Live 3D would come in 2nd delisting at 250.45M, 30 Minutes or Less would be 3rd with 234.56M and Final Destination 5 last delisting at 123.12M.

3. In order to be eligible to win you must first at least have the order of how the films will cash out correctly. For those that make it that far I will come up with a point system that awards more points for each film the closer you are to the actual delist price. Best overall points will win the top prize.

4. Only one entry/guess per person, anyone is eligible (besides me). Please keep it honest and only make an entry with the main port you post off of. It does not matter where your location is.

5. Your entry has to be posted by Wednesday August 10th, 12pm EST. Any post after that date/time is ineligible.

6. The quicker you post your prediction the better as any duplicate overall guess would be disqualified.

7. Should there be a tie or ties then the prize will be increased and split accordingly.

Currently the prize is as follows:

$30 AMC Gift Card and $25 Gift Card of Your Choice

Winner(s) will be determined the evening of September 6th, after the films have delisted. The actual box office cannot be used to round further than .00 decimals. The winner scores are determined from the actual delist price that HSX uses.

Thanks for playing and good luck to you all.

I'm hoping it's as funny as it looks and WOM turns 30MOL into another Bridesmaids. I love Aziz {nm} Steved1998 Aug 08, 18:01

Are you using our traders to do research? I think this contest should be AFTER the adjust. {nm} Antibody Aug 08, 18:00

i highly doubt that he is, but you have to admit that doing it before the adjust makes it much more difficult. {nm} LuCiFeR Aug 08, 18:03

whatever you want. I assure you I'm not using traders for research. I was merely trying to come up with a creative contest that rewarded lobogotti Aug 08, 18:03

if you're gonna turn this into a regular thing, I {nm} Antibody Aug 08, 18:10

sfek. I'd have to think about it. It getting around guessing without showing math. Might be better having it on your site. {nm} Antibody Aug 08, 18:11
