ummmm Payback is a movie starring Mel Gibson that came out several years ago i would bet everything i own that it will not be on the top 100 movies this weekend it might be on TBS or WGN or TNT who like to play it quite frequently but i do not think it will be in a single theatre despite the holidays

:thumbup

Still I am disapointed so few people did it this time, maybe it was the holidays I don't know I would like to see more people do it for this summer it makes it more interesting the more that does it.

[Master Yoghurt]

Yay! <img src=http://thegjo.com/smileys/pokal.gif>

Yeah, I agree more people should play. I suggest some heavy advertising for the next contest.

[Jedi Master Carr]

I think it is easier in the summer for people to make guesses too. I think it is rough during the holiday season. We will have to come up with some ways to advertize for it. I think we can post a month early the details and do reminders and stuff.

[Syo]

Who won last summers?

[Jedi Master Carr]

Sir Dizzy no comment on where he is now :p Marcus won last holiday (I think) and Yoghurt the Summer before.

[Master Yoghurt]

Actually, I won the holiday one as well. This summer, I did not play so I look forward to regain my champion title again.. ;)

I agree the summer tends to draw more players.

Maybe we should start a separate thread for this summers box office contest. It could be used for ideas/input and surveying the general interest. Starting this thread early ensures a better awareness level.

Topics of interest would be:
* When will the season start/end
* The rules; any changes? (Im wondering if a points system like Box Office Mojo use would be better)
* Who will play etc

[Jedi Master Carr]

Yeah Mojo's point system is interesting. Maybe we should make some changes, it does suck when you get the order wrong you get no points, etc. Might be a good idea to make some changes or at least discuss it.

[ReaperFett]

I just came here to post this weeks picks. Force of habit :)

[Jedi Master Carr]

Heh, you can still make predictions if you want :p
