It’s summer blockbuster season, and that means it’s time for our first annual Movies On UP! Box Office Bash!! We had so much fun playing Fantasy Film Ball during the fall/winter movie season, we couldn’t wait to play another game.
Thus, Box Office Bash is born…
The rules are simple: Pick 5 movies releasing between May 1 and August 31.
The scoring is easy: Earn 1pt for every $10 million earned in the US Box Office between May 1 and Aug 31 and earn 3pts for every weekend a movie takes the top spot at the box office.
It’s not difficult to enter: Just email your 5 picks to MoviesOnUP@gmail.com by 4/30 (or by 4/28 to be included in our Box Office Bash Episode next week).
