NEW GAME: Biggest Movies of 1984
Posted: Thu Jun 29, 2017 1:37 pm
Here's the rules:
1- Post up with a movie that was released in 1984 that you think has the highest domestic box office gross for movies released that year.
2- After you make a post- you can only guess again AFTER I HAVE TOLD YOU IF YOU ARE RIGHT AND HAVE AWARDED POINTS. Thus, if you make a guess- please don't guess again until I've acknowledged your guess.
3- Your guess must be done off the top of your head. No research. No googling. No referring to Imdb. Obviously, no referring to Box Office Mojo. Just use your brain. This game is on the honor's system. But if you cheat, please understand that you're just ruining the game for everyone. There's nothing at stake. We're just all trying to have fun.
4- Points are awarded only for the top 20 movies of 1984, in reverse order of their place on the list. Thus, 1 point for the 20th movie. 20 points for the top movie. The listing is determined by Box Office Mojo and points will be awarded in compliance with their listing. If you think BOM has made a mistake- that's too bad.
I will try to periodically update this first post with all the guesses, points awarded and standings.
