Ok the release of summer movies has already begun, but it does not mean we cannot have a box office guessing game. So here are the rules:
Must post entry by end of 25 May 2016
Films Released between 1 May 2016 and 30 August 2016
US Box Office Earned between 1 May 2016 and 30 August 2016, based on the amounts present in Box Office Mojo
Post your top 10 movies in order.
ScoringFeel free to suggest a different scoring system. Your Guess

I am happy to change the point score which is based on the formula:
Correct guess full points, 1 or more out full points minus 1 minus number of positions out
Correct Guess Points - MIN(ABS(Actual position-Guess position)*2;2) - MAX((ABS(Actual position-Guess position) - 1);0)
