I made a thread asking if it was ok to make this game, and asking if people would be interested. I got one reply, with someone saying they'd take part, so I'm giving it a go. It's similar to the singles predictions game in the UK chart forum. Hope this is ok :)

 

Please predict the UK box office top 10 for the weekend 26th-28th February:

 

01.

02.

03.

04.

05.

06.

07.

08.

09.

10.

 

Bonus Questions:

Q1. How much (in GBP) will the #1 make?

Q2. How much (in GBP) will the #10 make?

Q3. How much (in GBP) will the #7 make?

 

Rules

You will get 1 point for every position you get right. With the bonus questions, whoever is nearest gets a bonus point. Questions 1 & 2 will stay the same every week, the position number in Question 3 will change every week. The leaderboard will be reset after the last week of June. Please subit your predictions by Tuesday 2nd March 00:00(UK Time). Any submitted after will not be counted. Results will be revealed once I hear the top 10. A bit of help is given below.

Four predictions including my own probably isn't too bad for the first week. I will try and gather more interest before doing it again. Did the people who took part enjoy it?

 

 

 

 

I enjoyed it :D Was quite fun actually. Look forward to seeing it return at some point.

I predicted the top 4 right!

 

It was fun, but it will be much better when there's more people doing it

wow this was great how will we know when it is back on?
