Because apparently everyone is trying to get in on this today :P
The general format of entries is the same as last year, you're picking the movies releasing in the 2019 calendar year that will have the 5 highest domestic grosses (their runs can spill over into 2020 and still count) and rank them according to gross (no need to provide the actual numbers, but you can if you'd like). The scoring will be a little different this year, though. You still get 1 point for having the correct movies on the list at all. This is where it'll differ: If you get the #1 movie in the correct spot, it's worth 5 bonus points. Any other movie in the correct spot is worth 3 bonus points. And for every rank each of those movies is off, you lose a bonus point. So for example, putting the 1st place movie in 4th is worth 2 bonus points. Putting the 5th place movie in 3rd is worth 1 bonus point. And outside of first place, any movie more than 2 spots off doesn't get you any bonus points.
Now for the prizes. First place will be the same as last year, a $50 gift card to the gaming store of your choice (PSN, XBL, Epic Game Store, EShop, Steam, etc.). For this year, we're gonna have second and third place prizes as well. For second place, thanks to kswiston a $25 gift card to the store of your choice, and for third place thanks to berzeli a collection of various game keys (and a promise that not all of them will be trash). If anyone else wants to contribute towards the prizes, PM me.
Entries will be allowed until 1AM GMT on Monday, January 28, 2019 (which should be 8PM Eastern time on Sunday, January 27, 2019). Good luck everyone, and have fun.
