He must have a time machine. Good job MadGez.

If we do this again any suggestions on what film say, in the fall?

You should offer more than $20. Jack Sparrow said he would double it.

Haha I never said doubling :funny:

I think it would be better to offer money into different films than offering more money.

Oh, true, he didn't say he would double. Just checked, he said he'd triple it!

It'd be cool to have a site where you can pay like a $1 entry fee for various contests (maybe even ones similar to my own game) for a chance at a $ prize.

This seems similar but is actually legal in 36 states:

It was fun when Intertops.com had box office betting lines every week. I don't know of anywhere you can bet real money on box office anymore. I don't think you can run such an operation anywhere in the US.

Had a strong feeling this film would break out. :shades:

Thanks for running this Shack - much appreciated!! :)

Certainly would like to see further competitions like this. Venom or Halloween would be best. Worth a vote?

As for betting - opens up a legal can of worms. Let's keep it at friendly competitions for now.

Agree - in addition to the legality concerns, people on the internet get turned off by paying for anything

Yes - Indeed. I handed over a successful (free) online motorsport guessing game in the early 2000s to the website the forum was on. Would have had 150-200 entries per round on the forum.

Once it was turned into into a betting game - it attracted less than 20 participants per round and was not viable.

So close. Foiled by MadGez yet again.

Halloween would be awesome to do.

And it's too bad there isn't Box Office betting somewhere. That would be fun.

I’d be willing to donate $20 every now and then.

Purpose for me would be to 1. Attract new members (somewhat easy) and 2. Attract new contributing members (difficult). Shack and I have been carrying the marketing banner and between my paid ads and Shacks awesome twitter page we’ve brought in traffic and new members (to include the owner of Boxoffice Guru and Boxoffice Prophets) but need ideas on how to encourage umm...actual participation.

Agree on improving the site first. Spoke to Lecter a couple of days ago and he said he’d weigh in on site improvements but said he doesn’t post in the site anymore (odd) so the brainstorming will be him, me and whoever wants to join via Facebook.

All KJ needs is one tweet going viral and it can spawn a revival.
