It's the annual Summer Movie Wager! Old friends Germain Lussier (@GermainLussier) and Peter Sciretta (@Petersciretta ) return place their bets, along with the Filmcast crew, on this summer’s box office. Come back in the fall to see who will emerge as the winner of 2023’s wager. Thanks to our SPONSORS for making this video possible! Hello Fresh: Go to HelloFresh.com/filmcast50 and use code filmcast50 for 50% off, plus your first box ships free! ExpressVPN: Go to EXPRESSVPN.com/filmcast today and get an extra three months free on a one-year package. BetterHelp: Visit BetterHelp.com/filmcast today to get 10% off your first month. We're making video versions of our reviews! Be sure to follow us on the following platforms: YouTube Tiktok Instagram The Summer Movie Wager is a box office game which is played each summer. You can find the history and play along at http://www.thesummermoviewager.com (thanks to Dennis for maintaining the site!) The general goal of this game is to predict the highest grossing films of the summer in terms of domestic box office, in the correct order. The closer you get to the final ranked order, the more points you get. This year, the summer movie wager will begin on May 4 2023 (the release of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3) and last through September 4, 2023, Labor Day, as usual. Each of your 13 picks (10 movies and 3 dark horses) gets a single score assigned to it by using the following rules: If your picked movie for #1 OR #10 is correct, you score 13 points for it. If your picked movie for 2-9  is correct, you score 10 points for it. If your picked movie is only 1 spot away from its actual placement, you score 7 points for it. If your picked movie is only 2 spots away from its actual placement, you score 5 points for it. If your picked movie is placed inside the Top 10, you score 3 points for it. If your picked movie is not placed inside the Top 10, you score 0 points for it. For each of your picked dark horses placed inside the Top 10, you score 1 point. -If two or more rules apply to a single pick, only that single rule will be applied which assigns the highest point value to that pick. For example: If your pick for #1 is correct, you don't get 16 points for it because it is #1 and because it placed inside the Top 10; instead you only get 13 points for it. Germain’s top 10 1.
