The Summer Movie Wager is a game which we play during the summer of each year. You can find the history of the game and play along at thesummermoviewager.com (thanks to Dennis for putting that site together). 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 2, 2024 (with the release of The Fall Guy) and last through September 2, 2024, 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.
