The Summer Forecast: America vs. the World?!

Post by American Eagle »

THE SUMMER FORECAST
The Lounge! | Week 1 | Week 2 | Week 3 | Week 4 | Week 5 | Week 6 | Week 7 | Week 8 | Week 9 | Week 10 | Finale!

Despicable Me 2 did exceptionally well in theaters last week! It made over $143M million, $84M of which it collected over the normal Friday, Saturday and Sunday weekend that we predicted. Gracy, Fang, Sunshine, Petrichor and Marvin were all within $5M (2 tickets), and Shakespeare, Laura, bookworm, radgeek and Aftershocker were within $10M (1 ticket).

Image
Week 7: Will the National League or the American League win the 2013 All-Star Game?
This week is pretty simple: which team will win, the NL or the AL? If you guess correctly, you'll gain 1 ticket.

BONUS QUESTION: How many runs will the teams score COMBINED? In the past 10 years, the totals have been 8, 6, 4, 7, 7, 9, 5, 12, 13 and 13.

If you get the bonus question correct, you'll be given 2 tickets. \:D/

Forecast Tickets for Week 7
  • 5 Tickets
    Shakespeare, Sunshine

    4 Tickets
    Knight Fisher, Marvin D.

    3 Tickets
    ~JCGJ~, Aftershocker, bookworm, Eugene the second, Graces4you, Laura Ingalls

    2 Tickets
    Fang-wa, Jehoshaphat, Jesus' Princess, Monty, Petrichor

    1 Ticket
    Brad, Christian A., godisawesomeness99, Joanne, Joy, Musical Shutterbug, radgeek, snubs, Taps, Termite

    0 Tickets
    The Kings Daughter, TigerintheShadows, T.S. (myself)
I'm picking the American League (by a score of 5-4) because it includes a lot of Detroit Tigers players. \:D/ The game doesn't take place until next Tuesday, so this topic will remain open until Friday at midnight EST. Money has been sent out for the first five weeks of this contest. ;) Spend it wisely and then decide the future of baseball!

Did I get my refined guess of $90 million in too late on Thursday night to get a ticket?

Haha, I sincerely apologize. Your late guess was accepted but I made an accounting error that's too boring to detail. :- It has been corrected.
