Bonus Ep: The 2025 Summer Movie Wager Results

Note: This episode takes the place of the normal After Dark this week.

It?s time once again for box office judgment day! Our friends BJ Colangelo, Germain Lussier, and Peter Sciretta return to the podcast along with the Filmcast crew to discuss this year?s summer box office. Which films surprised us? And who came out on top when all the points were tallied? Listen to find out!

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. 

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.

Ep. 821 - The 2025 Summer Movie Wager

It's the annual Summer Movie Wager! Our friends BJ Colangelo, Germain Lussier, and Peter Sciretta return to make their wagers along with the Filmcast crew, on this summer's box office. Come back in the fall to see who will reign supreme as the winner of the 2025 wager. You can play along at thesummermoviewager.com. To be considered for the leaderboard, you must enter by Wednesday April 30, 2025.

The Summer Movie Wager is a game that 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 1, 2025 (with the release of Thunderbolts) and last through September 1, 2025, 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.
