Now here's a game you can play at work and using just about any computer. The Hollywood Stock Exchange is pretty much Wall Street if you traded in movies and actors rather than companies and commodities.
The premise is relatively simple. In the case of movies you're speculating as to how much it will make in the first four weekend of release in regards to the price of stock. For instance, take the upcoming James Bond film which, right now, is offered at $124.85 a share. If you buy the stock at that price you're speculating that in it's first four weekends of release it will gross $124.85 million. After the movie has been out for four weekends all stock that you have in it is automatically sold and any money is put into your account. As in the real stock market, you can buy or sell your stock at any time.
Star Bonds work on speculating as to how much a celebrity will make in their next four films. But be careful, you might have a Christian Bale who'll do a big Blockbuster movie but then will do a bunch of independent films afterwards.
There also options you can get, and right now you take picks on the Academy Awards such as who'll get Best Actor/Actress and of course Best Picture.
Now don't worry, you're not paying any real money for it and the game gives all new accounts 2 million to start off.
