I run an online movie game site. Players write their own scripts and other players vote on them at the "virtual box office". But we do all the stats manually. So here's my Question:

We have 15 movies in theaters and a user votes for 2.
that info needs to be added to a count for the corresponding movie for that day (i.e. 10 votes for it today)
Then at Midnight, those results must be thrown through a set formula then the results need to be sorted by money and posted to the web.

Each movie would play on a different amount of screens (which would be set for the week) which would have to be factored into the forumla.

So at midnight "Movie X" would have 11 votes with 3200 screen and then be run through the formula, ranked and automatically posted to the web.
How difficult would it be to set up something like this? Or to administrate once implemented (the movies change weekly). And are there any canned apps out there that might suit our needs.

Thanks for your help,

Dcope
