Isn't the answer to #6 currently Storks?

Fuck this game!

Ah good call - I'll need to fix that.

I was in last, and now I'm firmly in the middle. DON'T CALL IT A COMEBACK!

I'm so glad we didn't predict Billy Lynn as I probably would have predicted around 100 Million . With reviews it's not going to be an Oscar contender and will do pretty poorly. I COULD have seen it being another Unbroken with a different release as general audiences will probably enjoy it much more. But opening the same day as Arrival, a movie that will likely remain with a high 90% score on RT, it's definitely getting overshadowed. Not sure who would go see Billy Lynn over Arrival.

Republicans.

True. Of course they wouldn't want to see a movie about aliens. They're trying to keep them out.

Twitter proves time and time again that it is pointless for gauging movie interest:

I'm Not Ashamed showed up on the twitter index on BO.com a few months ago and for 2 weeks it had Fault In Our Stars like counts. Then it totally disappeared. It was obviously a faulty search. I don't believe they ever mentioned it either. At the time it was worth bringing up though, because that hasn't really happened before.

Yep - just giving you and Magic Mike a hard time. It was still an interesting one to predict.

I'm Not Ashamed probably got a lot of false hits from the LGBTQ community. The title is dumb and misleading.

I'm #1?! Looks like all my pessimism is paying off.

Yeah that was a big mistake.
