Delays build excitement.

Look at Algren for the results of last game

Chill guys! KC is probably a busy dude! We should appreciate he does this nice game at all!

Oh fuck off, zwackerm.

No one was going mad in the first place or forcing KC for the charts this game.

Precisely.

Small correction/oversight: I answered Wish Upon for question no. 7. Just want to be sure this is on the books in case I improbably turn out to be right.

Ah whoops - fixed.

Awesome charts.

Here's to hoping!

Hmm. The returning champ starts off in the top half of the table. Not bad, but not great.

Algren, the Leicester of MGKC's game.

I have the highest prediction for Captain Underpants so it better breakout .

Can't see it.

Should have gone with Dunkirk as my #5. Damn you, Depp!

I have a hard time not seeing it.

Wow I'm gonna get points on Alien after all. That's some serious frontloading!!

Damn Baywatch The answer to biggest film to not hit #1 will probably be The Mummy if Wonder Woman is as big as I think it's gonna be.

No that will be Captain Underpants.

That's what I'm thinking.

Here was the ranking update for last weekend (I'll post another tomorrow for this weekend):

The reigning champ had a nice increase but needs more points from movie grosses. Just two. That's worrisome. Then again, at least I'm not 25th. lol
