Most (if not all) answers and projected box office grosses should be known now. Update! Update! Update! ;)

Interesting fact: zwackerm and exdee have never finished in the final three of this game.

I'll be monitoring Isle of Dogs this weekend. If it passes $31.5 million, it changes the top 3 ranking. 90% shot that it doesn't, but this weekend's gross should confirm it.

Otherwise - this is likely going to be the closest finish we've ever had!

Not over yet. Plus looks like Wrinkle in Time and Isle of Dogs is getting expanded this weekend, so that could throw off a few things (especially if Wrinkle in Time can pass Fifty Shades Freed).

Going to come down whether or not Wrinkle in Time / Rampage can pass $100 million and Fifty Shades Freed.

A Wrinkle in Time did lose 88% of its theaters this weekend, but some fishy number-pushing could happen next week with Disney's Solo.

Wrinkle and Rampage are NOT hitting 100m. End this madness!

Wrinkle dropped 90% this weekend after push from Disney. Rampage dropped hard this weekend and should continue to do so in next few weekends as well. It barely crossed $1.5m with a total of $92m it's not going to reach there even with all the family boost.

Disney still has a chance to artificially increase A Wrinkle in Time's gross with Solo's release this weekend, since they're from the same studio.

I totally agree with you both - but my goal is to avoid having to fix a contest's final results. A Wrinkle in Time's gross can affect the final ranking.

I am still wary of Disney shenanigans with Incredibles 2 and Wrinkle in Time double-features, but with its DVD release on June 5, I *think* I can call this. Results should be up later this weekend.

A Wrinkle in Time increased this weekend despite losing theaters. I'm guessing Disney fudged a little bit, but really it was pointless. They're still far away. Are there confirmed double-features with Incredibles 2? I'd have thought the obvious double-feature for I2 would be Infinity War or Bland Panther.

Nothing confirmed - that's just how I could see them getting it to $100 million. It is odd that it increased this weekend despite still being fairly far away.

Yeah. This weekend it would have made more sense to nudge Wrinkle over the century than to get Solo to $84m instead of $82m. Not that they could've bumped Wrinkle that much anyway. That would have been too obvious. They're obviously playing the long game. Add a couple of hundred thousand each time they have a new release (which is often) to nudge it over. That being said, this game cannot go on until November. ;)

Don’t forget to add my Pacific Rim prediction back in. Won’t make any difference at the top but the 3 extra points will make me feel better about myself. :)

And as always, thanks for all you do.

Thanks Flava'd - I've done that on my spreadsheet now.

-----------------------------------------

I still don't feel comfortable ending this just yet, as the #1 winner could change (unlikely as it is). I'm giving it two more weekends, until after The Incredibles 2 opens to review this again. (Only reason: Zootopia saw a large increase in its 16th weekend when Finding Dory opened.)

However, to satisfy some of your appetites for points updates, here are some possibilities going forward that impact the top 5 ranking:

A Wrinkle in Time passes $100 million (but not Fifty Shades of Grey's $100.4 million gross). Isle of Dogs does not pass $31.5 million. (1% CHANCE)
#1: exxdee13 - 38 pts
#2: zwackerm - 38 pts
#3: Magic Mike - 37 pts
#4: i.hope - 37 pts
#5: MGKC - 35 pts

And here it is....A Wrinkle in Time expands to 245 cinemas. Disney's strategy to push it over $100m by using some of that Incredibles 2 money.

Kudos on waiting, KC.

Looks like Disney is going after that drive-in/ double feature with Incredible's money.

Oh boy, Isle of Dogs already passed 31.5m. Wrinkle in Time already pass 100m, and close to 100.4m. Might I lose against a 1% chance? lol

Not just that, you'd be tied with pts with Mike but still lose. Ouch.

Last step is whether or not Wrinkle in Time passes Fifty Shades 3. That determines the winner. It's crazy close
