1. Black Panther
2. Rampage
3. Peter Rabbit
4. Fifty Shades
And the number 5 film will be Wrinkle or READY PLAYER one.

Re: KJ's Spring Box Office Contest - Points Update for Mar 4 A dark horse such as A Quiet Place or Blockers might also sneak into the top five, though it seems Ready Player One will do well (positive reviews help).

Re: KJ's Spring Box Office Contest - Points Update for Mar 1 So glad nobody predicted I Can Only Imagine for #10 because that's the answer.

From what I read in some threads, most people found out this was opening less than one week before it did, so no wonder no one predicted it. _________________

Re: KJ's Spring Box Office Contest - Points Update for Mar 1 Yeah mostly no one on the board knew it was being released and then the small theater count also didn't help. But this opens up a possibility for next time to not take faith based movies for granted.

Re: KJ's Spring Box Office Contest - Points Update for Mar 1 It was on the schedule the whole time. People just didn't know what it was. Though the trailer was attached to Wonder which many saw. Just hard to gauge these faith-based films and how wide they'll open. Hard to know which of them will break out.

Re: KJ's Spring Box Office Contest - Points Update for Mar 1 It's not 100% that I Can Only Imagine will win question 10. It has patterns similar to a concert movie (like the pre-sales), and Son of God had pretty hard drops. They both dropped on Saturday. And Paul Apostle of Christ could hit it hard. It has the A+ Cinemascore but I think it's too early to call it a lock.

Paul is not hitting hard. People are LOVING ICOI and it will likely get many repeat viewings. Not to mention Son of God didn't get a big theater increase (just 11 as it was already ultra wide).

Re: KJ's Spring Box Office Contest - Points Update for Mar 1 Yeah ICOI is pretty much a lock from this opening it should easily get past $35m mark which should be good enough to win this question. There aren't many movies left in the draw to challenge that mark.
