Wow, I'm shocked I'm doing so well, seeing as how some of my predictions were absolute trash. (See Uncle Drew and Tag)

That 20 point bonus isn't going to anyone this Summer though, with M:I sure to land at 5.

Yes MI6 has that #5 position pretty much locked up unless it falls very heavily in face of Meg.

Post subject:  Re: KJ's Summer Box Office Contest 2018 - Points Update Aug

Adrift is not a very impressive winner of question no. 10, gross-wise. I wonder if the final answer will end up being The Happytime Murders or Mile 22.

Post subject:  Re: KJ's Summer Box Office Contest 2018 - Points Update Aug

I'm shocked it's held that question that long. You're right though - it's gotta be Happytime Murders or Mile 22 that takes it.

Author:  Price [ Fri Aug 17, 2018 10:56 am ]
Post subject:  Re: KJ's Summer Box Office Contest 2018 - Points Update Aug

Movies over $200 million should be six. It's missing Ant-Man and the Wasp and Incredibles 2.

RIP to SolC9, Price, David, Algren, nghtvsn, and Jack Sparrow. Crazy Rich Asians outgrossed their TOTAL predictions in its Opening Weekend.

The Darkest Minds broke the record for the BIGGEST THEATER DROPS (-2,679) ever for wide releases in their third weekend. It is almost locked for Question #7.
