Damn I was hoping to get points for Poppins on question #6, but no way it passes Star Is Born now. I'll definitely get points for Mortal Engines, Spiderverse Bumblebee nd Aquaman are maybes, Holmes and Marwen are definite nos (wtf was I thinking on WTM?)

Still can hope for a top 3 finish but seems pretty unlikely. :mad:

Mary Poppins Returns made the most top 5 predictions, and now there's a pretty decent chance it won't even ran in the final top 5. Has that ever happened before in a game?

1. Aquaman
2. Grinch
3. Venom
4. A Star is Born
5. Bohemian Rhapsody

6. Ralph Breaks the Internet
7. Mary Poppins Returns
8. Halloween
9. Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald
10. Bumblebee

Everyone was so wildly off on Beasts, Ralph and Poppins.

Algren should be the only one to get points for all three films I think. I had poppins and ralph both as sub 200m grossers but was pretty wildly off on beasts.

Even the *top 3* most predicted films in the top 5 did not make it! I'm willing to bet that that has never happened. Despite this the award for biggest surprise in my opinion has to go to Bohemian Rhapsody making the top 5.

We all definitely overestimated the appeal of family-friendly sequels. Presumably The Grinch stole much of the Christmas from those films. Interestingly, we did *not* overestimate comic book superheros or long-standing horror franchises.

The winner is definitely set. :thumbsup: I'm just waiting on the Top 5 movies to shake out (Venom vs. Bohemian Rhapsody vs. A Star is Born) to have a more final chart.
