KJ's 2014 Fall / Winter Box Office Contest

After a just-OK summer, it's time for a *hopefully* much better season of movies to do well. Even if they don't (I'm looking at you September and October), they'll still be fun to predict. The Top 5 of the season will be tricky as always.

Remember, what other box office game can take you as little as 15 minutes to play, but provide enjoyment for 4 months!!

The season's contest covers movies released from September 5th, 2014 to December 31st, 2014. The player with the most points at the end of the game will receive a $25 gift card.

Lol if Into the Woods makes more than Les Miserables.

Don't really see why that would be funny. It's Disney after all and this is a family film, unlike Les Miserables. It's also not 3 hours.

Les Mis is the fifth most popular musical ever. Into the Woods didn't even run for 1,000 performances.

This is the wrong thread for the discussion, but it comes down to Disney + Christmas release date + fairytale/magic + Meryl Streep + Johnny Depp, not just the popularity of the source material.

I didn't ay I didn't think it would happen. I just said it would be funny.
