Though I forgot that Clint Eastwood made a Jersey Boys movie.

Enough people like the first. I had a great time seeing it in theaters. Definitely one of the better modern musicals. The sequel looks like one of the highlights of the summer as far as wide releases go. The trailer has been with everything and everyone I've ever seen it with in front of a movie has said they want to see it.

Re: KJ's Summer Box Office Contest 2018 - Overview on page 4
People like the first yeah. I’d say few love it outside of its fan base.
I also think the market for Mamma Mia is way older than for the Greatest Showman and way harder to get to come to the theater. And this one is not even based on a stage show.

Hm. Not a great start by me. I should've done better with some of those predictions, especially Deadpool 2.

Re: KJ's Summer Box Office Contest 2018 - Points Update May
I know anything can change, but Vanilla is just the all-time best predictor at this game, so it's no wonder he is already in first place and looking ripe to continue his dominance. BK is usually pretty good too, and he's second. Surprising to see Magic Mike, Star Lord, and exdee13 so low. But it's early days. What's no surprise? Chippy being 28th.

KC, I had 35 for Breaking In, not 28. That's the only one I see for me that's off.

Looks like maybe everyone's Overboard predictions are there instead of Breaking In...

Damn it! Went too high on DP2. I knew better but my optimism got the better of me again.

Not giving up on points for Book Club. It should be close to the projected total of 35M by the end of the holiday weekend.

Re: KJ's Summer Box Office Contest 2018 - Points Update May
Damn Deadpool. I predicted a higher OW so the legs brought it over $400m, but forgot it was boosted by V-Day.
Oh well.

I'm getting a feeling that's the deal breaker on anyone getting the top 5 correct this time.

First glance, Price's group has the best shot at the Top 5. With geek/zwack right behind.

The top 5 curse doomed Solo more than anything else. Ant-Man breakout incoming.

Re: KJ's Summer Box Office Contest 2018 - Points Update May
UGH.
I bumped up Deadpool & Solo when I predicted OWs and got the total through expected multipliers from thereon.
Really annoying. I mean, I still would've overpredicted for both, but maybe might have been able to get points for Solo with a sub-$300m gross as opposed to $50m over that.
Was also thinking of leaving it off for Ant Man, unfortunately the 3 who do have them in have Solo ahead of that, so looks like Top 5 is a bust again.
hahaha incredible no one has gotten it yet.
