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.

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.

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.

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