We definitely need more votes this week. Just post your top 10 films of the next 12 months.
I had actually avoided that trailer for the last few months, so when I saw it in front of New Mutants a few days ago, it was 100% new to me. It played really well on the big screen.

If Unhinged can make 4M, then Tenet ought to easily get past 20M in two weeks.
Especially if they try to make Friday a 5-day single-day number. (Meaning the showings on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday all magically count as part of Friday too.)
Hell, there's a chance it'll be at 20 million BEFORE Thursday night previews even start.
So what numbers can we get our hopes up for today? Will we get a Saturday number for Unhinged, and that's it? Or might we get numbers for other movies too?
1. New Mutants
2. Black Widow
3. Eternals
4. Dune
5, Morbius
6. Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
7. Venom: Let There Be Carnage
8. The King's Man
9. Candyman
10. Snake Eyes
Okay, let's try this. Give me your top 10 movies coming out in the next 365 days.
