So to celebrate an actual threat to the top 15 domestic being released, let's give Dr Strange its own SOTM too Here are 8 questions? 1. Where will Dr. Strange's OW rank all time for films taking place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe? 9th 2. Where will Dr. Strange's Domestic total rank all time for films taking place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe? 9th 3. Where will Dr. Strange's Worldwide total rank all time for films taking place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe? 7th 4.

How many days will Dr Strange spend at number 1 in the US box office? 13 8. How many different days will Rogue One gross more than Dr Strange's Opening Sunday total? 8 For each question the scores are as follows: Obviously some of these are easier to get close to than others Get the Number exactly correct: 25,000 point Miss the Number by 1: 20,000 point Miss the Number by 2: 15,000 point Miss the Number by 3: 10,000 point Miss the Number by 4: 5,000 point Miss the Number by 5: 0 point Miss the Number by 6: Minus 2000 points Miss the Number by 7: Minus 5,000 points Miss the Number by 8 or more: Minus 10,000 point You must answer every question. If you answer some but not all, the unanswered questions will be marked as a minus 10000 point answer. You can abstain for 2000 points, but I feel these are pretty generous scores on offer here...

Frankenweenie isn't Laika.

I think my winter game is already doomed.

Olympus is so dedicated to taking itself and the scenario it presents seriously, that after a while (oh, probably a minute or two into bodies exploding on the National Mall) it became kinda hilarious. I mean, it's terrible, but I was kinda entertained by the "this is real!" nature of it, even if it was incredibly stupid.

All questions are related to the top 12, are for the 3 day weekend and are worth 1000 points unless otherwise stated: 1. Will Inferno open to more than $25M? Yes 2. Will Inferno open to more than $29M? 2000 Yes 3. Will Inferno open to more than $32.5M? Yes 4. Will Madea stay more than $2.5M ahead of Jack Reacher? No 5. Will Ouija drop more than 60%? Yes 6.

Will Miss Pereguine increase more than 65% on Saturday? 2000 Yes 10. Will Max Steel gross less than $150k this weekend (being pulled form theaters would equate to a gross of $0)? Yes 11. Will any film in the top 12 have had a theater increase of more than 25 theaters? 3000 Yes 12. Will Kevin Hart stay above Deepwater Horizon? No 13. Will Suicide Squad have a higher PTA than Secret Life of Pets? Yes 14. Will the top 10 make a combined weekend gross above $82.5M 2000 Yes 15. Will Moonlight's PTA stay above $20k? Yes 16.

6. Mad Max: Fury Road $153.6M 13000 / 10000 I guess.

Box office-wise, Drive's about the only one that's an unqualified hit. Quality-wise, I'd probably only consider one of his films to be even "good".

Even if you don't like the directors' output, it's pretty much impossible to argue that any of them (except possibly Refn?) are "one hit wonders", especially since in many cases you weren't listing their biggest hit.

This is the first time I've heard anyone describe Antz as a retelling of Seven Samurai.

Well, so much for its nomination chances, then.

The Broadway production of Frozen has entered a month long development lab: http://www.playbill.com/article/stage-adaptation-of-disneys-frozen-getting-month-long-lab-in-ny-starting-today They've pulled on a new director for the production. The Lopezes and Lee are involved in the Lab (although Kristen Andersen-Lopez is also at work on another show, so seems to be splitting her time.) Apparently there are possibly a dozen new songs. I wonder if we'll see some of the pieces that were parts of earlier drafts of the film make an appearance in the stage production, at least musically. It's pretty clear that in the film, there are a lot of gaps to fill. As it stands, the three act structure breaks down with the following songs: Act 1: Vuelie (Which is listed on the soundtrack as part of the score, but will probably play as something of an Overture.) Frozen Heart Do You Want to Build a Snowman For the First Time in Forever Love is an Open Door Let it Go Act 2: Reindeer are better than People In Summer For the First Time in Forever (Reprise) Act 3: Fixer Upper Act 1 is pretty solid for most requires plot beats (although if they wanted to add something with the Trolls it might be good to aid in a transition and to possibly set up a connection to Fixer Upper). Act 2 needs a few additions. Act 3 needs pretty much all major plot beats covered. I'd expect that the intermission (end of Stage Act 1) to happen right after the Forever reprise. One interesting thing is what they might do for the moment when Anna fully transforms. I remember an interesting discussion after the film's release that posited that it would have been nice if there was a small, haunting, Do You Want to Build a Snowman reprise right there. I think they may have even entertained that, but felt that going for the silent shock was better on the screen. I could see them choosing differently for the stage, though. Exciting stuff! Even if the sequel is possibly not moving forward quite so strongly, the stage production is really something to look forward to.

I'm really curious to see Your Name, now. The people who are incredibly positive towards it are warring with my own impression of Shinkai's films:which has tended to be that he's a good director, but there's nothing of his that I've seen that I'd call great. However, despite that positive response, Funimation is correct to wait until next year to release it. In the tight field that exists this year, sneaking in as a nominee would be incredibly hard, even with the Japanese box office run. I'm actually not so hot on its chances next year, regardless of perceived quality. Even ignoring the fact that no Japanese film has got a nomination unless it had some association with Ghibli, I think there's a case that the distributor may matter. Boy and the Beast missing out last year might have been in part because Funimation doesn't have the presence for an awards run in comparison to GKIDS, and that might weigh against YN.

I believe AT&T is already the biggest American telecommunications company (if we go by market cap). If you add in Time Warner's value, you'll get a company that's about twice Disney or Comcast's valuation. (Comcast owns NBC Universal, and is probably the closest analogue to what AT&T&T&WB will be.) In terms of media, Time Warner already competes with Disney. Since AT&T doesn't already have any notable entertainment and media assets (that I know of), it's not like the deal is going to significantly change the two. It's probably more notable that this pushes AT&T further from other telcos and media companies and closer to the likes of the big tech companies (Amazon, Apple, Google, Microsoft.)

What the fuck?

I probably should have watched more trailers and such before I did my predictions.

Solid and entertaining all around, with occasional flashes of brilliance. Highlights: Denzel being Denzel. He showcases why he's consistently worth his paycheck, because he makes pretty much anything he's in entertaining. It's perhaps not elevated art, but it's always a good show, and he brings the goods. Plus, the man is fucking ageless if he needs to be. Pratt showing he doesn't need a franchise to be a leading man. Yes, he's second fiddle to Denzel here, but he's got the charm and charisma to be topline without Marvel or Dinos to prop him up. The rest of the Seven aren't quite the showmen, but they all bring something to their roles that makes them engaging. Plus, it's nice that there's an assortment of people of color in the roles, when the given role isn't entirely about being a person of color. Sarsgaard makes a great villain. That cinematography. If it's a western, it's got to have some gorgeous scenery. This film has numerous shots that just ooze that wide open charisma that the American West is known for. Haley Bennett is still somewhere in that "budget JLaw" realm with this film, but she's still able to shine as something of her own, even if the role is a bit thankless. (The racial politics of the film are vastly improved over Westerns of yesteryear, the sexual politics are not, unfortunately.) If there's something I wanted more of, it's for the town defenses to be more creative, but it worked overall. The action was well choreographed, the jokes were fun but didn't pull you out of the film, the emotion felt real enough to engage. Solid 3 of 5 stars with an upside.

But Jackman was a cameo in Apocalypse. Your answer isn't really helpful. Either list the films or actors that are being counted or just delete the question because trying to guess what "starring" and "cameo" is impossible. Do Olivia Munn (Office Christmas Party) and Lucas Till (Monster Trucks) count or not? Without you being really specific, I have to abstain because I'm not psychic.

Will Jack Reacher inevitably go back during the course of his film? Yes, but it will probably be in some technical way that isn't really going back, because he makes his own rules.

Some of these questions are unclear. I particularly hate the "higher or lower" structure. Question 7: Does LEGO Batman count as one of these films? Or is it specifically Doctor Strange, Fantastic Beasts, and Rogue One? Question 24: What constitutes a Cameo? Could you just specifically list the starring cast so we don't have to guess at this? JJ-8's Question 4: Clarify exactly what you're asking for here. Percentage drops can be read either way. JJ-8's Question 19: This is really confusingly worded. Considered to be main characters of what? If they aren't considered to be main characters, what does it mean that they were introduced? Is it any character who appeared or is there some minimum amount of screen presence we need to account for? Edit: Section E "And the Winner Is". The rules state top 7 placements. The template has 10 slots for that section. Which is it? Are we supposed to pick 7 films and 3 alternates? (Because, honestly, I'm not even sure if 10 different films released during the game will qualify for those awards.)

Ugh. Winter is so much harder to predict than summer. Damn platform releases and films that have their success be incredibly contingent on critical acclaim.
