I’m up to 4th in average predict score! I think my primary strength is having opponents inexplicably have their one sub-par week when facing me. Smart money still says I’ll be in the bottom half when this is done. Watch JJ crush me this week to get the ball rolling.

1. What will Infinity War's total be at the end of the game? 650M 2. What will Book Club's total be by the end of the game? 50M 3. What will Tag's 3 day OW be? 10M 4. What will Ocean 8's Second weekend percentage drop be? -38% 5. What will be the difference in gross between Jumanji's Domestic and Solo's Worldwide gross by the end of the game (No need to state which is higher)? 10M 6. What percentage of Deadpool's domestic gross will Antman Make Domestic (if you think it makes more than deadpool then predict over 100%)? 73% 7. How close to $700M will Black Panther finish domestic (which side of is unimportant 699 and 701 will give the same answer)? 30K 8. How many weeks will Hereditary spend in the domestic top 12? 3 9. How close to $1.5B will Jurassic World finish by the end of the game? 100M 10. What will be the difference between I Feel Pretty and Life of the Party's final grosses? 1M

Agreed. Rogue One was arguably a better movie overall (though its arguable), but Solo did a *much* better job of bringing the characters to life. The leader of the Marauders, whatever her name was, felt more fleshed out than anyone in Rogue One except Krennic or maybe K-2SO, and that includes Jyn and Cassian.

Don't complain, just be grateful!

So, is the “double” option still on the table? No? Ok, then. To be fair, this one looked closer a few weeks ago. Wk6 - No

And in all seriousness, my kids HATED it. They thought it looked cool, and maybe if they’d seen it in 3D on the big screen it would have carried them. But they didn’t, so they got bored after like 15 minutes and it went on and on. The whole white savior thing normally annoys them, but they were so bored by the end they just didn’t care.

Finally saw Solo. It was hardly essential, but it was totally fun and deserved a better BO fate than its going to get. And while I was prepared to hate Ehrenreich, he totally grew on me.

Wk5 - Deadpool 2 Also, a minor scoring quibble. I’m afraid I got wk 4 right. I said something like “Ooh, a tough one, but Yes.”

That seems like a bad idea. Hopefully it wasn't blue.

I'm sorry, I think there's been some kind of tabulation error. I haven't seen Big Trouble in Little China anywhere on the list yet...

No one is saying its going to last FOREVER. They’re just saying its showing no signs of imploding anytime soon. I mean, if a hitter in baseball has a 3 homer game, jumping in and announcing he’ll never do it again is dumb. Because, sure, probably not. But he might, and even if he never does it again, just doing it once is pretty darn impressive. Plus, he’s got a great shot at having years of really fun and impressive results ahead of him, even if he never manages another 3 homer game. edit - When someone does something great, is your first response to taunt them “Hope you enjoyed it, because you’ll probably never do it again”? I’m sure you’re fun at parties.

So, your point is that this current 10-year long trend will eventually end rather than literally running on forever? Um, ok. I mean, thats not super insightful. Everthing ends eventually.

You better believe the Flying Cougars will be back.

Um, I think so, though I think almost everyone was a villain in the end.

Only problem with that scene is that its very... dusty. At least, thats what I assume is going on with my eyes.

Speaking of great epilogues, I’ve just realized I left Bowfinger off my list. The last 5 minutes of that movie might be my favorite 5 minutes in all of cinema. You just have to remember that it genuinely represents the utmost dreams of all the major characters having come true.

Trick question: The right answer is Evil Dead 3! ok, not really, though the epilogue is amazing. Evil Dead 2 should win for its creativity. I can’t imagine Phantasm aged well. How’s that little metal ball holding up?

I may be in alone in this, but Rope is in my top 20.

Its funny that The Fast and the Furiosa has the best average accuracy score in our group, yet is 1-2. I suspect that record will turn around. Meanwhile, I have the worst average accuracy, across all the leagues, of anyone to start 3-0 (and only the 6th best average accuracy in League 2). I see many losses in my future.

I actually like Hearts of Darkness better than Apocalypse Now. That is an amazingly interesting and entertaining documentary.

In bizarro, opposite-world.
