September 6th-8th Panzer Dragoon Burns Down The Competition Post-Labor Day Weekend New Journey’s fantasy epic, Panzer Dragoon opens strongly at over $50m, making it the first $50m opener since Static Shock: Frozen Summer. Dragoon was also loved by audiences as it scored an “A-” CinemaScore, as a $150m total is in view. Learning to Care, also had a big jump as it grew a bit more in theaters to a strong $1.37m weekend. Panzer Dragoon - $52,572,363 New Tricks - $10,596,309 (-44%) Strangers In The Town - $5,355,357 (-34.3%) Frankenstein Jr. - $5,296,606 (-47.7%) The Space Between Trees - $4,959,046 (-41.8%) Slash, Splat, BOOM - $4,814,743 (-54.7%) Soar - $3,706,258 (-45.6%) The Outback - $3,137,099 (-46%) Static Shock: Frozen Summer - $2,038,009 (-66.2%) Learning To Care - $1,370,801 (+497.2%) September 13th-15th Dragoon and Floodbath Collide For A Very Close Weekend Dragoon and Phoenix Fire’s Floodbath fought each other for the top spot this weekend as Dragoon managed to fly faster than Floodbath’s tsunami, having a $26m weekend, dropping only 50.5%. Meanwhile, Floodbath surfs up a strong $24.5m opening, as it scores a “A-'' CinemaScore, meaning a total of over $70m could happen. Learning to Care also grew nearly 110% this weekend, to a $2.8m weekend. Panzer Dragoon - $26,023,320 (-50.5%) Floodbath - $24,539,719 New Tricks - $6,643,886 (-37.3%) Strangers In The Town - $3,925,477 (-26.7%) Frankenstein Jr. - $3,771,184 (-28.8%) The Space Between Trees - $3,372,151 (-32%) Learning To Care - $2,874,570 (+109.7%) Soar - $2,320,118 (-37.4%) The Outback - $1,919,905 (-38.8%) Slash, Splat, BOOM - $1,661,086 (-65.5%) September 20th-22nd The One Million Dollar Jacket Proves Its Worth Alpha Pictures’ romantic comedy, One Million Dollar Jacket opens with $19m and takes the number one spot this weekend. One Million has earned a “B+” CinemaScore from audiences, and could end up with a $70m total when all is said and done. Blankments’ drama Learning to Care opened strongly as it went wide, to a strong $7.6m opening weekend. Audiences loved it too, awarding it an “A+” CinemaScore as it should end up with a $50m total if patterns hold. Infinite’s documentary The War Between Ants opened to $6m, and had a “B+” CinemaScore as well. One Million Dollar Jacket - $19,017,882 Floodbath - $15,926,278 (-35.1%) Panzer Dragoon -$14,573,059 (-44%) Learning To Care - $7,607,688 (+364.7%) The War Between Ants - $6,213,095 New Tricks - $4,112,565 (-38.1%) Frankenstein Jr. - $3,020,718 (-19.9%) The Space Between Trees - $2,016,546 (-40.2%) Strangers In The Town -$1,923,484 (-57%) Soar - $1,508,077 (-35%) September 27th-29th Green Arrow Returns with A Box Office Bullseye Endless Entertainment/DC’s Green Arrow: The Ninth Circle hits a bullseye this weekend, as it debuts within tracking range, at nearly $63m, despite mixed reviews. This shows the power between the two companies working together on films since Y4. With a “B+” CinemaScore, Green Arrow 2 should end up with a $150m+ total. Meanwhile, as Learning to Care grows wider, as does the weekend as the heartfelt drama grew 27.2% this weekend to a near $10m weekend. Green Arrow: The Ninth Circle - $62,696,708 One Million Dollar Jacket - $12,114,391 (-36.3%) Learning To Care -$9,676,979 (+27.2%) Floodbath - $8,759,453 (-45%) Panzer Dragoon -$6,455,865 (-55%) The War Between Ants - $3,864,539 (-37.8%) New Tricks - $2,377,003 (-42.2%) Frankenstein Jr. - $1,649,312 (-45.4%) The Space Between Trees - $1,088,935 (-46%) Strangers In The Town - $1,040,605 (-45.9%)

August 2nd-4th Static Clings Onto Number One as Wave Heist Make Some Waves Frozen Summer manages to stay on top of the box office with ease, only sliding 59%, a common comic book movie drop. Phoenix Fire’s The Wave Heist also treds the water pretty well, pulling in a strong $18.3m opening, and with a “B” CinemaScore and light competition this summer, it will likely surf over $50m. Holdovers continue to do well, apart from Fullmetal, which dropped almost 74% this weekend. Static Shock: Frozen Summer - $35,742,949 (-59%) The Wave Heist - $18,327,401 Animal Crossing - $15,246,380 (-34.6%) The Exchange: Foriegn Studies - $5,526,804 (-34.5%) Mighty Fall - $3,321,131 (-37.8%) Fullmetal Alchemist: A Tale of Two Brothers - $1,824,293 (-73.9%) Sandboy - $678,917 (-47.5%) The Gnashing - $590,729 (-64.8%) Everything I Never Told You - $509,364 (-45%) Eminem-Esque - $392,588 (-47.7%) August 9th-11th Frankenstein Jr. Shows a Strong Pulse, as The Space Between Trees In Theaters Proves to Be Packed The Workshop. Inc’s family animation Frankenstein Jr. became alive this weekend, posting the biggest weekend so far for the studio at $29.6m, as well as debuting first place this weekend. With an “A-” CinemaScore, an $100m total is looking highly likely. Meanwhile, Blankments/EGK’s newcomer The Space Between Trees and Frozen Summer battled for the number two spot, with Frozen Summer barely winning. However, $21.7m at third place is definitely a great result. Audiences were a bit confused initially, giving it a “C+” CinemaScore due to different expectations, however, that is likely not to put a damper on legs at all, as it has picked up quite a lot of chatter over the weekend and should have healthy legs because of it. Frankenstein Jr. -$29,606,172 Static Shock: Frozen Summer - $22,076,783 (-38.2%) The Space Between Trees - $21,748,725 The Wave Heist - $7,697,718 (-58%) Animal Crossing - $7,623,190 (-50%) The Exchange: Foreign Studies -$3,382,404 (-38.8%) Mighty Fall - $1,288,599 (-61.2%) Fullmetal Alchemist: A Tale of Two Brothers - $578,301 (-68.3%) Sandboy -$257,989 (-62%) Everything I Never Told You - $188,974 (-62.9%) August 16th-18th Strangers In The Town Becomes The Talk of The Town Numerator’s black comedy western, Strangers In The Town opened healthily at just above $20m. Strangers scored a “B-” CinemaScore, and with not much until Alpha Pictures’ The One Million Jacket later next month, it should show very strong legs. Holdovers continue to be strong, as The Space Between Trees manages to hold onto third place, edging out Frozen Summer. Strangers In The Town - $20,385,714 Frankenstein Jr. - $17,763,703 (-40%) The Space Between Trees - $14,506,400 (-36.5%) Static Shock: Frozen Summer - $12,561,690 (-33.3%) Animal Crossing - $4,604,407 (-39.6%) The Wave Heist - $4,018,209 (-47.8%) The Exchange: Foreign Studies - $1,701,349 (-49.7%) Mighty Fall - $476,782 (-63%) Fullmetal Alchemist: A Tale of Two Brothers - $202,405 (-65%) Sandboy - $92,876 (-64%) August 23rd-25th New Tricks Manages to Entertain Audiences as The Outback Carries On New Journey’s family comedy New Tricks manages to learn some new tricks as it opened with a solid $23m. With an “A” CinemaScore, there could be a chance if it continues to hold for $100m. Creatures Inc.’s The Outback also scored an “A” CinemaScore and opened well at $6.9m, outopening this April’s Snow Monkeys, as it hopes for a $20m total. New Tricks - $23,274,268 Frankenstein Jr. - $11,315,479 (-36.3%) Strangers In The Town - $11,212,143 (-45%) The Space Between Trees - $9,211,564 (-36.5%) Static Shock: Frozen Summer - $8,039,482 (-36%) The Outback - $6,957,417 Animal Crossing - $2,587,677 (-43.8%) The Wave Heist - $2,330,561 (-42%) The Exchange: Foriegn Studies - $1,058,259 (-37.8%) Mighty Fall - $164,013 (-65.6%) August 30th-September 2nd New Tricks Don’t Get Old, as Slash, Soar and Learning Teach The Audiences Something New Last week’s New Tricks managed to repeat a number one win, falling only 18.7%, giving it a weekend of nearly $19m and a four-day of nearly $24m. Meanwhile, the new openers all opened within expectations. Phoenix Fire’s horror thriller Slash, Splat, BOOM, opened to over $10m for the three day and $13.5m for the four day, but with a “B-” CinemaScore, it will likely fade away after opening weekend, as per usual with horror. New Journey’s family sports flick Soar, did on the lower end of expectations as families were the one audience well fed this summer, doing $6.8m for the weekend and $9m for the four-day. Meanwhile, Learning to Care had a limited opening as it opened to a strong $275k this weekend and $339k for the four day. New Tricks - $18,921,180 (-18.7%)/$23,652,475 Slash, Splat, BOOM - $10,628,571/$13,582,173 Frankenstein Jr. - $10,127,354 (-10.5%)/$13,469,381 The Space Between Trees - $9,211,564 (-36.5%)/$12,896,190 Strangers In The Town - $8,151,228 (-27.3%)/$10,759,621 Soar - $6,812,975/$9,063,132 Static Shock: Frozen Summer - $6,029,612 (-25%)/$7,778,199 The Outback - $5,809,443 (-16.5%)/$7,552,276 Animal Crossing - $1,922,644 (-25.7%)/$2,619,254 The Wave Heist - $1,836,482 (-21.2%)/$2,387,427 Learning To Care - $275,691/$339,010

July 5th-7th Mighty Fall Stays on Top 4th of July Weekend, Gnashing Slashes Second Place, Eminem Stands Up to $4.9m as Memes Aren’t Dank As expected, Mighty Fall ruled the Fourth of July weekend with $38m on the weekend and nearly $55m for the five day. Newcomers for the most part did pretty well also. New Journey’s horror film The Gnashing managed to scare up a strong $22m for the weekend and $32m for the five day. Audiences dug this horror shindig as it scored a “B+” CinemaScore as it will likely create a nice total. Phoenix Fire’s documentary Eminem Esque was able to print out some bills generating $4.89m for the weekend and with an “A” CinemaScore, it’ll be very profitable. Unfortunately, Meme Th(II)eves proved that like itself, dank memes are only enjoyable for a few brief seconds but definitely not over 5 minutes, let alone 90 minutes. Despite the extra day, it opened to $3.5m for the weekend and barely over $7m for the six day. The only thing truly funny about Meme Th(II)eves is it’s hilarious “F” CinemaScore. Mighty Fall - $38,149,138 (-49.5%)/$54,546,117 The Gnashing - $22,030,666/$32,576,493 Sandboy - $5,386,832 (-36.4%)/$8,372,408 Eminem-Esque - $4,895,147 Meme Th(II)eves - $3,568,333/$6,409,372/$7,239,565 Everything I Never Told You - $3,361,344 (-44.4%)/$4,705,882 Bailee Buckets: A Hoops Story - $1,488,401 (-48.8%)/$2,172,682 The Wild Thornberrys - $1,031,035 (-58.8%)/$1,598,104 Dave-Day - $672,571 (-75.1%)/$907,971 Rhino Riders - $572,378 (-56%)/$858,567 July 12th-14th Fullmetal Overcomes Mixed WOM and has Titanium Opening Horizon Entertainment/New Journey’s Fullmetal Alchemist: A Tale of Two Brothers, despite racid reviews and a harsh CinemaScore of “C+”, was able to open to $45m due to its fanbase and apart from Mighty Fall and Mass Effect, a lack of big blockbusters combined with very aggressive marketing allowed it to have a very inflated Friday. However, Fullmetal likely won’t get too much past $100m as Static Shock will likely fry its legs. Also Meme Th(II)eves falls 69% cause why not. Fullmetal Alchemist: A Tale of Two Brothers - $45,151,429 Mighty Fall - $21,516,114 (-43.6%) The Gnashing - $7,931,040 (-64%) Sandboy - $3,824,651 (-29%) Eminem-Esque - $2,941,983 (-39.9%) Everything I Never Told You - $2,151,260 (-39.9%) Meme Th(II)eves - $1,106,183 (-69%) The Wild Thornberrys - $635,118 (-38.4%) Bailee Buckets: A Hoops Story - $480,987 (-67.9%) Rhino Riders 2 - $356,391 (-37.7%) July 19th-21st Animal Crossing Brings In the Families as The Exchange Brings In The Laughs New Journey Pictures Animation’s Animal Crossing manages to make some major bells this weekend with a whopping $47.7m opening making it the largest family film of the summer this year. While critics gave Animal Crossing the cold shoulder, audiences were more receptive with an “A-“ CinemaScore. With summer weekdays, a total of $150m+ is in order as well as potentially some nice overseas cheddar. Numerator’s teen comedy, The Exchange: Foriegn Studies was not foriegn to audiences as it bought in $15m. Scoring a strong “B+” CinemaScore, odds are The Exchange may prove to be a strong and consistent comedy franchise. Animal Crossing - $47,771,534 Fullmetal Alchemist: A Tale of Two Brothers - $18,557,237 (-58.9%) The Exchange: Foriegn Studies - $15,425,718 Mighty Fall - $11,360,508 (-47.2%) The Gnashing - $4,195,120 (-47.1%) Sandboy - $2,095,909 (-45.2%) Everything I Never Told You - $1,505,882 (-30%) Eminem-Esque - $1,323,893 (-55%) Rhino Riders 2 - $175,443 (-50.8%) Meme Th(II)eves - $171,458 (-84.5%) July 26th-28th Static Shock Recharges The Box Office as Fullmetal Becomes Fool’s Gold This summer was in dire need of a hero, and Static delivered. Endless Entertainment/DC’s Static Shock: Frozen Summer overperformed and opened with a whopping $87m, being the biggest opening of the summer since Mass Effect and the biggest non-Green Lantern Corps DC opening over Y4’s Blue and Gold, thanks to decent reviews and having a strong percentage of ticket sales by African Americans, who are an underserved audience in CAYOM. Frozen Summer, like it’s predecessor, scored an “A-“ CinemaScore. With light competition, Frozen Summer should make it to $250m domestic, ensuring a sequel is in the works. Meanwhile, Fullmetal Alchemist fell hard, dropping 65.4% as WOM and direct competition finally caught up to it. Static Shock: Frozen Summer - $87,125,145 Animal Crossing - $23,312,507 (-51.2%) The Exchange: Foriegn Studies - $8,437,868 (-45.3%) Fullmetal Alchemist: A Tale of Two Brothers - $6,420,804 (-65.4%) Mighty Fall - $5,339,439 (-53%) The Gnashing - $1,678,208 (-60%) Sandboy - $1,293,176 (-38.3%) Everything I Never Told You - $926,117 (-38.5%) Eminem-Esque - $750,647 (-43.3%) Rhino Riders 2 - $60,528 (-65.5%)

June 7th-9th Everything I Never Told You Takes The Number One Spot From Thornberrys In Photo Finish Weekend In a shocking upset, New Journey’s Everything I Never Told You opens on the higher end of tracking at $21m. The surprise? It overtook Thornberrys for the number one slot on the weekend. Thornberrys had the lead Friday but Everything had a stronger Saturday and Sunday. Meanwhile, Thornberrys is looking at a total under $130m domestic after a rough-ish fall of 53.8%. Sandboy also expand wider, netting a $2.01m weekend. Everything I Never Told You - $21,331,701 The Wild Thornberrys - $21,324,538 (-53.8%) Heartman - $9,890,099 (-46%) Rhino Riders 2 - $7,551,768 (-38.1%) Mass Effect: Revelation - $4,897,311 (-31.3%) Dealer’s Choice - $4,477,453 (-36.7%) Sandboy - $2,011,823 (+77.9%) Walking with Dinosaurs: The Cinematic Experience - $1,082,007 (-53%) Up in The Sky - $354,267 (-44.7%) The Insect God - $150,091 (-49%) June 14th-16th Sandboy Brings Forth A Breezy $20m Win as Bailee Has Buckets with a $12m Opening Blankments’ family fantasy drama Sandboy open on the high end of our tracking at a strong $20m. Despite Rhinos and Thornberrys having consumed a decent portion of families, WOM was the biggest draw as it scored an “A+” CinemaScore, causing it to grow unexpectedly overnight. With summer being extremely barren, a total of $70m is in sights. Meanwhile, Infinite’s latest installment of the Hoops series opened to $12m. Bailee Buckets dribbled up a strong “A-“ CinemaScore and should finish with a total similar to its’ Hoops brethren around $30m-$40m. Sandboy - $20,319,286 (+910%) Everything I Never Told You - $14,228,245 (-33.3%) Bailee Buckets: A Hoops Story - $12,317,913 The Wild Thornberrys - $10,576,971 (-50.4%) Heartman - $4,816,478 (-51.3%) Rhino Riders 2 - $3,973,230 (-47.4%) Dealer’s Choice - $2,552,148 (-43%) Mass Effect: Revelation - $2,517,218 (-48.6%) Walking with Dinosaurs: The Cinematic Experience - $411,163 (-62%) Up In The Sky - $127,536 (-64%) June 21st-23rd Sandboy Buries The Competition as Dave Day is a Box Office Casualty Sandboy manages to hold on to the top spot, only decreasing 32% with $13m for the weekend. The way things are going, Sandboy could challenge $80m. Meanwhile Dave-Day was less of a war and more of a squabble as it opened to barely over $5.5m. With WOM proving to be a non-factor as it scored a measly “C” CinemaScore, Dave-Day will likely not be a day to remember. Sandboy - $13,817,115 (-32%) Everything I Never Told You - $9,959,772 (-30%) Bailee Buckets: A Hoops Story - $5,912,253 (-52%) Dave-Day - $5,871,429 The Wild Thornberrys - $4,812,522 (-54.5%) Rhino Riders 2 - $2,391,282 (-39.8%) Heartman - $2,167,410 (-55%) Mass Effect: Revelation - $1,882,879 (-25.2%) Dealer’s Choice - $1,467,485 (-42.5%) Walking with Dinosaurs: The Cinematic Experience - $175,567 (-57.3%) June 28th-30th Mighty Fall has a Mighty Opening Phoenix Fire’s banger of a year continues as the animated/live action sci-fi epic Mighty Fall was able to open to a strong $75m thanks to position itself as the first big event since Mass Effect. Though it’s not as large as sci-fi darlings like “Spark”, “The Scavenger Wars”, “Mass Effect” or “Green Lantern Corps”, it is very healthy start. Audiences enjoyed it a fair bit as it scored a “B+” CinemaScore. Mighty Fall will continue to be mighty as it will likely walk past $200m. Mighty Fall - $75,542,847 Sandboy - $8,469,862 (-38.7%) Everything I Never Told You - $6,045,582 (-39.3%) Bailee Buckets: A Hoops Story - $2,926,565 (-50.5%) Dave-Day - $2,701,087 (-54%) The Wild Thornberrys - $2,502,511 (-48%) Rhino Riders 2 - $1,300,858 (-45.6%) Heartman - $1,083,708 (-50%) Mass Effect: Revelation - $1,157,971 (-38.5%) Dealer’s Choice - $699,991 (-52.3%)

May 3rd-5th Mass Effect: Revelation Revels In an Excellent First Weekend of Summer As expected, Numerator Productions’ Mass Effect: Revelation has the biggest opening weekend of the year at a whopping near $145m. Audiences this year have been craving some large scale spectacle and even though reviews weren’t as strong as the last two installment, audiences loved it giving it an “A-” CinemaScore. Only time will tell if it reaches the coveted $400 million mark. Mass Effect: Revelation - $144,557,142 The Insect God - $6,981,802 (-57.6%) Up In The Sky - $6,153,275 (-45%) No Mercy - $4,616,501 (-64.5%) Numbers Theory - $2,282,257 (-57.7%) The Idiots - $1,584,614 (-52.8%) Far Cry - $1,311,909 (-59.7%) Citizen Kale: A VeggieTales Movie - $1,172,429 (-46.6%) Snow Monkeys - $1,119,950 (-37.9%) Flightless Bird: The Downfall of the Boeing 747 MAX - $826,743 (-50%) May 10th-12th Revelation Repeats Big Splashes as Dinosaurs and Wet Willy Treads in the Water To the surprise of no one, Mass Effect: Revelation manages to repeat at the top of the box office, only falling 61% with $56.6m. Hopes for $400m may be dead but odds for $350m still look good. Workshop Inc.’s Walking With Dinosaurs: The Cinematic Experience and New Journey’s Wet Willy both debut to solid numbers, as the former pulls in $11m opening weekend while the later slightly outperforms tracking and opens to $13m. Dinosaurs pulled in an “A” CinemaScore as Wet Willy seems to be more of a drizzle than a tsunami with a “B-” CinemaScore. Mass Effect: Revelation - $56,666,401 (-60.8%) Wet Willy - $13,174,268 Walking with DInosaurs: The Cinematic Experience - $11,414,286 Up In The Sky - $4,110,388 (-33.2%) The Insect God - $3,560,719 (-49%) No Mercy - $2,308,251 (-50%) Numbers Theory - $1,179,927 (-48.3%) The Idiots - $966,614 (-39%) Citizen Kale: A VeggieTales Movie - $715,182 (-39%) Far Cry - $709,495 (-46.3%) May 17th-19th Rhino Riders 2 Ride Again into First Place, as Monster Bug Wars Fail to Get Audiences to Swarm to Theaters Rhino Riders 2, being the first major family film since Pokemon, stampedes up a big total at nearly $34m. Audiences seem to love the rhinos racing as well, getting an “A-” CinemaScore, as it should race past $100m domestic with ease, making a Rhino Riders 3 a strong possibility. Meanwhile, Phoenix Fire’s experiment of dual releasing similar “sequels” to Monster Bug Wars seems to have backfired. The Spider Path, was the stronger of the two in both opening weekend, at a miniscule $3,65m and weaker “C-” CinemaScore as The Scorpion Path barely holds up with $2,393,143 and an even weaker “D+” CinemaScore. Like most bugs, the life expectancy for both films will be short at best, before being squashed or consumed by a bigger film. Rhino Riders 2 - $33,957,792 Mass Effect: Revelation - $27,936,536 (-50.7%) Walking with Dinosaurs: The Cinematic Experience - $7,133,929 (-37.5%) Wet Willy - $6,086,512 (-53.8%) Monster Bug Wars: The Spider Path - $3,657,431 Up In The Sky - $2,560,772 (-37.7%) Monster Bug Wars: The Scorpion Path - $2,393,143 The Insect God - $1,883,620 (-47.1%) No Mercy - $1,075,645 (-53.4%) Numbers Theory - $678,458 (-42.5%) May 24th-26th/27th Heartman and Dealer’s Choice Provide Modest Numbers This Memorial Day Weekend Infinite Studios’ Heartman and New Journey’s Dealer’s Choice both open within the range of tracking during this modest Memorial Day weekend. The Carribean horror flick, Heartman opened with a solid $39.6m opening weekend and $47.4m for the four day weekend, however audience reception seems a bit more lukewarm at a “B+” CinemaSore due to lack of efficient scares, but Heartman should end up well over $100m domestic at the end of the run. The heist romantic thriller Dealer’s Choice pulled in $14.3m for the opening weekend and $17.5m for the four day weekend, also scoring a “B+” CinemaScore. Dealer’s Choice, provided a weak June apart from Mighty Fall, has a chance at getting a $50m domestic total. Meanwhile, Blankment’s family fantasy drama Sandboy pulls in an impressive $668k and came very close to the top ten for the four day weekend. Heartman - $39,642,852/$47,355,422 Rhino Riders 2 - $20,748,211/$27,335,325 (-38.9%) Mass Effect: Revelation - $15,085,729/$18,508,658 (-46%) Dealer’s Choice - $14,289,668/$17,532,713 Walking With Dinosaurs: The CInematic Experience - $4,287,491/$5,359,364 (-39.9%) Up In The Sky - $1,377,695/$1,772,119 (-46.2%) Monster Bug Wars: The Spider Path - $1,217,925/$1,424,972 (-66.7%) Wet Willy - $786,968/$944,362 (-67.1%) Monster Bug Wars: The Scorpion Path - $758,626/$887,592 (-68.3%) The Insect God - $700,707/$836,614 (-62.8%) Sandboy - $668,833/$836,041 May 31st-June 2nd The Wild Thornberrys Provides Theaters with Wild Numbers Despite negative reviews, Endless Entertainment/Nickelodeon’s The Wild Thornberrys was able to open within the middle of its wide end of tracking at $46m thanks to a mostly barren May. However, the general audiences seemed more mixed at a “B+” CInemaScore, meaning it will likely fall apart, and from what we have seen from overseas numbers so far, Thornberrys is highly unlikely to break even. Meanwhile, Sandboy gains more theaters and amasses a strong $1.13m. The Wild Thornberrys - $46,157,008 Heartman - $18,314,998 (-53.8%) Rhino Riders 2 - $12,199,948 Mass Effect: Revelation - $7,180,807 (-52.4%) Dealer’s Choice - $7,073,386 (-50.5%) Walking with Dinosaurs: The Cinematic Experience - $2,362,383 (-46.3%) Sandboy - $1,130,823 Up In The Sky - $640,628 (-53.5%) Monster Bug Wars: The Spider Path - $367,813 (-75.4%) The Insect God - $294,297 (-58%)

April 5th-7th Numbers Theory Brings In Strong Numbers Post Easter Weekend If there’s one star CAYOM audiences love, it’s Liam Nesson, as Numerator Productions’ Numbers Theory proves this to be true as it opens just $1m shy of $30m. Scoring a “B+” CinemaScore and only two weeks until No Mercy taking up the action nuts, Numbers Theory will rack up decent numbers. The holdovers also do well as Flightless Bird has another sub-30% drop. Numbers Theory - $29,085,714 Far Cry - $14,670,242 (-47.8%) Citizen Kale: A VeggieTales Movie - $9,029,465 (-48.7%) Flightless Bird: The Downfall of the Boeing 747 MAX - $7,123,355 (-29.2%) Tyler Perry’s 2 Big Families - $7,007,543 (-60.3%) Kings of The Six - $3,608,321 (-40.1%) Fable - $2,023,560 (-44%) Pokemon: The Case of The Orange Outrage - $1,991,849 (-42.5%) Holland Hannah - $1,123,489 (-41.4%) Recompense - $692,594 (-53.7%) April 12th-14th Numbers Theory Racks Up A Second Weekend Win, as Documentaries Document Decent Numbers Numbers Theory manages to easily repeat the number one spot in the box office this weekend. However, while none are as big as Flightless Bird, the three documentaries this weekend do pretty great regardless. The Idiots makes a triple at just above $8m, Snow Monkeys chatters away $6.6m as Doc Dreams dreams up $2.1m for just shooting the breeze. With all scoring in the A range, (Snow Monkeys at A-, Doc Dreams at A, and The Idiots at A+), all three could wind up with grosses of double digits. Numbers Theory - $15,938,971 (-45.2%) Far Cry - $9,315,604 (-36.5%) The Idiots - $8,156,894 Snow Monkeys - $6,685,714 Citizen Kale: A VeggieTales Movie - $5,724,681 (-36.6%) Flightless Bird: The Downfall of the Boeing 747 MAX - $4,352,370 (-38.9%) Tyler Perry’s 2 Big Families - $3,356,613 (-52.1%) Doc Dreams - $2,190,171 Kings of The Six - $1,955,710 (-45.8%) Pokemon: The Case of The Orange Outrage - $1,145,313 (-43.7%) April 19th-21st No Mercy and Up In The Sky Provide Box Office A Merciful Weekend Finally! A weekend where each film in the top ten is over $1m. As both films New Journey’s zombie action No Mercy roars loudly at near $35m and Phoenix Fire’s heartwarming family sci-fi Up in The Sky is just $1.2m shy of a $20m opening, open at the higher end of tracking. With No Mercy scores a “B” CinemaScore and Up in The Sky scores an “A-“ CinemaScore, if they can survive Mass Effect in a few weeks, they could be looking at some nice totals. No Mercy - $34,585,714 Up In The Sky - $18,771,429 Numbers Theory - $8,352,021 (-47.6%) The Idiots - $5,334,609 (-34.6%) Far Cry - $5,319,210 (-42.9%) Snow Monkeys - $4,131,771 (-38.2%) Tyler Perry’s 2 Big Families - $1,866,277 (-44.4%) Citizen Kale: A VeggieTales Movie - $3,291,692 (-42.5%) Flightless Bird: The Downfall of the Boeing 747 MAX - $2,807,279 (-35.5%) Doc Dreams - $1,557,212 (-28.9%) April 26th-28th The Insect God Given Healthy Tribute by Audiences Just because audiences await Mass Effect next weekend, doesn’t mean the film prior is chopped liver. The Workshop Inc.’s animated PG-13 sci-fi The Insect God, outperforms tracking opens pretty strongly for its budget and genre at just over $16m. Scoring a “B+” CinemaScore, The Insect God should be able to break even, so long as it’s not hit hard by Mass Effect. The Insect God - $16,466,515 No Mercy - $13,004,229 (-62.4%) Up In The Sky - $11,187,772 (-40.4%) Numbers Theory - $5,395,406 (-35.4%) The Idiots - $3,350,134 (-37.2%) Far Cry - $3,255,356 (-38.8%) Citizen Kale: A VeggieTales Movie - $2,195,559 (-33.3%) Snow Monkeys - $1,789,057 (-56.7%) Flightless Bird: The Downfall of the Boeing 747 MAX - $1,653,487 (-41.1%) Doc Dreams - $1,005,959 (-35.4%)

March 1-3: Fable Conjures Up A Respectable Opening as Flightless Bird Soars to Unimaginable Heights Numerator Productions’ Fable opens on the higher end of expectations at $46 million. Audiences were somewhat spellbinded with the film, having a “B+” CinemaScore, and should wind up with a total well over $120 million. Meanwhile, Cookie Pictures’ Flightless Bird, thanks to rave WOM and a surprisingly effective marketing campaign, was able to drastically over perform at an opening above $20 million. With an “A+” CinemaScore, Flightless Bird should easily fly over $100 million, maybe even much more. Meanwhile, the holdovers perform pretty decently. 1. Fable - $46,239,229 2. Flightless Bird: The Downfall of the Boeing 747 MAX - $21,912,320 3. Pokémon: The Case of The Orange Outrage - $21,868,111 (-47.4%) 4. Holland Hannah - $9,380,124 (-38.7%) 5. Romance Road - $4,136,722 (-44.8%) 6. Christie Moreno - $2,327,974 (-47.6%) 7. A Very Adam and Cindy Valentine - $1,747,258 (-49.9%) 8. Funny Business - $1,428,682 (-55.5%) 9. The Lost Empire - $1,059,641 (-50.4%) 10. Ms. Blakk 4 President - $1,004,887 (-17.4%) March 8-10: Fable and Flightless Remain on Top of the Perch, Recompense Makes A Decent Profit Fable and Flightless Bird perform pretty well on this largely uneventful weekend. Fable has a pretty normal fall of just slightly over 55%, with a total of $120 million still in sight, as Flightless Bird falls just under a 30% drop, as it could overtake Fable the next weekend if things continue. Meanwhile, New Journey’s Recompense opens on the lower end of tracking at just under $13 million. Luckily with a “B+” CinemaScore, it should leg out a nice total. Fable - $20,206,543 (-56.4%) Flightless Bird - $15,689,221 (-28.4%) Recompense - $12,902,892 Pokemon: The Case of the Orange Outrage - $12,661,636 (-42.6%) Holland Hannah - $6,050,180 (-35.5%) Romance Road - $2,246,240 (-45.7%) Christie Moreno - $1,110,444 (-53.2%) A Very Adam and Cindy Valentine - $1,128,729 (-35.4%) Funny Business - $714,341 (-50%) The Lost Empire - $694,065 (-34.5%) March 15-17th: Flightless Soars and Takes the Number One Spot, MEG Doesn’t Do Much Twerk In a shocking turn of events. Flightless Bird overtakes Fable for the number one spot, with a fall of just under 20%. With the way things are going, perhaps Bird could do over $125 million, and with a few more clutch wins, maybe $150 million. Infinite Studios’ MEG opens in line with both tracking and past non-Beyonce concert flicks at just under $6 million. Despite an “A” CinemaScore, MEG should fade away fast. Flightless Bird: The Downfall of the Boeing 747 MAX - $12,896,590 (-17.8%) Fable - $10,608,435 (-47.5%) Pokemon: The Case of the Orange Outrage - $8,268,048 (-34.7%) Recompense - $6,154,679 (-52.8%) MEG - $5,769,420 Holland Hannah - $4,368,230 (-28.8%) A Very Adam and Cindy Valentine - $690,782 (-38.8%) Christie Moreno - $600,750 (-45.9%) Ms. Blakk 4 President - $431,315 (-15%) Funny Business - $370,743 (-48.1%) March 22th-March 24th Far Cry Roars at The Box Office Phoenix Fire scores yet another hit this quarter, as Far Cry slightly overperforms opening weekend expectations as it opens to a strong $60 million. With an “A-” CinemaScore, Far Cry should wind up healthily over $150 million for its total. Meanwhile, holdovers continue to do well, although big numbers are sorely being missed, with 3 films having grosses lower than $500k. Far Cry - $60,308,823 Flightless Bird: The Downfall of the Boeing 747 MAX - $9,582,129 (-25.7%) Fable - $6,014,983 (-43.3%) Pokemon: The Case of the Orange Outrage - $5,010,437 (-39.4%) Recompense - $2,806,534 (-54.3%) Holland Hannah - $2,738,880 (-37.3%) MEG - $1,938,525 (-66.4%) A Very Adam and Cindy Valentine - $365,424 (-47.1%) Christie Moreno- $249,311 (-58.5%) The Lost Empire - $149,571 (-50%) March 29th-March 31st Far Cry Rules Easter as New Openers Provide Some Life into The Box Office As Easter weekend arrives, Far Cry manages to once again lead the pack, as it has a weekend of just under $30 million. Meanwhile, new family sequels opening, although modest, manage to make Easter not a complete loss. Infinite’s 2 Big Families and New Journey’s Citizen Kale open at 17m each, with 2 Big Families just slightly edging out the latter. Horizon’s hockey documentary Kings of the 6, lives up to its name and opens at $6 million. All three films have earned respectable WOM at an “A” CinemaScore, and should provide new life throughout April Far Cry - $28,103,912 (-53.4%) Tyler Perry’s 2 Big Families - $17,651,243 Citizen Kale: A VeggieTales Movie - $17,601,297 Flightless Bird: The Downfall of the Boeing 747 MAX - $10,061,236 (+0.5%) Kings of the 6 - $6,023,909 Fable - $3,747,334 (-37.7%) Pokemon: The Case of the Orange Outrage - $3,482,254 (-30.5%) Holland Hannah - $1,917,216 (-30%) Recompense - $1,495,883 (-44.7%) MEG - $897,537 (-53.7%)

February 2-4 (Super Bowl): Moreno Sweeps Super Bowl Weekend Off Its Feet Based on the game Tekken, Christie Moreno slightly overperforms Super Bowl weekend thanks to audiences in dire need of some new films and an non-tentpole action flick. With an “B+” CinemaScore, Moreno should have a pretty healthy run. As for holdovers, most films have taken slightly harsher drops due to the nature of Super Bowl weekend with Home Invasion taking the brunt of the blow, making a total under $30m, almost a guarantee. Christie Monteiro - $27,612,453 The Lost Empire - $9,310,241 (-48.9%) Home Invasion Part III: Hunted - $4,394,144 (-60.1%) Green Lantern Corps: Home - $3,915,881 (-45.6%) Temple Run - $3,488,338 (-40.7%) The Ends of the Universe - $3,204,285 (-46.9%) Birdwing - $1,819,356 (-24.3%) Ms. Blakk 4 President - $1,700,895 (-43.6%) White Wyvern - $1,534,750 (-49.1%) Gunman Clive - $1,324,140 (-47.9%) Top 10 Gross: $58,304,483 (+44% from Y7) (-3.4% from last weekend) February 9-11: Audiences Take A Drive Down Romance Road and Cuddle with Adam and Cindy Due to an underserved audience of African Americans (which the group made up 40% of the opening weekend), the fanbase of CAYOM starlet Naomi Scott and passable reviews for a romantic comedy, Infinite Studios’ Romance Road drastically overperformed its initial tracking and delivered an opening of nearly $34m. Romance Road scored a A- CinemaScore, indicating the film should cruise past $100m domestic. Phoenix Fire’s Adam and Cindy Valentine performed in line with what tracking said and had a solid little jump from the first film’s opening. With an A- CinemaScore, Adam and Cindy could survive before being annihilated by the newest Pokémon next weekend. Romance Road - $33,690,262 Christie Monteiro - $15,076,399 (-45.4%) A Very Adam and Cindy Valentine - $11,451,677 The Lost Empire - $5,539,593 (-40.5%) Green Lantern Corps: Home - $2,605,774 (-33.5%) Temple Run - $2,398,144 (-31.3%) The Ends of the Universe - $2,055,099 (-35.9%) Home Invasion Part III Hunted - $2,074,036 (-52.8%) Ms. Blakk 4 President - $1,476,108 (-13.2%) Birdwing - $1,044,772 (-42.6%) Top 10 Gross: $74,806,120 (-15.2% from Y7) (+28.3% from last weekend) February 16-18 (President’s Day): Pokémon Evolves Over The Competition as Funny Business Generates Decent Enough Laughs As per usual, the latest Pokémon installment; Pokémon: The Case of The Orange Outrage blows up the box office, with the second highest weekend for the franchise at nearly $120m for the three day and a whopping $150m for the four day. Numerator Pictures should be very pleased with the films’ box office and with an “A” CinemaScore, it’s clear audiences enjoy it also. The question is will it have enough legs to get the franchise past the coveted $300m domestic mark. Meanwhile, new studio, The Workshop Inc.’s Funny Business opens modestly at just above a $7.5M opening weekend. Despite being much raunchier, comparisons felt too similar to Who Framed Roger Rabbit and the recent Toons v Reality, Funny Business couldn’t stand out compared to its competition. However, audience enjoyed it well enough with a “B” CinemaScore, Funny Business could make have a respectable total over $20m. Holdovers continue to hold well as Romance Road manages to keep it together after Valentines Day, indicating it could go over 100m and Ms. Blakk has a nice rise over the previous weekend. Pokémon: The Case of The Orange Outrage - $118,481,929/$150,376,869 Romance Road - $18,057,980/$21,450,286 (-46.4%) Christie Monteiro - $9,392,597/$11,297,252 (-37.7%) Funny Business - $7,625,940/$10,213,802 A Very Adam and Cindy Valentine - $7,031,330/$9,380,741 (-38.6%) The Lost Empire - $3,794,621/$4,779,911 (-31.5%) Green Lantern Corps: Home - $2,015,987 / $2,488,665 (-22.6%) Temple Run - $1,850,998 / $2,311,930 (-22.8%) The Ends of the Universe - $1,630,173 / $2,019,783 (-20.7%) Ms. Blakk 4 President - $1,498,004 / $1,843,077 (+1.5%) Top 10 Gross: $170,379,559 (3-Day Only) (+127.8% from last weekend) (+34.5% from Y7) February 23-25: Pokémon Continues To Blast Off as Holland Hannah Rocks Out Second Place Orange Outrage continues its rampage at the box office, pulling above a $41.5m weekend. However, like all Pokémon movies, the second day weekend was brutal. Luckily, with Fable around the corner, perhaps Outrage could just slip by $300m. Alpha Pictures’ Holland Hannah outmuscled the tracking and delivered a rocking $15m opening weekend. With an “B+” CinemaScore, Hannah will definitely make a juicy profit for the studio, especially with its $7.5m budget. Pokémon: The Case of The Orange Outrage - $41,588,603 (-64.6%) Holland Hannah - $15,301,997 Romance Road - $7,494,062 (-58.5%) Christie Monteiro - $4,442,698 (-52.7%) A Very Adam and Cindy Valentine - $3,487,540 (-50.4%) Funny Business - $3,210,521 (-58.9%) The Lost Empire - $2,136,372 (-43.7%) Ms. Blakk 4 President - $1,216,101 (-18.8%) Temple Run - $1,204,282 (-34.9%) Green Lantern Corps: Home - $1,184,754 (-41.2%) Top 10 gross: $79,068,069 (-53.6% of last weekend) (-17.7% from Y7)

January 5-7 Green Lantern and Ends Bring Home Post-Holiday Green, Losers Weep for Small Numbers Once again, the holdovers dominate the first weekend of the year, with sci-fi spectacles Green Lantern Corps: Home and The Ends of The Universe taking the top 2 spots. The top 10 this year had a sizable jump from last year, pushing this weekend grosses a few hairs above $100m. Numerator Productions’ Losers Weepers took the fourth slot this weekend, doing about the same as its predecessor, bringing home around $6.2M. Audiences were also not as impressed this time around as Losers Weepers scored a CinemaScore of a “C-“, due to the flat characters and sense of graphic dark comedy not landing. Green Lantern Corps: Home - $28,238,844 (-45.8%) The Ends of the Universe - $22,477,095 (-44.3%) Temple Run - $16,891,626 (-34.6%) Losers Weepers - $6,213,504 Birdwing - $6,162,445 (-24.8%) Making Waves 2 - $6,013,854 (-32.2%) Until Dawn - $5,107,881 (-54.0%) Ms. Blakk 4 President - $3,898,115 (-30.6%) The Gift of Life - $2,910,246 (-52.3%) Tower of Babylon - $2,728,665 (-35.8%) Top 10: $100,642,275 (+21.9% from Y7) January 12-15 (MLK Jr. Weekend): The Lost Empire Rules Over The Competition, Gunman Clive Shoots Blanks Phoenix Fire Studios’ scores it’s first major hit since Tony Hawk: Pro Skater last fall as The Lost Empire overperformed its initial tracking to pulling off a four day weekend of almost $70m. Despite a strong holiday season, audiences have been craving a new tentpole feature causing The Lost Empire to overperform pulling similar numbers to Endless Entertainment’s discarded Treasure Planet series. With an “A“ CinemaScore, only time will tell if The Lost Empire will hit the $200m domestic mark, however the road for that seems very difficult. Gunman Clive, on the other hand flew under the radar, performing on pace with lower end of tracking, pulling in a four day of just about $15.5m. Scoring a middling “B” CinemaScore due to the lackluster humor and oddly zany premise, Clive is likely to fade away fastly after the opening and duck under the radar. The Lost Empire - $59,490,595/$69,512,759 Green Lantern Corps: Home - $16,989,435 / $21,237,195 (-39.8%) The Ends of the Universe - $13,276,967 / $16,604,873 (-40.9%) Gunman Clive - $12,563,702/$15,423,918 Temple Run - $11,515,012 / $14,400,979 (-31.8%) Birdwing - $4,413,794 / $6,058,144 (-28.4%) Losers Weepers - $3,218,595/$3,808,141 (-48.2%) Making Waves 2 - $3,455,112 / $4,315,878 (-42.5%) Ms. Blakk 4 President - $3,305,775 / $4,133,226 (-15.2%) Until Dawn - $2,818,766 / $3,514,169 (-44.8%) Top 10 (3-Day): $131,047,753 (+18.4% from Y7) (+30.2% from last weekend) January 19-21: The Lost Empire Resurfaces at Number One, White Wyvern Fails to Captivate Audiences The Lost Empire rules the box office once more as it holds on tightly, dropping just under 49% bringing home a $30.5M weekend. With no other blockbusters until Pokémon in sight, The Lost Empire should pull in a total over $180M. Holds continue to be solid for the Christmas holdovers while the the newer films outside of The Lost Empire fail to keep up momentum. To add insult to injury, New Journey’s White Wyvern fails to be a sight for audiences as it pulls in an opening just under $6m. With word of mouth being quite toxic with a “D+” CinemaScore, White Wyvern is destined to be extinct. The Lost Empire - $30,518,675 (-48.7%) Green Lantern Corps: Home - $10,354,773 (-39.1%) The Ends of the Universe - $9,105,144 (-31.4%) Temple Run - $7,788,669 (-32.4%) White Wyvern - $5,612,338 Gunman Clive - $5,176,245 (-58.8%) Birdwing - $3,028,774 (-31.4%) Ms. Blakk 4 President - $2,216,821 (-32.9%) Making Waves 2 - $1,850,885 (-46.4%) Losers Weepers - $1,448,368 (-55%) Top 10 Gross: $71,924,447 (+1.006% from Y7) (-45.1% from last weekend) January 26-28: The Lost Empire Retains the Box Office Crown, Home Invasion Fails To Get Audiences From Their Homes As usual for the past few weekends, The Lost Empire remains on top of the box office with an $18m third weekend. Empire seems to be also doing very well overseas maintaining solid holds, and likely to be Phoenix Fire’s biggest film both domestic and worldwide, giving the new studio a win and maybe a franchise. Home Invasion, on the other hand fails to hold captive a sizable audience. Having a record low opening for the franchise at $11m, despite the hook of uniting the two leads of the previous films, Home Invasion is unlikely to make it past $30m domestic, especially with rancid reviews and a tepid “C” CinemaScore. The Lost Empire - $18,219,649 (-40.3%) Home Invasion: Part III: Hunted - $11,012,892 Green Lantern Corps: Home - $7,197,554 (-30.5%) The Ends of the Universe - $6,034,884 (-33.7%) Temple Run - $5,886,077 (-24.4%) Ms. Blakk 4 President - $3,015,881 (+36.0%) Gunman Clive - $2,541,536 (-50.9%) Birdwing - $2,404,449 (-20.6%) Tower of Babylon - $2,115,017 (+56.5%) White Wyvern - $1,941,869 (-65.4%) Top 10 Gross: $60,369,808 (-12.7% from Y7) (-16.1% from last weekend)

Dropping hot in here in 1 hour and give or take fifteen minutes from now.

I’d like to throw my hat in the pool if I may cause I’ve been missing box office predictions: BW: 85m/225m TSS: 50m/120m Shang-Chi: 65m/75m/185m V2: 80m/200m HTT: 40m/130m NTTD: 80m/220m HK: 55m/130m Dune: 40m/100m Eternals: 90m/275m Top Gun: 45m/150m Encanto: 45m/70m/200m NWH: 145m/475m Matrix 4: 45m/65m/300m (assuming HBO Max duel release doesn’t happen) Sing 2: 25m/50m/175m Small chance imho Space Jam and Snake Eyes overperform.

Yes but if you read what I’d say and pay attention to the slate most of them are sequels correct. And I said what about solos?

Strong number for Widow, around what I was expecting. I think pre pandemic it’d be a bit higher but I think it could’ve done about the same. Doctor Strange numbers are still a good result for this one. Shang-Chi - 185/560 Eternals - 275/775 NWH - 475/1300, provided no virus surge DSitMOM - 325/900 TLaT - 425/1100 BPWF - 600/1250 Marvels - 425/1200 AMatWQM - 285/835 GoTGv3 - 375/1000 I think we got spoiled by Phase 3’s performance and started to think 300m DOM and 1b WW is the norm for the MCU films. Black Panther was the first large scale African American blockbuster movie that had cultural impact as Captain Marvel was an essentially part of Endgame and was viewed as must see as well as was the MCU first female lead movie. Not to mention things like Homecoming and Ragnarok had popular heroes already established as well as being team ups. I also think Phase 3 is arguably the big peak of the MCU as it was viewed as an event while Phase 4 is more akin to Phase 1 in new characters and stories as well as having Disney+ shows arguably diluting the must need to see urge. Sure, Shang Chi is the first Asian American hero and I think without Covid and in the old 2/12/21 slot would’ve broken out but I think the difference in audience being served and representation is different than in the case of Black Panther. I think we’ll see more solo movies like Blade or F4 around Doctor Strange numbers than Panther or CM numbers which is nothing to feel bad about. I also think the larger team ups will be more around CW and IM3 than Avengers or IW.

I hope F9 can give us some more big numbers.

Lol. Bono lion quit music cause his wife died is something I expect Illumination not to handle well. I mean wasn’t that also like the first film. But yeah, I can see a drop but not as harsh. With No Way Home likely being a bigger takeaway from children’s eyeballs than Rouge One was for the original Sing, I expect it not to survive as well. Think it’ll do around 150m-175m domestic.

Damn we would had a Lego Superfriends movie.

After much wait and my finals... December As Fast As I Can - C- I’d like to welcome @Safeno Rdz to the game and look forward to future films. As Fast As I Can has a lot of great elements like Cuaron and a well assembled cast. The movie while has a solid foundation, ends at what is seemingly supposed to be the first act, making the viewers wondering if the other two acts. It’s not a bad debut feature or film but was hoping for more. Christmas Shopping - B-/B Slam, I forgot to mention this too in my honorable mentions. Christmas Shopping is a well made Christmas film with a really strong third act. My problem with the film is that I didn’t find it too engaging for me. However, I think that’s just me personally. Nonetheless, I’m sure Christmas Shopping will charm audiences this holiday. Dreams - B- While it’s nice to have an anthology film once again, I didn’t really care much for Dreams. Apart from the final short, none of the others really stuck out but they were entertaining nonetheless. Sins of Our Fathers - B+ Y’know maybe there’s something to Awkwafina pulling off double nominations for Best Actress this year. Sins of The Fathers is a delightful breath of fresh air as far as big sci-fi films go in CAYOM as it takes Numerators’ success with crime thriller and puts it in the backdrop of outer space. I did find some elements familiar but that’s not really a detriment. Wii Fit - C You know what, I got to agree that this is the best Wii installment of the franchise as while the melodrama is upped its enjoyable
