Budgets: Jackie = 9m (indiewire) Hidden Figures = 15m (estimate) live by night = 65m (entertainment weekly) Silence = 50m (uk independent) Patriots Day = 50m (Forbes) (sorry about the slow update... been a little crazy in the past week or so )

Damn. Missed this week fully.

Tbh while the weeklies and SOTMs mean something. This game is all about the preseason! a good to great preseason can win this game anywhere. I think chewy proved that in the summer game when he nearly won that game after sitting outside the top 20 before preseasons were scored.

Overall scores.... lead by spaghetti at this early point.
