This thread will be used to track everyone's predictions from baumer's Summer game. This thread will be updated at least once a week. Please note that I will be posting everyone's predictions along with the CURRENT GROSS of the movies (not the projected gross). And just as I've done the last several years, I have organized the list in order of the dates the movies are released. I welcome everyone's feedback and suggestions! HERE WE GO!

Thanks
