Are you more happy that i remembered you?

Or less happy that I didn't notice you?

You better believe I'll get in, then. 

[kayumanggi]

How many hours do I have?

 

Btw, sorry @AndyLL, I couldn't join the Derby League. I have so many things to do.

26 and a bit

I love the day the summer season begins.  This game is imo, one of the best parts of the summer here on the forums.  Thanks again Chas and Jajang for keeping it going!

Ditto!

 

Here we go!

 

Edit - Having a hard time deciding whether or not to edit my preseason. Did badly on Week 0 so the cost isn't high, but I'm actually still pretty happy with my picks. Maybe tonight.

eh fuck it I'm not gonna change my preseason. I want to drop Tag for Sicario, but I don't think I'll lose accuracy points if it doesn't make the list.

How good are the chances Fallout comes out in July/August in China?

Answer: likely non-existent, since last year Spider-Man, Apes and Dunkirk all weren't released till September. Same deal with RN in 2015.

 

Note to self: in the future, try not to cram practically this whole thing into a single day. Only just finished. Looking at others' predictions, my most daring/dumb predictions are that Skyscraper pulls a White House Down domestically, and Tag becomes this year's Neighbors/We're the Millers/Bridesmaids etc. Almost left it off entirely but then bothered to actually watch the trailer and was surprised by how appealing it looked. If any R-rated comedy (or anything at all) is gonna overperform big this summer it's that one.

I left Ant-Man and Skyscraper in but I'm really nervous about both. Looking at the past few years, basically no major Hollywood tentpoles have been released in China between the first week of July and the last week of August. That seems to be a period reserved for your Monster Hunts and Wolf Warriors and other homegrown blockbusters. Don't be shocked if Deadpool and even Solo appear in the top 5 in the end.

I think The Meg might slide in on the virtue of being a co-production. I think I'm way overpredicting it but fuck it. Everyone sucks at the China predictions anyway.

I think I have Mama Mia way too low (116) but I'm not changing anything either.

[MovieMan89]

Toying with changing mine. I have like 15mins to decide. 

[Jake Gittes]

I see Mamma Mia having a slightly better decrease than Sex and the City 2 and Magic Mike XXL had compared to their predecessors. 25/100 or thereabouts.

[JJ-8]

If my calculations are right we are inside 3 hours to go

 

and I've decided not to edit my preseason - leaving the good the bad and the ugly.... and i'm sure I've got all 3 down pat ! ... just hoping more good than anything else
