Some of them (like Pikachu himself) look cuddly as fuck though.

Also, only a couple of days left to get in your picks! (or edit the ones you've already made because you are regretting your choices)

Then we'll see what the non-Avengers summer can bring.

It's insane.
Did you want to award me the prize now, or should we play out the string?

So, Aladdin's amking quite a splash and it probably will outrun both Pikachu and Wick today or tomorrow. This means it definitely ends up in Top 5, bringing Disney sweet dollars.
John Wick is doing extremely well as many of you expected. It's quite possible that it will be more successful than Pikachu. Both films should end up in the lower half of the top ten.
Well we're one month in and Wick 3 is doing crazy money. It's looking to beat both Detective Pikachu and Godzilla based on opening weekends (Wick 3 made 56mil, pikachu 54mil and godzilla looks to do 50mil)

Of the other major contenders Aladdin is doing alright (sitting at near 200mil after two weekends). But there are a bunch of movies yet to come!

But current standings (after only one month, so these are not even close to final):
oddRABBIT: 26 points
pianotm: 24 points
Addit: 23 points
AtiyaTheSeeker: 16 points
kory_toombs: 14 points
Cap_H: 13 points

So….lemme get this straight…

I haven’t gone to the theatres to see a new movie in over a year…haven’t watched a new movie on demand since last month…entered this thing with a vague idea about what I thought would do well at the box office…and you're telling me that I’m only three points back from top spot currently…?

Meanwhile...! I watch and follow the NHL pretty regularly...should be winning the hockey pool by a country mile over every one else…currently two points back from that thing from being in dead last myself...whereas in this thing, I have more points than both Kentona and Shinan combined...AND THEY BOTH GO TO THE MOVIES MORE THAN I DO!!! Heck, this is even Shinan’s own thread and he’s currently in last place!

(Hey...wait a minute - I just realized something…! Shinan’s own thread…currently in last place… Addit’s own thread, two points back from being in last place… Coincidence...???)

Obviously I would imagine that things will change throughout the summer and all that. But, in the meantime – I’m pretty satisfied at where I’m at right now.

I feel bored. How odd.

I don't even watch movies and apparently I'm in first place? Surely not for long.
Goddammit, I just realized I had a mistake in my ordering, based on my estimates. I had Aladdin and Secret Life of Pets 2 flipflopped. (Aladdin was my #4). Which sucks, because Pets is underperforming my estimates to boot.

John Wick 3 is slightly overperforming my estimates, but Godzilla is underperforming. Pikachu and Aladdin are slightly below my estimates, too.


jun19value (estimate)
1. The Lion King - (450m)
2. Toy Story 4 - (430m)
3. Spider-Man: Far From Home - (303m)
4. The Secret Life of Pets 2 - 95m (255m)
5. Aladdin - 266m (290m)
6. F&F: Hobbs & Shaw - (180m)
7. Detective Pikachu - 141m (160m)
8. Yesterday - (155m)
9. Godzilla: King of the Monsters - 95m (150m)
10. John Wick 3 - 150m (130m)

Men in Black: International 33m (120m)
Dark Phoenix 53m (121m)
Rocketman 68m (108m)
Well another month has passed so time to check up on some movies!

There's been some rather big disappointments (in that they haven't made money, no judgement on the quality of the actual films) which is shaping up to make this quite interesting.

Now Spider-Man is just days away to completely mess up the rankings. But for now these are the rankings that Toy Story 4 has managed to stir up.

Current Rankings (might be wrong because last time I doublechecked after posting and some of my point values were wrong, but whatever who checks, right?):
Shinan: 46 points (+38)
Addit: 40 points (+17)
pianotm: 39 points (+15)
oddRABBIT: 36 points (+10)
Cap_H: 33 points (+20)
kory_toombs: 32 points (+18)
kentona: 30 points (+21)
AtiyaTheSeeker: 24 points (+8)

I noticed I had quite the rise in this month. That's because Men in Black and Dark Phoenix underperformed and are currently at the bottom of the top10, meaning they'll drop out very soon turning my current 14 points for those into 0 points...

(Current top10 1.Aladdin 310m, 2. Toy Story 4, 250m, 3 John Wick 3, 160m, 4. Pokemon, 140m, 5. Pets 2, 130m, 6. Godzilla 2, 110m, 7. Rocketman 85m, 8. Men in Black, 70m, 9. Dark Phoenix, 65m, 10. Ma, 45m)

I think I'm running quite strong with all four remaining big releases being on my list and having a good chance of making it.
Two mistakes will cost me possible first place. Not putting John Wick on my list and putting Pokemon as #2.
I think Shinan has a solid chance winning if Toy Story manages to gross more than Lion King, which isn't entirely unlikely.
The only other real contender is Kentona imo. His list is bulletproof and positioning of individual titles is solid.
I am the only contender. The rest of you are pretenders.

Fun fact: Cap_H, Addit, oddRABBIT, AtiyatheSeeker, and I also listed The Lion King as number 1. I wonder what that will do for the standings?
