Pokemon just revealed the SV DLC OST and it consists entirely of stolen fan-music from YouTube. How is this legal? And the musitians can't even fight it in court because they're poor hobbyists fighting a billion dollar corporation.

Summer Movie Wager

Yeah that dark money certainly messed up the list quite a bit.

Summer Movie Wager

Things are happening fast now and I want to save this temporary snapshot while Barbenheimer and Sound of Freedom are shooting up the ranks. Mostly to witness my gigantic downfall.
After this weekend the top 10 looks to be as follows: 1. Spider-Verse, 2. Guardians 3, 3. Barbie, 4. The Little Mermaid, 5. Oppenheimer, 6. Indy 5, 7. Transformers, 8. Sound of Freedom, 9. Fast X, 10. Elemental

Which means the current scores are:
1. kentona, 50 points
2. frogge, 48 points
3. Dudesoft, 40 points
3. Darken, 40 points
5. pianotm, 37 points
6. Shinan, 31 points

But by this time next week everything is likely to have changed again. My prediction is that Fast X will leave the top 10 completely as Elemental and Mission Impossible (currently #11) will pass it. Sound of Freedom will continue its insane rise and will close in on Indy 5 (or pass it). Barbie will be the new #1
I feel like Oppenheimer is a bit too far away from Little Mermaid to pass it but who knows, anything can happen.

Well Barbie happened. And it ended up with the year's biggest opening weekend. Combined with Oppenheimer this weekend was apparently the biggest box office weekend since Avengers: Endgame

And that means that Barbie shot up to 4th place overall this summer just after its first three days. With the top 10 movies currently being: 1. Spider-Verse 2, 2. Guardians 3, 3. The Little Mermaid, 4. Barbie, 5. Indy 5, 6. Transformers (some number), 7. Fast X, 8. Elemental, 9. Sound of Freedom, 10. Mission Impossible 7

That means that our scores are currently as follows:
1. kentona, 57 points
2. Dudesoft, 44 points
3. frogge, 43 points
3. Darken, 43 points
5. Shinan, 42 points
6. pianotm, 34 points

Lots will still happen. Sound of Freedom's weird march to the top seems to continue and messing up everyone's lists. Barbie will probably rise even further and possibly take the top spot, messing up everyone's lists and Oppenheimer is going to take a spot possibly pushing Mission Impossible or Elemental completely off the top 10.

Then there's still movies like TMNT and Haunted Mansion coming up but they are unlikely contenders at this point.

Baldur's Gate 3 lets you frick a bear... no, I'm not making this up. How is this allowed?

Druids gotta druid

Summer Movie Wager

These are preliminary numbers after this weekend. But I thought I'd do my next update when we had a new number one movies of the summer which either happens this weekend or then happens on Monday. (It's Spider-Verse 2)

So the top 8 summer movies are currently: Spider-Verse 2, Guardians 3, The Little Mermaid, Transformers, Fast X, Indy 5, Elemental and The Flash.

And with that standing the Movie Wager standing is as follows:
Frogge: 41 points
kentona: 39 points
Dudesoft: 39 points
Darken: 37 points
Shinan: 34 points
pianotm: 31 points

The big movies still coming are Mission Impossible next weekend and then Barbie and Oppenheimer and then a bit later TMNT.

I had bet on Ruby Gillman which bombed hard. Elemental has had quite some staying power but I did bet it to be higher than it is likely to be and The Flash was a gigantic bomb as we all know. Oh and... Indy 5 has no chance of getting the #1 slot that I bet it at. But it's doing okay numbers and will probably at least beat the overperforming (to me) Transformers (which just overtook Fast X)

Summer Movie Wager

Yeah Flash flopped hard and the way it is dropping (below Elemental in both's sixth day and Elemental was also a bit of a flop) it might not even end up in the top 10 at the end of the summer...
Seems there are no massive releases this weekend so this would have been great if The Flash had been better, to reign supreme for a second weekend. Instead I bet Spiderverse 2 is going to take in a whole bunch of money. (and maybe even pass Guardians 3)

Recommend me a game with villain as protagonist

How did I miss that the original topic creator added spam into their post at some point and that this was damn spammer all along.

I still can't believe guardians made more than spiderverse?? The movie I've seen like 5 people talk about made more money than the one that's literally an internet sensation right now??? I see like 10 drawings of miguel o hara's ass on my twitter timeline every day?????? (Perhaps that's just very telling about me)

Looking at the day-by-day Spider-Verse 2 is beating Guardians 3:

https://www.the-numbers.com/movie/Guardians-of-the-Galaxy-Vol-3-(2023)#tab=box-office
After 15 days in theaters Spider-Verse 2 is at 261m and after 15 days in theaters Guardians 3 was at 243m. It's going to be very close considering all the competition that is coming up but we'll see.

The Flash's Friday was about half that of Spider-Verse 2 and Guardians 3 so it doesn't look like it's going to beat those. It seems to be more in the Fast X and Transformers range. So it seems I bet a bit much on Keaton :D
