Wooooooowwwwww ???? What the !!!
No message of mine got through during the weekend ??!! I exploded my cell phone subscriptions to keep an eye on the boards all weekend !!! I PMed Banks and emailed Shryke 15 hours or so ago that I was picking Tintin as my 1st round film... I was trying to post from a telephone in Brussels, but my messages were not appearing on the boards, so I preferred to send you guys my pick by email to be sure.... But it seems none of you received my email.
I'm disgusted and devastated :(

Yeah, I didn't get a PM at all. God damn Brussels...!

But while you're here, pick! So that I can go and we can rush W. into making some bad decisions.

I could sense that Chien wanted Tintin. Seeing that he loved the film and all.

Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close and Dragon Tattoo. Almost didn't take Tattoo just to go for #1 in PTA, but if I'm putting my faith in it to win the Full Year, I might as well put my faith in it to win this league instead of just trying to place top 4.
Tenet: Criterion Edition. Now with more Backwards Man.

It's very likely to get almost 3,000 theatres on opening weekend. With current tracking in the mid teens, that would mean a $5,000 opening weekend PTA on The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.

Seems like we're sticking close to what we think will do well.

Although I am surprised to see Jack & Jill go so early in an Ultimate league, you just know it'll have a terrible IMDb score, and personally, I don't think it'll do too well.
