But you're not taking into account the $240M that Chipmunks is going to pull in.
Oh God please...

I picked Fantastic Four at #2 too in Division A (instead of MI5 after a long hesitation, dammit), but I most certainly won't let myself get dragged down to division B, I have faith in my slate, despite Fantastic Four and Aloha. I'm staying put in A !!!
I think we should definitely have a debate where everyone gets to argue that they made the worst possible pick. Winner/Loser gets a free ride in the Wambulance. I'll have to decide between the Good Dinosaur in round 1 or Paper Towns in round 5. Both bombs on a relative scale.
Certainly a crappy pick - but you figure your 4th round pick should have made you - on average - $80-111 million. Good Dinosaur should have cleared $200 even $250 for a 1st round pick. I think my pick is still pretty sucky.

I think I'd come in last in this game. I went Star Wars, Martian, Kung Fu Panda, Trainwreck, Zoolander, Poltergeist, Creed. KFP and Zoolander could flounder, though. All the rest save my 13th rounder (War Room) were pretty awful.
CHANGES MADE to my slate:
Switched Super Troopers for I Saw the LIght (I grabbed it a while ago)
Changed the date of Somnia from TBA to 4/8
Dropped: Snowden and Kidnap
Added: Lights Out and The Other Side of the Door
Tenet: Criterion Edition. Now with more Backwards Man.
Hey Shryke, I swapped Money Monster for Carol awhile back. As it's now in play I figured I should mention it again. Don't think it'll pull me into contention or anything, but I need all the help I can get!
