What a climb from Spectre. Damn.He's really the man to beat now. He's still got Death Wish, Rampage... Damn. I'll leave him the 3rd place, but I fully intend to catch Six and Geezer back later. Spectre though, I don't know if that will be possible...

The Star!? What was I thinking

Moral of the story here is... don't drink and draft kids.

As much as I’d take every dollar I can get at this point, I don’t own Lean on Pete, that one is Chien’s.

I did just get an extra week of Rampage though

I have Tomb Raider in this league.

Alright, lead the way, Spectre, I'll follow you. I'm glad I still got my #4 and #2 films set to open, plus a trio of small films that will add a bit.

The way this year is shaping up, that one week might make all the difference. That and how well RPO opens and holds.

I still think Chien is in the driver's seat unless Ready Player One flops. Either way, it should be a really exciting finish

So I don't think Spectre has enough to beat me, unless Blockers is a total bomb. But top spot is between Chien and Geezer for sure. Chien should be good for about 200m (although that low 30s prediction for Ready Player One was surprising), so it's gonna be tight between the two. It may all be down to Lean on Pete

Critics are liking Blockers thus far, so it shouldn't bomb. Audiences will probably want to see John Cena chug a beer anally.

I don't know about Spectre. Black Panther still has at least $70M to bring him, and he's got Rampage which should also be good for at least $60M, if you add the remains of Death Wish, Traffik and all, I can see Spectre bringing another $150M to his total, which would put him around 1,315 billion. So you're gonna need $100M out of Blockers and Dolphin to remain ahead of him.

Geezer needs more than $35M out of Strangers, Peter Rabbit and Fifty Shades. It's gonna be close.

And so I need more than $230M out of Pacific Rim, Midnight Sun, Lean on Pete and Ready Player One. If I can get around $70M out of the first 3 and what's left in Jumanji and Hurricane Heist, it means I need at least $160M out of Ready Player One. Tracking is a bit low for that, but the word of mouth out of the SXSW screening and first press screenings is amazing, it might do it.

I think all in all it's all gonna be really close between the four of us, and it's gonna be the tightest finish ever in the yearly draft game.

Ah, missed Spectre having Rampage. Damn, I'm going to miss the podium. For next year I'm going to adopt the strategy of the Russians and cheat, cheat, cheat.

Wait a minute, are you insinuating that someone is cheating here with the help of the Russians ?
Careful what you say Six, this is not the White House, it won't go unpunished if it's true !
