We have the same except Alien Covenant and PP3. So, PP3 has to make more than $74,262,031 exactly. PP2 did over $69 M in it's first weekend. It won't do that well in December, but I'm confident.

If I win it's because of my #19 and #20 (Boss Baby and PP3) picks and what I almost went with (The Star, Alien, Ninjago, Blade Runner were four of the five I cut + Jumanji).
Tenet: Criterion Edition. Now with more Backwards Man.

Oooooh I'm far this season. I hope Pitch Perfect and Jumanji will make me climb a bit before the end.

UPDATE

In billions

UDM: 4,992
Six: 4,987
W: 4,985
Jas: 4,905
Chien: 4,887
Tranny: 4,871
Ron B: 4,869
Spectre: 4,842
Walleye: 4,841
Brock: 4,815
Shaan: 4,759
Banks: 4,656



Well, Jumanji 2 was quite the game-changer, and with UDM without it, it looks like he will be knocked off the top spot. However, it's so damn tight (that's what she said). Chien still has Pitch Perfect 3 earning cash, par example.

Final update will come in about 2-3 weeks time.

2018 launch coming sooner.

FINAL RESULTS


In billions

Six: 5,213
Chien: 5,147
Jas: 5,132
W: 5,113
Tranny: 5,097
UDM: 5,086
Brock: 5,075
Ron B: 4,997

Walleye: 4,936
Shaan: 4,887

Wow, quite surprised I won this, considering I had The Dark Tower on my slate. But like 6 others, Jumanji was what vaulted me to the top. Thank you, shallow 90s nostalgia!

And well done to Chien for coming 2nd. If he had picked anything other than Baywatch he might have nailed it.

Thanks to everyone for competing, looking forward to seeing how 2018 turns out.

Thanks, I'm glad I arrived second !! Congrats to you.
But actually, I didn't have Baywatch on my slate...... I did have Ninjago though which wasn't a good pick.

Ah you're right, I was looking at Jas's slate. Yeah, Ninjago looked like a good option but I didn't pick it as I felt it aimed more towards boys and so any families with girls would avoid. Also, it's a TV series so this doesn't look like anything new or different.
