I'm taking #10 this month... as long as Jump Street does at least $40 M and Wrath's OW doesn't gross $20 M more than it does in three weeks.

I also still have $77 in 5 movies coming for ultimate, so I wonder how far I'll climb there.

Three of the long standing (and for some suffering) regulars going to the death for the January Regulars Ultimate title! I've never won ultimate, would be awesome to do so but it's all very close at the moment...

I am going to try to make it, from here on out, that every week on the calendar there will be between five and seven films to pick from for game purposes (esp. in the first week of any month, so that PTA points aren't left unclaimed). (I know some weekends simply don't have that many scheduled, but if there are, I will fill any necessary spots so as to make this happen.)

As far as April goes, since Cold Light of Day has packed up and moved to fall, I have replaced it on the master list with Italian drama We Have a Pope, which currently has a User Rating of 6.9 (with over 3,000 votes). I have priced it at $3 in Ultimate, $1 in Box Office.

It's too bad that SuperShaan and Samiam1000 called it quits. It now seems that three former Fantaversians that I coaxed back into the game will be pulling out: Ipkissthesavage, HeroicEkin and helfy917.

HeroicEkin and Samiam have both expressed their desire to withdraw. The other three have simply failed to return any of my many e-mails.

The good news is, their withdrawal means fewer active players will be eliminated in Round One. Everyone but Samiam was entered in all four tournaments (Samiam was entered in all but the Ult HY).

Here is the number of players whose elimination still has to be determined:

Ult FY - 1
Ult HY - 7
BO FY - 1
BO HY - 7

I hope that no one has to quit from here on out!

55-59. helfy917, HeroicEkin, Ipkissthesavage, Samiam1000, SuperShaan (W/D)

Such a pity SuperShaan bowed out… he’d be in a definite position to cop an IM!

59-63. helfy917, HeroicEkin, Ipkissthesavage, Samiam1000, SuperShaan (W/D)

My IM, which I thought was in the bank, may not happen at all. It looks like Jump Street will push aquamann and Chien past me. Which means I need to hope that Wrath of the Titans opens to less than $40 million. Gulp…

As for who is out, it looks like a dead heat between smee and Frendo. Can Frendo’s Wrath OW outdo smee’s Carter/Mirror combo?



Box Office Half-Year (1) Round One (2 weeks left)

54-58. helfy917, HeroicEkin, Ipkissthesavage, Samiam1000, SuperShaan (W/D)

Only three people passed on Hunger Games that have less than $500M, so they are probably doomed. Which means a few people will have Hunger Games and still be out… ROBdude and smee000 will probably be gone. For the others, it will all depend on how well Wrath of the Titans opens.
