Just checked back over last year's thread and a decision was made to cut off in March. So I guess that's the way it will work this year too.

I have a question...do December films only count for how much they make in December alone? Or will the tally for this be taken, say in February or March, to allow it's total BO to come in?
Shame on you Brock for not reading the first post ;)

Winner will be announced at the end of Jan, so BO for both Dec and Jan will be counted for December releases.

Ooh, nice list Brock. Don't know if I would go with after earth though. Yes will smith is almost always a guaranteed blockbuster but still it's shamalamgdindong that's gotta count against it

Yeah, that one was a tough call...my thinking was that if his son can bring Karate Kid to 175M, and MIB 3 could bring in around that much...the 2 of them together should be able to come up w/ something similar, even if Shlamalamadingdong is involved (remember, he didnt write this one, just directing it) :)

ya and the smiths are doing everything they can to keep his name from appearing on any promotional material. Smart move I'd say. Still think it might be a little optimistic to put it above hangover 3 and wolverine even if they are both coming off of poor reviewed previous installments. And fast 6 as just a back up?

I think Hangover 3 is going to have a huge drop from #2 based on poor word of mouth...I enjoyed the movies myself, but a lot of people I know were really disappointed in #2

As for FF...I dont know, just seems played out...it was nice to have something fresh with the last one, but I think this one will suffer a drop too...I'm not an expert by any stretch, these are just my guesses :)
