2014 Box Office Contest - Pick the Top 20 Films of The Year

[Buscemi]

Looks like I'm the only one who's liking the chances of Eastwood's foray into musicals.

[Walleye413]

I know I took some risks, but I feel like they're pretty legit. Big mistake in that I forgot about Edge of Tomorrow. I think that might be top 15 for sure and just missed it. Oh well. I'm solid for the other 19 though!

I had a busy week at work so I'm a bit behind on my research of Fall movies. Now it looks like I'll probably wait until closer to the deadline. I originally had Ride Along penciled in as a perfect bench pick, but now I figure there are a lot of movies still to come with similar earning potential, so it's not worth missing out on an important date change or new trailer. If Ride Along breaks out I'll be annoyed, but Kevin Hart isn't quite a sure thing yet.

Thanks Tranny. That's 5 entries so far.

Just to be clear, any lists posted cannot contain the films coming out this weekend, though it looks like nobody thinks they'll crack the Top 20.

[JohnErle]

With $75 million in two weeks, I'm starting to wish I'd pulled the trigger and used Ride Along as a bench pick. I got a little gun shy because of another Kevin Hart movie opening so soon after this one, but now it's a lock for $100-$120, making it a worthwhile pick. There'd better be some game-changing news in the next two weeks to justify me waiting for the deadline.

[Chienfantome]

Yeah it wouldn't have been a bad pick.

[JohnErle]

At least we can both celebrate grabbing it in the yearly draft.

[Chienfantome]

Indeed we can. Well done John

[numbersix]

Don't forget, guys, that the deadline for this contest is Wednesday Feb 5th, and if you want to include the Lego Movie you need to get it in by the end of the day of Sunday Feb 2nd.

[Chienfantome]

My list is on the way, I'll post it by the end of the week.

Question: is midnight Pacific time on Sunday okay?

The Super Bowl is Sunday afternoon and I was hoping to see which movies have ad buys for their trailers. Seeing some live-action footage for Guardians Of The Geekery might help me make up my mind on that one.

If it makes you feel any better, tracking is never revealed that early, and I'll be picking The Lego Movie no matter what.

Yeah, that's no problem.
