Yep and you took Moana in round 1, so you're basically locked into at least $500 mil between those two unlike me who naively took Alice in Wonderland over Sing in round 2, thinking was a shoo-in too make $150 mil+. In other words, there's a reason you're in division A and I'm in division B

[Walleye413]

Sing will do better than Alice, but I don't think it's going to be that big a hit. Moana, on the other hand, is going to be huge.

[Brockster]

Moana sounds like the title of a porno to me.

[Walleye413]

Ah man, now that's all I'm going to be able to think when I go see it

Moana sounds like the title of a porno to me.

Moana Lott!
