The numbers for Fri-Sun have changed slightly, according to BOM. I have made the changes in the post above. The one major difference is, Machete took 2nd place over Takers.

Here are BOM's final stats from this weekend.

Top 5:
5 points - The American, $13.2M
4 points - Machete, $11.4M
3 points - Takers, $10.9M
2 points - The Last Exorcism, $7.3M
1 point - Going the Distance, $6.9M


PTA (Jul, Jul leagues):
5 points - My Dog Tulip
4 points - The Tillman Story
3 points - Takers
2 points - The American
1 point - Machete

PTA (Sep leagues):
5 points - My Dog Tulip

I picked The American and My Dog Tulip in all September Ultimate leagues. They won't get me much in dollars earned, but I'm off to a decent start in everything else.
