My 15 choices (in chronological order of release):

Guardians of the Galaxy 2
Snatched
Alien: Covenant
Baywatch
POTC: Dead Men Tell No Tales
Captain Underpants
Wonder Woman
The Mummy
Cars 3
Rough Night
Transformers: The Last Knight
Despicable Me 3
The House
Spider-Man: Homecoming
War of the Planet of the Apes

The biggest question marks on my roster seem to be the comedies. One could also include Captain Underpants, which could overperform or underperform.

I've avoided the horror films, which could screw me if any of them take off. I just don't see them breaking out. Dunkirk could do well, but it only has two weeks to get its bucks in before the season ends.

So Boxofficechamps has changed its calendar of seasons. The game is on 3 months now, compared to 4 months before that. It makes the game less competitive, too bad.

I'm confused, if only movies eligible between may and july, why are there earlier movies?

You can pick movies that came out before the start of the season, but only the money grossed during the season (in this instance, May 1st) count towards your total.

Anyone else think How to Be a Latin Lover will get the bonus this week? Instructions Not Included opened to almost $8 million in just over a third of the theatres. With 1,000 theatres and a wider audience appeal, it could hit $12-15 million for the weekend.

Given how weak the field is this week, I think its a strong possibility.

Seven How to Be a Latin Lover gave me the win this weekend. Why not do it again? Friday Guardians plus seven Latin Lovers.

Meanwhile, I apparently had the best score on all of the site (only seven people had the same lineup while no one had the perfect lineup but I guess I won a tiebreaker) last weekend and am now in a drawing for a $100 gift card. I'll find out in four weeks if I won the drawing.

Edit: I got my gift card digitally. Now, if I can only find a movie that I want to see to use my gift card on.

Should have taken more Lowriders this weekend. I knew that it had the possibility of surprising but I wasn't expecting a $2.5 million estimate in under 300 theatres.

I should probably consider retiring from playing FantasyMovieLeague, as I don't think I'll ever do another season of this caliber and should stop at the peak of my game. Naaaaaa, I'll continue playing, but I'll be nostalgic of this season I won 7 weekends out of 13. Aaaah, those were good times, I already feel that...

Anyone notice the new Best of the Rest feature? Basically, you can spend 5 on a title not in the game in hopes that it can make a decent amount (this week's candidate according to the site is The Lovers or Paris Can Wait but I think Churchill with its planned 200 theatre opening could slip in).

Personally, I think 3 Idiotas is a better pick if you're playing Wonder Woman like I am.
