I mean, I'll take it. Not gonna prepare any remarks until the Sunday after "4vengers" opens, tho. :D

I just want to offer early congratulations to everyone in the predicted Top 5 in Div B, billionnaires, all. And, you know, NO ONE really shit the bed, it seems to me. This was an extraordinarily competitive year, and I think y'all really stepped things up in a very unpredictable Season. Looking forward to the next draft, and seeing if I can pull a rabbit out of my ass again! (Looking at the Release list... I doubt it very much. :D )

Thanks to all for a great contest! With an extra helping of gratitude to Shrykey, for all his efforts to make this possible!

--Nico.

Herald, I complimented JAS in the other Division for his meteoric rise, from last to very likely first, in a period of seven weeks, but your own rocket ride from last to third in just over half that, deserves special mention, too. That's really something, and you're looking at AT MINIMUM, a third-place finish overall on the Season. Pretty damned great, props.

Well, with only two weekends left, this is going to be closer than expected, thanks to US's terrible legs and a softer showing for Shazam.

Honestly, I think we can set a draft order once we get the Sunday estimates (unless the unthinkable happens).

Division A, however, may have to wait that extra day.

Endgame's tracking as high as $300 million. Nico's got this.

I REALLY don't see a $300M opening. I know that's where tracking is headed, my mind just boggles at and rejects such an outcome. :D

A number of theatres (48, at last count) will be showing the film all day and night from Thursday night to Sunday. I'll be in New York this week and I know it's going to be a madhouse (for example, it looks like most of the 38 screens in Times Square will show the film).

In addition, Endgame will be the first film to hit the 4,600 theatre threshold in the US. I wonder what film will be the second?

I was thinking The Secret Life of Pets 2. Of course, I thought The Grinch would be the first film to open in 5,000 theatres and that didn't come close to happening.

I don't know if "The Rise of Skywalker" will hit that mark, honestly. There will be A LOT more competition at the holidays.

..."Toy Story 4", maybe. Or maybe nothing until the "Avatar" sequels.
