Do not worry.  As soon as TMNT: Mutant Mayhem turns out to be a Box Office smash and RT ratings darling rather than the dreck I predicted it to be, I will replace you in the cellar.

For anyone who banked on Pixar making a big comeback to form with Elemental, it already has 14 reviews on RT and it's only at 64% so far.

Speaking of my entry, I tend to stick once I've submitted it. Looking back, I think Guardians needed to be higher and Asteroid City lower on my RT lists. Elemental depends on which Pixar we're getting.

Fuck.

Consequences of falling off this site for so long; realizing the Summer pool is back and missing the signups.

I'll be watching this and hoping for next year. Best of luck to everyone playing.

Fyi you CAN actually still get in, up until this coming Thursday.  You'd be at a disadvantage, but there are still 16 movies that haven't premiered yet and can be used to make your 15-movie lists.

Cheers though I need more than luck. Wished you happy birthday in the happy birthday thread.

I went with Elemental like 3 on RT and 4 on box office or somesuch. I'm F-U-C-K-E-D. Bring on the Booby Prize!

You have Elemental #2 on RT and 3rd Box Office where as I had it #6 on Rotten Tomatoes, #10 Box Office. The former will hurt my ranking, the latter will hopefully help me. As noted, found Elemental hard to place as it depended on which Pixar showed up.

Had a top three for box office that could have gone in any order. So of course I put Spiderman third like a dummy. The web-heads are coming for the crown. 

#4 on mine:

1. Guardians of the Galaxy 3 (May 5).

2. Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning (Jul 14).

3. Fast X (May 19).

4. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (Jun 2).

I am fucked... so very very fucked

I'm surprised at that percentage. I had it at the very bottom of my RT list. Fuck.

Checked to see if the Transformers movie is REALLY getting better reviews than the Pixar movie... and it's not, not any more. It's down to 58%. Would be nice if it could drop below Fast X's 56% too.

It's now at 57% and below Fast X.  We can all breathe a little easier now.

The Flash is currently at 73% but may drop as the weekend approaches and the bulk of the reviews come in.

Little Mermaid has $145.6 million after 7 days, Guardians 3 had $152.7 million after 7 days. So that looks like it's gonna be a horse race. Too close to call right now.

At the 12-day mark it's become apparent that Little Mermaid didn't have the legs (ha!) and it won't be able to catch Guardians.

Spider-Man looks like it'll top them both.

You're right. Apparently it got moved in early May.

So, the only thing that this changes is that people can still enter up until June 15th!
