[RIPPA]

And I will send myself a Booby Prize if the RT scores keep going the way they are going

[The Natural]

IF is the first Rotten Tomatoes film of the Summer Blockbuster Pool 2024 to get a rotten rating, 54%. I had it 8th on that list.

Made myself laugh visualising S.K.o.S reading the points total out like the Eurovision Song Contest.

[RIPPA]

I really should have remembered to factor in this new “movies hit digital 2 weeks after release” into my box office totals

If it's any consolation, I genuinely forgot to.

[The Z]

The game has just begun and I already made two massive mistakes that will cost me lots of points ranking The Fall Guy at #2 on my Box Office list and IF #4 on the RT list.

My early mess up is IF #8 on both lists.

52% rotten for Garfield.

[S.K.o.S.]

It's funny that with all the talk about underperforming movies (including Furiosa), Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes has made the most money so far but I've heard the least amount of conversation about it.

[John from Cincinnati]

hobo joe is going to win by being the only one with the courage to put Despicable Me at the top of his box office list.
