My brain just informed me that with everyone getting brand new accounts, some people might have different user names now than they did when they entered the pool.  If that's the case for you, try to let me know.

I'm still JRGoldman, and I love the fact that the lights went out and when they came back on I was 9 spaces higher in the standings. It makes me feel like Sabu. This metaphor will be complete when I botch the triple jump moonsault that is the rest of the summer, and I find myself sprawled on a concrete floor as a man in a straw hat and bright shirt chants "You fucked up" and another man in a comic book themed t shirt disapprovingly stops his stopwatch.

R.I.P.D. looks actually pretty funny from the commercials that started running while the board was down, which means I'm going to get even more messed up. Looks like it has that sleeper cult classic kind of appeal to it.

Well, it sounds like the advance screenings are being held off until Thursday night. That is not a good sign. I already read that it's tracking towards less than $15 million for a three day total.

The Conjuring and Turbo have been getting really strong reviews.  Does not look good for any heavy hitters this weekend. Probably a dark horse upset this weekend if Despicable Me 2 cannot hold the top spot.

The Conjuring is rock steady at over 80% fresh.  I would not be surprised if it came in first place ahead of Turbo.

 

This is going to be a wacky weekend at the box office.
