Not to count my chickens, but did Rippa ever reveal what the prizes are this year?

Here is the direct link

Which is a good thing it was brought up because I totally forgot which ones I was giving out.

[RIPPA 29,775]

So Dora opened with $17 million

It was actually third in just kids movies (behind Scary Stories to tell in the Dark and The Lion King)

I would like to believe that it will be able to pass that block of 4 movies at the end that range from $20 million to $29 million but who the fuck knows

[RIPPA 29,775]

Oh and Hobbs and Shaw will definitely pass John Wick 3 at some point.

Question is does it catch Aladdin

New people in first and last place this week.  Looks like Dora's RT placement is what sunk some people.

I only just now noticed that Long Shot finished at 81%

That is mind boggling to me

PlayMobil is on general release in Europe right now. Seems odd to postpone the USA release so far and not do the same internationally.

Since it came out in Europe it has a RT score now

24%

So for the sake of my ballot - it is probably a good thing it didn't get released in America

To me the biggest surprises of the 2019 Summer Blockbuster Pool: The Lion King's rotten rating on rottentomatoes.com and how Dora & the Lost City of Gold is 83% fresh there. I really dodged a bullet by skipping Dora on my lists especially the Rotten Tomatoes one. Didn't expect them to go this way.

You know, maybe we shouldn’t be surprised. Jumanji II was a hit, Jungle Boy is over like crazy, and now Dora is big with critics. Maybe the jungle genre is just in right now.

[RIPPA 29,775]

So I am guessing the only things left to be settled are

• How high does Hobbs & Shaw get on the BO list?
• How high does Dora get on the BO list?
• Does Dora catch OUATIH on the RT list? (Doubtful)
• Does Hobbs and Shaw tumble below Pikachu on RT? (Also doubtful)

[Brian Fowler 13,541]

What's interesting about Dora is, while the reviews are mostly positive, they averaged adjusted score is only 6.42/10.

So it's getting a lot of "yeah, it was okay" reactions.

[The Unholy Dragon 776]

Honestly this isn't the stage of the game where I want to be going up the charts.

 

SO CLOSE TO LAST! SO CLOSE!
