Maybe you should just wait to make sure Dora comes out on Friday first

If not, it will mean something has answered my prayers.

Next update should be Friday as normal.

With Playmobil getting moved out of the contest, the total number of updates drops to 18, so we're suddenly much closer to being done.

Shows you how little I was paying attention

Didn't realize Lion King had already passed Toy Story 4

(Pennant race watch as endgame happens:

Goldman's tiebreaker is in the books, The Z and I both had Hobbs and Shaw for the tiebreaker. I had Playmobil in both lists, Goldman/Z both had Playmobil in one list.)

I had playmobil in one list, but I had the X Men movie that didn't come out in the other. I think you two left that one off?

Well, I have Dora at #14 on my RT list and it currently sits at 75% with 24 reviews. So that's not good.

Surprised at that rating.

Well, now.  Dora & The Lost City of Gold is currently 75% Fresh, so that officially fucks my ballot. 

I'll see you dudes next year.

[S.K.o.S.]

Some notes:

- Kuetsar has Playmobil as a tiebreaker, but at least right now, it doesn't look like the tiebreaker will come into play for him - at least not for prizes.

- The points for New Mutants (under the Adjustment Bureau rule) are in play for everyone now

- I'm out of town again next weekend, so the next update will be the following Monday, August 19th.

At this point I'm wondering if I can break 100 points.

I think and correct me if I'm wrong, I'm the only one to enter every year since this started in 2008.

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

STX miscalculated how much money they had and the European distributor(s) probably said to themselves "well, that's not our problem" and released it anyway.  

[JRGoldman]

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