After seeing the trailer I kind of regret it tho.
It got a load of buzz at CinemaCon so I had to take a shot on it. TBH I probably wont see it myself, but it looks like it'll be a useful awards round grab.

It will probably see you sail through the Globes at least.

Spreadsheet updated. The only change in the standings is Golden passing DH for 3rd place, thanks to the Ocean's 8 premiere.

This Friday will be a big one with Incredibles 2 opening, and to a much lesser extent, Tag.

I'm waiting for the weekend after, to see how Jurassic World does.

If it doesn't flop, I think I'll be feeling pretty secure about the first round. If it does flop... I could be screwed.

#108

All my shit is fall releases, but they're pretty good fall releases. And I've got Ant Man in July which is gonna crack 200mil domestic, easy peasy.

#109

How many people are being eliminated this round, timmer?

#110

dunya wrote: ↑Mon Jun 11, 2018 7:12 pm How many people are being eliminated this round, timmer?

Only one

#111

Incredibles 2 tracking at north of 130mil

Ant Man tracking at north of 80 mil.

Gonna be a good couple of weeks for box office.

#112

Incredibles up to 180+

Hopefully Ant Man does better than the tracking as well. May get 120+ out of it.

#113

Very pleased at how few people picked up actors from the incredibles.

I wanted that as my film, but getting those actor bucks is pretty good.

I’m feeling good about round 1.

#114

I'm feeling real good about Round 1 myself.

#115

As the only person in the Top 5 not to have a film open yet I feel like once my films do start opening I'll be easily top 3.

#116

well really, what does it matter HOW well the box office does?

in the end, only one person leaves this stage and then it's how well you do with awards.

box office numbers are just to get you to awards, if I'm not mistaken.

#117

so I regret being at all bothered by "numbers".

#118

They're good for bragging rights, at least.

And as for awards, I'm confident I'll pick enough of those up to keep me in the running anyway

#119

Spreadsheet updated.

JJJ still killin with Deadpool 2
Golden moves up to 2nd spot with Ocean's 8 still truckin and a chunk of Incredibles 2
INH rams right into 4th with Incredibles 2
Incredibles 2 acting propelled MP7 as well, knocking DH down to 6th

Iron Dwarf is in the hot seat with 3 films opening already and none grossing $10 million, but only 1 acting spot has been burned so far so the season is early...

No one will win this playing nice. It's fucking cut throat. But the rules are clear man I'm sorry.

Fwiw the single most profitable actor pick last year? Stan Lee.

Thanks for the updates timmer! I just want to ensure you saw the last few switcharoos in the transaction thread -- may want to check.

#121

Thx, I missed the last Bernadette moves!

#124

Jurassic World money bout to come in for some people.

#125

My laptop is dead so I will update the spreadsheet from work tomorrow!

#126

As Jurassic Park is not a flop I'm now very confident that I will not be losing in the first round.

It's nice. I feel like I can snore through the first round.

#128

This Fall, DharmaHelper Presents:

Money.

#129

The job isn't to have lots of money. Its to be one step away from elimination because you have so many oscar films on your roster!

Fucking Incredibles 2.

#139

I’m just calling in the win now.

Forget the awards stuff.

#140

Saw that today.

Well, not Fucking Incredibles 2, but Incredibles 2.

#141

I've been meaning to go see it, might soon.

#142

I saw it yesterday. It was alright. That kind of thing usually doesn't do a lot for me.

#143

It was good, but terribly predictable, and not as fun as the first. The sequel was even in some parts borderline annoying.

#144

Woo lads 100+ million weekend for ya boi

#145

Ant Man and the wasp hooked me up.

#146

Spreadsheet updated!

#147

*candlelight vigil for Iron Dwarf*

#148

Terry Crews the real MVP

#149

Mary Poppins Returns is moving from Dec. 25 to Dec. 19... may not sound significant but it puts it directly in the way of Aquaman and shows increasing confidence in the film.

A couple more days for BO money to get in there. *And* I've got Lin-Manuel so "Supporting Actor in a Comedy/Musical" is like...mine.
