    i don't think you gentlemen would be interested.. i'll likely just be watching loads & loads of Star Wars and gorging on ridiculous amounts of ice-cream.

    sounds dull - no? :D

    We'll have to keep it at Friday, since estimates are already coming in by Saturday.


    Christopher Robin opening weekend results: $ 24,585,139
    • no winners; all guesses were over. :(

    The Spy Who Dumped Me
    opening weekend results: $ 12,103,043
    1. @Rogues1138 ($12.1m) -- nailed it!
    2. @Addi Ras ($12m)
    3. @FN-3263827 ($11.3m)
    The Darkest Minds opening weekend results: $ 5,842,609

    Went to see Christopher Robin on Friday and it did not disappoint. It's a very well done film, definitely geared more toward the adult crowd and those who have already grown up with Winnie the Pooh than for those who are still mostly growing. I really enjoyed it though, and as always Ewan was on top of his game.

    Speaking of games, lets get back to it!

    Updated standings:

    @Lock_S_Foils - 165

    i am stunned at the poor box office of Christopher Robin.
    the Gleeson one made over 60m opening weekend and this one would seem to have way higher appeal! : o O

    Personally I heard very little about this film before-hand, so again there's that whole "they dropped the ball on marketing" thing... and from what I've heard (from you I believe!) the Gleeson one wasn't exactly for kids. Maybe parents were a bit more guarded this time around?? Christopher Robin was a really great film and I would recommend it to any adult, and to most kids 7ish and up.

    Also, if the Meg outperforms CR, I will give you all 50 credits out of disgust. :p

    The Meg - $21m
    Dog Days - $4.5m
    Slender Man - $8m

    Ha! Never underestimate Domhnall Gleeson's star power ... Remember that Burberry's Christmas ad?

    i thought about that. but figured the people who wanted something else and got the PTSD and horrors-version might be out to see the more chipper take. XD
    no lie, i guess. i've been trying to convince my brother that he really does have an insane following. he keeps saying nobody cares about Hux and i keep telling him oh yes they do. i think the russian twitter thing on the BTS reel finally got him thinking ~ hahahaha

    okay my guesses:

    We Haven't Had Enough Giant Shark Movies Movie = $27.1M
    Dog Breath = $7.1M
    Fat Man's Younger and Smaller Brother = $11.1M​
