    ...what a marathon!! Well, that does it folks. We're all wrapped up for the year. It's been a ton of fun, and thank you all for sticking around!

    In the final standings (to no one's surpirse!) @Lock_S_Foils took an early hold on #1 and never looked back...
    Congrats on becoming 2018's Box Office Master, @Lock_S_Foils !!

    In second place comes @Rogues1138 who always seemed to hit right on the money when he had a winning guess, congrats Rogues!!
    Third place goes to @Pawek_13 who was a strong contender throughout and our only other player to break the 300 point threshold. Congrats, Paw!

    The First Order hierarchy rules over the 200 point range, and looks to take over the Box Office in totality next year.. or will there be resistance??

    The rest of the group owns the 100 point range, and all had their moments of stealing glory from the "heavy hitters" throughout the year. And we'll be looking for the occasional players (Oldbert, Anubis, etc) to do the same next year!

    As previously mentioned, there will be prizes. Both Cantina-based, and real, hold-in-your-hands loot!
    Just bear with me for a bit, I still need to talk to the big boss and find out the best way to do this. What I do know now is that we will have performance-based prizes for the top 3, and we're trying to do a little raffle for the rest. :)

    I hope everyone has had fun! A Merry Christmas to all, and wishes for a happy, healthy New Year as well.
    See you folks in 2019!
    :D

    Where is my nailed it?! :p

    Exactly this. : D

    That's called "triumvirate" and not hierarchy! Get it right ;D - But resistance? Nah, I will destroy the Resistance and the last Jedi. Wait... I've already done that! (emperor)

    Thanks @DarthSnow for the fun!

    Thanks for running this @DarthSnow
    Hopefully we can do the same again next year :).
    As unlike @Lock_S_Foils i learned absolutely nothing about how the American box office works :p.
    So maybe next year we can go international :D

    Your snowflake stole it out from under you!

    Everything is on the table! I know one rule we will be changing... the "no going over" rule. (Your welcome, @Pawek_13 and @NinjaRen, and everyone else who complained about that along the way.
    :p

    Yeah, that's it. :(

    We'll start back up again next spring though! It's a huge year for movies and the box office, especially if your studio is owned by someone with the letters D-I-S-N-E-Y.

    Taking a quick glance at the year ahead, we will probably do a soft opening on March 8 for Captain Marvel, then get the weekly game going with Avengers on April 26.
    We may end a little earlier next year too depending on the schedule, though I can say with 100% certainty that the game's Grand Finale will be Episode IX.

    I know you were joking but I'm answering anyways!
    Cabin in the Woods.

    Not your typical scary movie, which is part of why I loved it so much (as I am not typically a fan of that genre).
