Only 5 weeks left and there is a tight race for second place!
Predict the #1 film of the weekend.
The one who predicts closest to the total Friday to Sunday gross for the #1 film wins 4 points. Runner-up gains 2 points. Predicting within half a million earns 2 extra points.
Bonus Questions:
1. The Marvel Cinematic Universe, beginning with 2008’s Iron Man has been one success after another and Guardians of the Galaxy looks to continue that streak. Will Guardians open more like The Incredible Hulk ($55m), the first Thor and/or Captain America ($65m) or the first Iron Man ($98m+)? (Pick one of the 4 movies; closest gross wins)
2. What place will Get On Up find itself at?
Deadline is Thursday July 31st 11:59PM (blog time)

Juan’s going to win this week. GOTG headed for 90 million opening.
Get on up to first place, and gross ’till you feel better!
Juan cannot win this week as his guess was past the deadline. It’s happened to all of us…
Ouch. Seven minutes late!
Joe wins and even he’s not very close. What a ridiculously impressive performer.
Because of Juan’s tardiness, Slim still gets points and is now over the hill!
