Teen fiction rules the box office!

Mockingjay makes a lot!  Tapping out at around $120 million opening, everyone received a boost.  Thanksgiving has come and gone.  The Christmas season is here like a steamroller laying waste to any remnants of bumps in the road (Halloween, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving...).   The question is will Horrible Bosses 2 and Penguins of Madagascar make an impact on the league.

There are two months left and almost have the league have 5 movies already released.  This might be wrapped up by Christmas!  Then again, Kevin Hart might have another release in January ....

A title for the fourth one should be 'More Dumb' ....

There is just one question that needs to be answered this morning.  Are you a fan of comic book movies? If you answer no, good luck avoiding them.  If you answer yes, Lenny, you have just saved the lives of millions of registered voters.  No but there are like 32 some comic book movies coming out in the next six years.  Sort of the same thing!  Head on over to Comic Alliance to read read about it or just look below to see the schedule.



Looking at the league, the dynamic duel are back on top and Colleen might have just clinched the Multipliers.  Dumb and Dumber To came out to the tune of a respectfully $36 million (for winter league) which had an impact on the league.  John and Jenna share he league in which is still a very close race.   However, in the Multipliers Colleen now has a firm grip on first being the first to a total a billion.  This week there will be no change since everyone picked Mockingjay Part 1 first.

I think everyone wants a Baymax...

Last weekend 's total box office take was the highest since the beginning of August.  Looks like the holidays are upon us.  The Halloween commas have worn off and prep for Thanksgiving feast (well at least the planning) have begun.  Big Hero 6 and Interstellar came up with decent openings.  Eventually, I hope the spreadsheet will be updated so that we can see comparisons between the seasons.

There was a shake up in the standings this week with last weeks opening.  Colleen now finds herself way out front in the Multipliers.  This past summer, Neighbors opened early on helping Colleen to a first place.  These 2 movies could have the same effect.  Out this week is Dumb and Dumber To which could put her out of reach for the rest of the season.

Thinking Baymax would be cool to have ...

Hey folks out in the land, the weekend is upon us.  What does this mean?  New movies are hitting the box office screens across the nation.  Opening up this week are Interstellar (out since Wednesday) and Big Hero 6.  A brief search over on RottenTomatoes.com shows that these two movies a generating a little buzz in the "freshness" column.  Both are held widely throughout the league, so there might be a bit of a shake up next week.

With Nightcrawler's meager opening of $10 million dollars has allowed for Ned to take over the top spot in the Blockbusters.  He now leads by over $3.5 million.  If the box office takes continue to be low, this could be a close year.  Oh who am I kidding?  The Hunger Games and The Hobbit are going to crush that.  In the Multipliers it is a different story.  John continues to hold a big lead by picking Fury so high.  However, you do know that if we let John spend too much time at the top he might get comfortable.
