The X-Men still got it!

THE STORY SO FAR...
Chuck takes the lead with the X-Men and Alice (Who the %$#%0 is Alice?).   Breathing down his neck are Brian, Jeff, Jenna, and Ned.  Up next the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles looks to keep the league fluctuating even more!  Over in the tiebreaker, who can pick them best, Multiplier league, Jeff is out to an early lead.  Sadly it won't last because nobody knows who Alice is.

Angry Birds soar...

THE STORY SO FAR...
Chuck, Jamie and Nick break from the pack with the pick Angry Birds!  Are they going to be able and hold off the others?  Memorial Day weekend is here which is typically owned by the X-Men.  This year they are facing tough competition with the Alice sequel.  More separation is upon us, who will survive!

Who will soar to ... second

THE STORY SO FAR...
The picks are in and the season has started.  This weekend, the league will begin to separate.  The Angry Birds and Neighbors are both opening.  In years past, one May movie has influenced the standings throughout the summer.  Movies such as Neighbors and the Great Gatsby have propelled members to the top.  Sadly, in both cases, that person has come in 2nd by the end of the summer.  Will Angry Birds have that kind of power?  They did memorize millions with their app.

Civil War delivers....

Captain America started us off big.  But is it big enough?  One of my projects this summer is to compare all the movie seasons.  Will the $181 million earned last weekend help to eventual winner of Summer 2016 be the highest total yet.  With the ole cliche of "time will only tell", the season is under way, game on!

That's a wrap...

John pulls out a victory!  In a very close race to the finish, John's pick of 10 Cloverfield Lane was the deciding factor.  Although he did receive a little help from Mark banking on Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.  Yes I want to see it, but money it did not make.  Thanks for all those who played during Spring League.  Definitely a back and forth battle throughout the season.

Now on to Summer League.  Due to the nature of the schedule, one season is over and now another is starting!  We are on the eve of the opening of Captain America. This summer is going to be tricky.  Franchises are sprinkled throughout the summer list but which ones will truly be Blockbusters.  So much money spent on productions that there are bound to be some bombs.  Some have returned their picks, for the rest, good luck as only Liam Neeson can say it...
