Ice Age is melting...

THE STORY SO FAR...
Da da, da da da da, da da da da! Intro to Sports Center...  Something like that...  Brian has taken over the lead as the revolving door continues to spin.  Jamie is holding on in the Multipliers. We will give you a first hand look at Bad Mom's or it's new title, Mark's Saving Grace due to open this weekend.  Colleen just celebrated a birthday, will Sausage Party make up for a cancel tourney?  We are about to enter August, the race to the finish is upon us.

Will all those who had Star Trek please stand up?  Or better yet, move to the top of the league! Star Trek almost cracked the $60 million mark allowing Brian to leap frog Jamie taking over first for the Blockbusters.  However the revolving door might have a few spins left in her.  Brian's last opening is Suicide Squad.  Although this is widely held, there are a few other movies left to open.

Brian isn't the only contender for the title.  Jamie's fate rests on Pete's shoulders.  Although Pete is a dragon, will this classic children's tale manage to hit it big?  For Colleen, she needs this to be the most profitable August ever sitting with three openings.  By this time of the year people run out of money and families & teenie-boppers start to look to school.   In the past August has been filled with horror movies.  Foreshadowing.....

Finally, there is Bad Mom's or Mark's "Hail Mary" and I write "Hail Mary" starting with capital letters.  We are talking about a big hail mary! Bigger than the 5' something bomb that Doug Flutie threw to win the game.  Bigger than LeBron & Cleveland's first ever NBA championship.  Bigger than this.  Just running the numbers, it needs to make at least $72 million ... and that doesn't even guarantee a first place.  (Just to get pass me!) He called it a sleeper in April.  Will it deliver?  Will it start off the horror season?  We will know in just 5 short days!  

On a side note, if you were actually looking for an article or even a trailer about Bad Mom's, go to a real movie site.

Who are you gonna call?

THE STORY SO FAR...
We have a new leader!  Jamie has taken control of both leagues with, who else, the Ghostbusters.  After climbing the ranks, he now steps into the top spot.  But for how long?  Brian is less than $600,000 and they both sit with only two movies left.  With Star Trek, Suicide Squad, and Jason Bourne to name a few left to open, movement with in the league is almost a given.

On another note, the tie between Brian and Jeff was finally broken this past week.  Brian had picked Ghostbusters.  This was the longest lasting tie for Blockbusters in league history.  Maybe one day there will be a tie, but till then we will just have to wait.

Up next is Star Trek and Ice Age.  Two franchises that have done well in the past.  Can Jamie hold off the league?  Will Brian regain the top spot?  Can Colleen bank on the second half of the season?  Is Bad Mom's a ringer?  Is $30 million too far behind?  Who the bleep is Alice?

Who knew pet lives could be so entertaining...

THE STORY SO FAR...
So after a week's worth of vacation, the stats are starting to finally catch up.  The Secret Life of Pets managed to shake the league up a bit.  Jenna now leads the Blockbusters while Mark lays claim to the Multipliers.  Ned does still have time to claw his way back and their are plenty of potential big releases.

Also, I am currently adding everybody's picks to the member page.  I do realize that these are a long time coming.  However, since nobody has invented time travel, no need worrying about why the picks are so late.  They are here now!

Tarzan seeks his independence....

THE STORY SO FAR...
First of all, let me apologize for not having the letter out sooner.  Second of all, the standing are not up to date due to insufficient data.*  Which leads us to third of all, I apologize again for not having the Member's Picks pages updated.  Then again with Alice going oh so wrong and with BFG not being all that big.  Maybe it is best you don't see my picks.

*I could still figure out the math if the picks were up.

BLOCKBUSTERS
By the middle of next week this will all be squared away.  If I were a guessing man and I am, going on 40 years now, Ned will still be in the lead.

MULTIPLIERS
Look, I am in California for a week.  If the Member's page was updated there would be no issue. I am on Summer Break!  All you teachers out there say, "What day is it again?"
