Happy New Year!

The story so far ...
It all boils down to this.  Chuck's lead might not just hold out. January can be a cold and very long month.  His almost $21million lead might not be just enough to bring home the bacon.  

There are 4 possible ways this could end.  Chuck could hold off all.  This means the remaining openings fall flat.  It's happened many times before.  Jenna could pull off the sweep.  Yes she has Multipliers in the bag.  She just needs Hidden Figures (moving to wide this weekend) and The Founder to make a total of $21.72 million (or more).  Not impossible but it's January.  A third option would be Ned with Resident Evil.  RE has always drawn big crowds in the past, but sadly none in January.  Finally, there is Chris.  Chris has three openings left and who knows, come from way back.
