The escape is a success...

The story so far ...
Dunkirk tops $50 million giving Faith the Blockbusters.  All that stands in her way is two cartoons and a sequel to a horror movie.  Mark's magic number stands at $112 million.

Ever since the league moved to a pick 'em style format, the quest for perfection has been a "tough row to hoe."  Up till this week, four teams had picked the top ten correctly this season.  That's "had" mind you because Dunkirk's $50 million opening knocked out The Mummy.  If none of the remaining movies crack the top ten, it stands now that six teams will have picked nine out of ten correctly.

Pickings were slim this summer.  Six movies were held by the entire league.  The highest number ever.  They were Guardians, Spider-Man, Wonder Woman, Despicable Me, Cars & Transformers.  Pirates had nine picks while Aliens had eight.  It really just came down to Apes, Mummies, & the boys of Dunkirk to determine the winner.

Up next is the always unpredictable Holiday Season.  Good bye all your safe "Tent Pole" Blockbusters.  My prediction is that diversity will be back ... and so will those awful six digit picks!
