It opens big ....

The story so far ...
For the first time in league history, the title of Blockbuster came down to the alternates.  Faith's 11th pick (1st alternate) was Dunkirk which beat out both Baywatch (Jamie & Jenna) and Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (Kevin).  Second place came down to the 12th pick and the battle of the popular book series.  Who here wouldn't want to see a 'Epic Rap Battle' between Captain Underpants and Diary of a Wimpy Kid.  Who will win? You decide!

In the Multipliers, Jeff (me, lol) took home the crown.  It was reported that this was the lowest total summer box office in the past several and it showed.  With less movies to pick from and even fewer perceived blockbusters, quite a few movies were held throughout the league.  Franchises claim nine out of the top ten for openings.


Up next is the Holiday Season!  It could be another close race to the finish.  In the upcoming weeks, I will be sending out some information.  If summer is any indication of the future leagues, every pick will count.
