Fear the pigeon ....

Jack plays the waiting game ...
Is $21 million enough?  Jack is sitting on top of the league with zero openings left.  January starts next week and has proven to be uneventful in the past.  Is there a Mama out there somewhere that could shake things up.  As of right now it looks to be someone who can talk to animals, two soon-to-be retired cops, and an FBI pigeon agent that looks to shake things up a bit.

Winter Break, where are you? ...
Christmas is next week! School is ending for two weeks! But more importantly, Star Wars comes out this weekend! Got your tickets? It's going to be e ... <a bunch of light saber sounds being waved around by a bunch of guys in brown bathrobes only to be done by Rey> pic. The league will basically be decided this weekend.  At the beginning of the seasons, it was decided that you either fell in the teenie-bopper camp or the fanboy camp.  By Monday we will know which one is stronger.

Coming to all theaters ...

To be honest, the only one that matters ... 

Included for a certain someone ...

Next great comedic duel ... Johnson & Hart ...

And so it begins ...
PLAYMOBIL delayed their release and still bombed.  We are talking like they might make a cool million by Christmas kind of bomb.  You wouldn't even have to rent a theater for a personalized screening.  This might go down as the worse opening ... ever.  Pretty sure 'From Justin to Kelly' is patting them on the back.  I have read that plastic is not in favor right now, but had no idea that plastic on film was feeling the repercussions.

Well, no change in the league since no one picked PLAYMOBIL.  Dodged that bullet everyone.  Up next is Jumanji!

The LEGOs substitute throw their hat into the ring ...

And so it begins ...
Knives Out comes in at a respectable $26.  Hermonie starts her slow decent to the top (or she hopes). In what has turned out to be a very close race, Christmas holds the key.

Opening this weekend somewhere ...

Finally, the sequel to Greedy ...

And so it begins ...
The challenge has been laid down, Frozen put up $130 million.  The question is, will the last Skywalker Star Wars movie (for now) be able to top it?  Next month we will find out.  In other news, this is where Hermonie starts her comeback.  Rarely has the league seen a season where the second half does better than the first.  This could be the first!

Thanksgiving releases ...

Time to find out if 'Let it Go' is also the theme song of the sequel ...

And so it begins ...
This week is going to set up the rest of the season.  Either Frozen is going to follow in Terminator's and on a bigger note, Charlie's Angels foot steps. Orrr (yes I started a new sentence and added extra 'r's because it's a pretty big 'or') it's going to crank it out.  The buzz is pretty good but can every tweener, teenie bopper, child out there go out and see it?  The league is pretty split, sorry Burton but you would have made it even or decisively uneven.  In one corner, we have Jack, Elizabeth, Rod, & Hermonie predicting that it will bomb. While Boba, Fox, and Rey think it will lead all this season. Coincidental, the latter group is all in the top half while the doubters are in the bottom.

It's been close so far but will it continue to rain bombs or will the money start flowing ... again?

Ferrari would totally take Ford ...

And so it begins ...
We are 4 weeks in and Hermonie starts her comeback.  Meanwhile, there are now only two at the top in the Blockbusters.  Question is, will the two sets of pairs remain tied the rest of the season.  Want to know now?  The picks page has been updated.  Rey still has a foot hold on the Multiplier but only by a slim margin

Coming out this weekend ...

No Thor means all in (lots of releases) ...

And so it begins ...
Terminator produces a bomb.  However, it might have a big impact in the Multipliers.  Everyone picked it but there was really no consensus on where to rank it.  Those ranking high benefitted now but we will have to see if it hurts them in the end.  Still a four way tie at the top in Blockbusters.  We have had to only use the tie-breaker.  Could this be a second time?
