Time for another poll! If you don't know how this works... where have you been for the past 5+ years?!?! Please search for "Top 5 Movies" and you will find that we do this every summer and every winter.
rules are simple -- there is a poll at the top of this thread. Vote for the 5... exactly 5... movies you expect to post the most boxoffice this winter. We will define a winter film as any picture released from the last weekend of October (Oct 28th) through the 3rd weekend of February (we usually end in late January, but I'm doing this to add some good contenders to the mix!). We will close the contest when the top 5 are known or when the last of those February films has ended its boxoffice run. Yes, this means it is very possible that this contest will last until late April... suck it!
Here are the films that will be in our contest (with release date):
Inferno (Oct 28)
Dr. Strange (Nov 4)
Arrival (Nov 11)
Fantastic Beasts (Nov 18)
Moana (Nov 23)
Allied (Nov 23)
Office Christmas Party (Dec 9)
Rogue One (Dec 16)
Sing (Dec 21)
Passengers (Dec 21)
Assassin's Creed (Dec 21)
LEGO Batman (Feb 10)
Fifty Shades Darker (Feb 10)
The Dark Tower (Feb 17)
There will also be a space for you to vote for "other" which would allow you to pick a film not on the poll list, but you must name that film in a post for it to qualify for the contest. Among the contenders in the "other" category are a whole bunch of awards contenders like: Hacksaw Ridge, Jackie, Bleed for This, La La Land, Collateral Beauty, Patriot's Day, Fences and many others. We've seen crazier things than an "other" making the top 5.
So, vote now and post your picks as well as why you picked them. The poll will close in 12 days, on Oct 26th. Good luck!!
