Why are you wasting time here when you could be wasting it by listening to the latest episode of the DBR Podcast?
I am changing my picks. I am dropping Aquaman from my top 5 and adding Mary Poppins.
As a result, my top 5 picks are:
The Grinch
Fantastic Beasts 2
Ralph Breaks the Internet
Mary Poppins Returns
and Lego Movie 2

Dang! Thought I had til the end of the day. Oh well.
is it too late to disclaim Holmes and Watson as part of my "Field" pick.
If that is a top-5 movie this winter, I don't want to be a part of the contest - ever. It makes Naked Gun seem like Shakespeare.
The first player in our contest took in $50M in its opening weekend. That is nice money, but not enough to be a contender, unless it has crazy long legs. At least it has an A Cinemascore going for it, but this will be the only weekend it sits at #1.
Q "Why do you like Duke, you didn't even go there." A "Because my art school didn't have a basketball team."
An A Cinemascore could easily translate to a 3.5 multiplier, which would put Bohemian Rap in the $175+ mil range. While that probably won't be enough to hit the #5 spot, it is not out of the question. We've had #5 films in that general range plenty of times in the past. We need a couple more weeks to see how it holds up to have a better idea.

I am amazed that Venom (29% RT score) is about to cross over the $200M mark. I never would have given it a chance in our contest; it is clear from those numbers that it could have been a player.
It also makes me dread seeing what WetGuy does since I didn't vote for it, but I still think Venom did this well in part due to the Marvel affiliation.

Just got back from a Dolby showing of B Rhap. Absolutely loved it. Everybody in the theater sang along at the final scene in Wembley Stadium. Crowd was highly diverse along age and race, everybody loved it.
It's an experience and Rami Malek is riveting. He's in every scene and I could not take my eyes off of him.
I've never seen anything like this. It's a blast.
Nothing incites bodily violence quicker than a Duke fan turning in your direction and saying 'scoreboard.'
Grinch reviews looking meh, but on the positive side. Fantastic Beasts reviews looking meh, on the negative side.
I still think both movies are mostly review proof and safe, but I'm bummed that it is looking like Beasts is such a mess.

Bohemian Rhapsody was fine. Rami Malek turned in an excellent performance, but the rest of the movie was meh. Live Aid scene was a nice ending.
