Damn Keanu. Let me down.
What I want to know is why no-one who had a lower round film shifted in my league didn't pick up Happy Death Day 2 U as a replacement. I was hanging on Serenity being shifted again or dumped to Netflix so I could pick it up, and I'm surprised no-one else did. Easy 50 m there.

Wow. Guess I just assumed it was picked. Fudge.Quoting transmogrifier (view post)
Its release date was set about a week after our group finished picking, which meant the other group was able to pick it up as they were slower to finish (I think). It's been sitting there the whole timeQuoting Ezee E (view post)

Glass finishes its run with $100,633,915.
The Lego Movie 2 is struggling so far, falling well short of the original, as well as Lego Batman.
Alita: Battle Angel opens this holiday weekend alongside two replacement picks in Happy Death Day 2U and Isn't It Romantic. Based on early numbers, it's Alita that has the best shot at taking the weekend.

Wonder if Ivan will have the biggest dominance in the game.
Hey, let's get ready for a new round. Who's in? Skitch, you want to run it? I can if need be, but a break from it would also be good.
