    Deadpool 2 caps in week 2 of its run.
    Woo!

    Still can't believe I got to pick it in our Round 2. I doubt Fallen Kingdom is going to drastically underperform like Solo, but still don't think it'll get to $200 mill nearly as fast as its predecessor.

    Yeah, if Incredibles 2 doesn't cap, I will eat my DVD copy of the original. (And even then it's okay, I also have the Blu-ray.)

    I expect about $140 million opening weekend, which, yes, would edge out Finding Dory for Pixar's biggest weekend ever.

    I will help Henry eat that dvd if it doesn't cap. I still maintain Incredibles is by far Pixars best work. It also grabs the most audience these days; kids, families, comic book superhero loving dorks like me. That flick could go Jurassic World.

    Pixar films better than The Incredibles: Wall-E, Finding Nemo, Toy Story 3, Coco, Toy Story, Up, A Bug’s Life....

    The sequel will still make bazillions

    Criticism being all subjective and stuff, I respectfully disagree. Most of those are really rock solid flicks though, not taking anything away from the art. But I'll take the more fun and light hearted, not over-reaching to pull on the heartstrings approach of the Incredibles over all those.

    I'll go with BlacKkKlansman instead. As a last round, I don't expect more than 15 million, so let's do something inflammatory.

    The Power of the Dog - 7.5

    Given the content, I'm genuinely shocked that it's written and directed by Stephen Merchant of all people. Even so, I'm interested.

    Sorry I missed a week in there. Fully updated for Week 10.

    I went ahead and capped Incredibles 2 because it will cap this week. Solo will likely come up short, but just barely. Going to be close.

    I think I'm entitled to a change since it looks like Serenity has been delayed until October 19th.

    Please replace with [

    ]

    Can I drop another film and replace it with a different one? Like fantasy baseball? Or am I locked in?
