 Re: KJ's Fall/Winter 2015 Box Office Contest
Bridge of Spies is getting good reviews, but I still can't imagine it doing as well as Captain Phillips. It looks dull from the trailer.

 Re: KJ's Fall/Winter 2015 Box Office Contest
Bridge of Spies got a standing ovation at its premiere. I wonder if it will challenge for some Oscars. Seems like Spielberg cock sucking at the moment, but you never know - it may be good.

 Re: KJ's Fall/Winter 2015 Box Office Contest
I ended up in the middle of most predictions, and in this game, 70% of the movies either beat all predictions or are lower than all.
My start already shows me that I will be a non-entity this game. Damn it.

Yikes. Bottom of the leader board. Serves me right for being over optimistic about the Sep/Oct slate!
