I'll pop along and lurk from time to time
The role of foxhot is now played by moi, as some operas were known to say. We're one and the same. But the avatar koala remains.
I appreciate your complimentary offer....though in my case it'd only feel like encouraging the endless army of sequels and reboots to have even more frequency than they do.* I must decline with thanks.
(*And boy, do they ever re-do. I'm ashamed to say the only thread I ever created which is guaranteed to outlive me----no smiling-----is the Unnecessary Reboot of the Week Thread.)
While it's a lost cause, I'd love to see ten full-blown originals win.
You could always predict just originals and see what happens. Maybe somehow you will positively jinx the world.The role of foxhot is now played by moi, as some operas were known to say. We're one and the same. But the avatar koala remains.

Like Mirror-Spock, I shall consider it.
Um
Um, I haven't been to the pictures since The Rise of Skywalker and know absolutely zero about forthcoming films. I think I'll stick to lurking.
@Candleicious Ghost , @Rowdy Roddy McDowall @Victoria , i hope you'll reconsider adding your list. There aren't any stakes , like an entrance fee, so it would be fund what you put down. And you never know -- you might hit on something none of the rest of us would have thought of.... like if someone had even CONSIDERED Sinners...
If any of you and/or @Grendelsbayne could provide an entry, it would help us out a bit. I did a rough cut, and we have 4 movies that are averaging an exact 9...and those are our bottom 11, so that's what's throwing us off a bit.
But even if you don't, we would STILL LOVE to have your input.
Here's my entry...(Sorry, been super busy with work, and actually still am):
I placed Avengers low, not because i don't think it will make a Billion dollars (or 2!), but based on how Avatar did in JUST December, Avengers might not get enough juice to place the top for 2026.
And 11-15 are of course the wild cards. I was hoping for another unique non franchise/sequel movie, but can't find one.
In the next couple weeks, I will try to build a grid so we can see what we're thinking. 2025 showed that our COLLECTIVE average was more accurate than ANY individual entrant.

Yay! I'm currently in the lead.
An easy feat though, as I'm the only person to nominate a film that has been released to date (Scream 7).
And it's only 1 point because I nominated it as a Dark Horse.

Hey a win is a win
congrats! Been. Busy with work... Hopefully i can do the chart next week
I’d wait until we’re all out of the gate with at least one nominated film out each.Hey a win is a win
Though, if you want to do a one-horse one, I will stroll a lap of honour
Here's what we predicted (sorted by the average of all of us)
I am excited for this year!
I will probably post an update, of where we stand so far, maybe mid-April or so, to give some movies like Project Hail Mary and Mario Galaxy a chance to run.

So 1/3 of the year in...wanted to post this before the Mandolorian movie
Lots of movies that need to come out, but congrats to @valkyrie013 for taking the top spot so far, with @Kai "the spy" and @The Knappos in a tie for 2nd.

Woo Woo! Zero chance it'll last.. butt.. WOO!
Predicting 1st or 10th place exactly scores 13 points. Kai and I are on 13 a piece.
You have 11 nominations which are yet to be released. Everything could change.
SO an update of where we are... while more money is pouring in, i am pretty sure the current rankings will stick for a while
Here's the ranking and what place we predicted....and the next will show point values (if i calculated it right)
And points, based on rules established....
Congrats to @Verteron as our end of summer champ, with a close second by @valkyrie013 . A few surprises, and can't wait to see what Dec. 31 brings!
