ROTTEN TOMATOES SCORE: 63% = 4x

BOX OFFICE GROSS: $27.0 = 2 Points

SCORE: 8 Points

November 4th Notes

Free Birds performs less than expected for an animated kids movie and starts O'Keefe off with 2 points. John has a little more luck as Enders Game puts John on the board with 8 points. Last Vegas scores 3 points that go unclaimed.
1. John (1/4) - 8 Points // 2. O'Keefe (1/4) - 2 Points // 3. Dougy (0/4) - 0 Points // 3. Mike (0/4) - 0 Points // 3. Sheppard (0/4) - 0 Points

MOVIE: Thor: The Dark World

PLAYER: Mike

ROTTEN TOMATOES SCORE: 65% = 4x

BOX OFFICE GROSS: $85.7 = 8 Points

SCORE: 32 Points

November 11th Notes

Mike got the last pick of the first round but still scores an impressive 32 points off of Thor. Superhero movies usually perform well at the box office and Marvel adds another success to their brand.

1. Mike (1/4) = 32 Points // 2. John (1/4) = 8 Points // 3. Matt (1/4) = 2 Points // 4. Dougy (0/4) = 0 Points // 4. Sheppard (0/4) = 0 Points

The Best Man Holiday scores a surprising 12 points. No one claimed this movie.

PLAYER: Dougy

ROTTEN TOMATOES SCORE: 89% = 5x

BOX OFFICE GROSS: $150.8 = 15 Points

SCORE: 75 Points

November 25th Notes

Hunger Games: Catching Fire had the fourth largest opening of all time and the largest since we've started playing Fantasy Box Office. It's 75 point haul passes Gravity's 50 points as the highest score since we began Fantasy Box Office.
1. Dougy (1/4) = 80 Points // 2. Mikael (1/4) = 32 Points // 3. John (1/4) = 8 Points // 4. Matt (1/4) = 2 Points // 5. Sheppard (0/4) = 0 Points

MOVIE: Oldboy (Pick #16)

PLAYER: Mike

ROTTEN TOMATOES SCORE: 42% = 3x

BOX OFFICE GROSS: $0.8 = 0 Points

SCORE: 0 Points

MOVIE: Frozen (Pick #3)

PERSON: John

ROTTEN TOMATOES SCORE: 84% = 5x

BOX OFFICE GROSS: $66.7 = 6 Points

SCORE: 30 Points

December 2nd Notes

Oldboy completely bombs at the box office, not even scoring a million points. Goose Egg Mike's score won't be hurt too bad because of the success of Thor, but his next two picks will have to do better if he hopes to advance. John wisely picked Frozen and it payed off big. Animated children's movies always do well and the holiday boost helps even more.
1. Dougy (1/4) = 75 Points // 2. John (2/4) = 38 Points // 3. Mike (2/4) = 32 Points // 4. O'Keefe (1/4) = 2 Points // 5. Sheppard (0/4) = 0 Points
