I’m definitely down for adding some wrinkles to the game. The top 20 would be difficult to do without getting down to the 100,000s. The box office gross would be interesting, and some sort of ongoing Oscar prognostication would be really interesting.

3. Sherlock Holmes 18M
4. Dragon Tattoo 15M
5. Advs. of Tintin 10M
