    I like Mike’s idea of the top 10, or maybe just the top 5.

      As for suggestions, I think it might be interesting to try and guess the top 10 at the box office each weekend and how much they will make.

    Also, Yusuf, you and Zach both put $20 M on True Grit. One of you needs to change it.

      Top 5 might be interesting. Meanwhile I did not realize that I made the same as Zach. However I put True Grit on the 3rd Spot. I can make it 19M if it would count.
