After some time apart, our @wectnews.bsky.social morning crew finally reunited to settle some unfinished business regarding the #summermoviewager. I only ask that @davechen.bsky.social, @devindra.bsky.social, & @jeffcannata.bsky.social don't laugh at our low scores youtu.be/sxnpyRpbdGs?...

We're in that window of time where I'm in the lead for the #SummerMovieWager with my picks. I'll take it.

@davechen.bsky.social @jeffcannata.bsky.social @devindra.bsky.social #summermoviewager There seems to be three dark horses that seems to go under the radar that might be big: MATERIALISTS, BRING HER BACK and THE LIFE OF CHUCK. All late May, and June releases. Might be an upset and surprise here.

After this weekend, there can be no doubt. @devindra.bsky.social will win the #summerMovieWager, calling 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 10th place on the nose. There were only two others (Germain and David) who even got 1 movie in the correct spot. Congratulations! Can't wait for Devindra's pick!

Somehow, against all odds and zero strategy when doing my #SummerMovieWager list for @thefilmcastpod.bsky.social I am in the lead for the SlackFilmcast leaderboards?

I am skeptical I will keep this lead but it feels nice for now (and means nothing to anyone but the 41 of us playing along lol)

Here is one of the scenarios where @devindra.bsky.social beat Germain in the #SummerMovieWager. To win, Disclosure Day must finish ahead of Scary Movie. Scary Movie has a slight advantage at this point.

What was clear by the end of July is about to become the official verdict. @devindra.bsky.social will win the #SummerMovieWager of 2026!

Well fought @davechen.bsky.social and @jeffcannata.bsky.social. There is always next year.

My current analysis of the #SummerMovieWager:

Germain is the favorite. It comes down to how likely Spider-man will beat out Toy Story. If Spider-man wins, Germain wins. If Toy Story Wins, Peter wins (or ties with BJ). Devindra has a chance if the Odyssey can surpass Toy Story.

1/

I think there are 4 other movies that will end up in the top ten: Spider-man, The Odyssey, Moana & Minions. It's too early to tell where they will fall. However, in many of the combinations that seem likely, Germain would win. That's who I'd have my money on.

Supergirl will not finish higher than 12th and may end up behind Mortal Kombat II. The opening weekend was a little less than Mortal Kombat and it's fall off will likely be worse. I don't think it catch up.

Disclosure Day will likely end up 11th, but if it does sneak past Scary Movie, this is big for Devindra who picked it for 10th. Peter would also benefit as it's his #9 pick.

#summerMovieWager

After 10 days of Toy Story, 3 days of Supergirl and 17 days of Disclosure Day. Here are some predictions:

Scary Movie will likely secure the 10th place with around $107-$110 million by the end of the summer

If it does, this is big for Germain and Peter.

I made some changes to the projections of my website about the #SummerMovieWager. I refined the methods that it uses to project future box office for movies that have been released and I added a chart which shows those projections for the current top 10 movies.
