It was pretty anti-climactic, really: even after my early lead, Kris didn’t even wind up needing her final three movies to beat me in the domestic opening box-office department. Almost every single movie I picked, with the exception of Still Very Fast And Quite Furious<\/em>, underperformed. After Earth<\/em> was a financial and critical dud. White House Down<\/em> didn’t deliver. None of the kid’s movies I picked came close to Monsters University <\/em>and Despicable Me 2<\/em>. And, while The Wolverine<\/em> did pretty well, it fell far short of the predictions for its opening weekend. Kris outplayed me to the tune of almost $70 million, even though she picked a few duds herself.<\/p>\n

Even worse: it looked like I had the lowest RT score portion of the summer locked up, but this morning I went back to check all the scores again, as they tend to fluctuate throughout the summer. My best-worst pick was Hammer of the Gods<\/em>, which had scored a zero! Unfortunately, a couple late reviews were added, and two of them were positive, meaning the film now scores at a 30%. Not good, but still enough to bump my total up over Kris’s, meaning she has the lowest combined RT score, meaning she wins that contest too. DAMN.<\/p>\n

Here’s a look at the final tallies:<\/p>\n
