\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So! The long, stupid summer of stupid summer movies is winding to a end, and we can now more or less officially close the book on our First Annual Summer Movie Fantasy League.<\/p>\n

Heading into August, I only had about an $8 million box office lead over Kris, and we each had a movie left: I had Captain America, and she had Cowboys & Aliens. CA set a high mark with a $65 million domestic opening weekend, and C&A just couldn’t match it, coming in with a little over $36 million.<\/p>\n

<\/strong>In terms of our lowest Rotten Tomatoes movie scores, I was doing well thanks to the ultra-rotten Zookeeper, and the slightly rotten Transformers 3: Robots Etc. and Mr. Popper’s Penguins, giving me a score of 95 between all three movies. Unfortunately for Kris, one of her picks, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, has so far managed a surprisingly high RT score of 82, shocking the entire world, who thought it would be a stupid movie with stupid CGI apes. But, apparently, it’s pretty good.<\/p>\n

Along with her first pick of Larry Crowne, which did a respectably poor 35%, that puts her at a total of\u00c2\u00a0 117. While Kris still has one movie left, Spy Kids 4, it would have to score a negative 22 to tie me. I’m sure it will be rotten, but it just can’t be quite that rotten.<\/p>\n

Our third contest also went to me, where I picked Submarine to get a better RT score than her pick, Another Earth. My pick wound up with an 87, and hers managed a 63.<\/p>\n

Final scores below! Also, I rule in guessing things about summer movies! Whoo!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
