March Box Office Challenge Results

The Popcorn Guide absolutely destroyed Dave's Movie Reviews in the March Box Office Challenge. Dave's Movie Reviews had first pick for the month, but made a huge blunder by picking Greenzone instead of Alice in Wonderland. The Popcorn Guide picked the top 6 movies of the month. Domination of this magnitude is very unlikely in future months. I expect April to be much closer. Below is a breakdown of the results.

March Draft
1. Green Zone (DMR)
2. Alice in Wonderland (PG)
3. How to Train Your Dragon (PG)
4. Repo Men (DMR)
5. She's Out of My League (DMR)
6. The Bounty Hunter (PG)
7. Shutter Island (PG)
8. Brooklyn's Finest (DMR)
9. Our Family Wedding (DMR)
10. Remember Me (PG)
11. Diary of a Whimpy Kid (PG)
12. The Runaways (DMR)
13. Hot Tub Time Machine (DMR)
14. Cop Out (PG)
15. Avatar (PG)
16. Greenberg (DMR)

Below are the $ Totals for the month

1. Alice in Wonderland ($299,459,690)
2. How to Train Your Dragon ($57,883,758)

blunder? I do not mean to be a sore loser, but this game just isn't any fun. Alice in Wonderland was crap for the attention it got. Why do people insist on throwing their money away. Anyway, since I couldn't bring myself to pick anything that Tyler Perry does even though I knew it would do well, I have already lost April and really will not participate in another month. Unless you just like being a winner against someone who cannot comprehend why people watch and enjoy what they do.

This is a cool challenge...I don't usually think about which movies are actually making money!
