Oh yeah, that time again, Box Office BIGSHOTS! Can you correctly pick the TOP 10 WORLDWIDE highest-grossing Hollywood films of the summer? If so, you'll be 2026’s B.O.B.—Box Office Bigshot. Fame. Fortune. Influence. Illusions of Grandeur. Will all be yours. To qualify, picks must be posted by Thursday, April 30th, 2026 @ 11:59pm PT. THE RULES: 5 points for every correct film in the domestic Top 10, regardless of placement. Then, an additional 10 points for #1, 9 points for #2, 8 points for #3…1 point for #10, etc. if you correctly guess the exact placement of any of the Top 10 highest-grossing films. MORE RULES: Totals are from films released domestically from the 1st weekend of May through Labor Day weekend. Grosses don't stop on Labor Day, though, as films keep tabulating until they leave theaters. So, winner will likely be announced in the fall. EVEN MORE RULES: Drop your Top 10 picks on the timeline before midnight on and be sure to include a tie-breaker, which is the dollar amount the #1 film will wind up with globally. You don’t need dollar amounts on the rest of the films, only your #1 pick. So list your picks like this: 1. RODNEY'S RAD ADVENTURE II: MONKEY BIZ ($1.526B) 2. UNTITLED SEQUEL 3. UNTITLED THREEQUEL And so on… Will there be a prize? I mean, maybe. Probably. But isn’t being the BOX OFFICE BIGSHOT enough? Trust me, it is. All your dreams will be fulfilled.

Sony Classics' THE ONLY LIVING PICKPOCKET IN NEW YORK stole $141k from just 6 theaters, swiping $23k per. This is vintage John Turturro--not to be missed. A love-letter to the man himself and NYC too. Seek this out--may just steal your heart.

Laika's WILDWOOD surprised with $11M this weekend, unfortunately for everyone involved... the budget was $100M. Luckily billionaire Nike founder Phil Knight can afford such write-off luxuries.

The budget isn’t really a point worth defending in regards to CLAYFACE. Listen, even MORBIUS debuted with $39M. CLAYFACE, which is drawn from one of the biggest IP brands in the world, dropped with $15M less than Sony's horror spinoff. A lower budget may limit the financial damage, but in no way does it create audience demand. And that's the point. Choosing CLAYFACE as the DCU’s third film was the misstep. Oh, and making 3 out of 4 set in the SUPERMAN universe. Yes, the DC brand is in trouble. What's new?

Clay didn't slay. WB's CLAYFACE is the #1 movie in North America w/ a debut of $24M, but the DC brand itself is in a freefall. You know what really sucks: even MORBIUS opened with $39M.

Neon's FJORD expanded into 107 theaters in its 3rd weekend w/ $333k, $3,114 per. Those aren't wide release numbers. Will have to drum up some serious awards chatter to stay afloat.
