Number 5: Ep. 891 - The 2026 Summer Movie Wager Results
As the seasons begin to change, the time of box office reckoning is upon us! Our friends Peter Sciretta, BJ Colangelo, and Germain Lussier join the Filmcast team to look back on this year’s summer box office results. Which films surged to the top of the list and which missed the mark? Who will reign supreme and win the wager? Listen to find out! We're making video versions of our reviews!

You can find the history of the game and play along at thesummermoviewager.com (thanks to Dennis for putting that site together). The general goal of this game is to predict the highest grossing films of the summer in terms of domestic box office, in the correct order. The closer you get to the final ranked order, the more points you get. This year, the summer movie wager began on April 30, 2026 (with the release of The Devil Wears Prada 2) and lasted through September 7, 2026, Labor Day, as usual. Each of your 13 picks (10 movies and 3 dark horses) gets a single score assigned to it by using the following rules: -If your picked movie for #1 OR #10 is correct, you score 13 points for it. -If your picked movie for 2-9 is correct, you score 10 points for it. -If your picked movie is only 1 spot away from its actual placement, you score 7 points for it. -If your picked movie is only 2 spots away from its actual placement, you score 5 points for it. -If your picked movie is placed inside the Top 10, you score 3 points for it. -If your picked movie is not placed inside the Top 10, you score 0 points for it. -For each of your picked dark horses placed inside the Top 10, you score 1 point. If two or more rules apply to a single pick, only that single rule will be applied which assigns the highest point value to that pick. For example: If your pick for #1 is correct, you don't get 16 points for it because it is #1 and because it placed inside the Top 10; instead you only get 13 points for it. Germain’s Top 10 1.
