With the summer movie season kicking off this weekend with Marvel's latest, Thunderbolts*, we’re taking a look at what's ahead for the summer schedule and also adding a bit of competitive spirit to the mix. We’ll discuss the movies on our radar between the first weekend of May and the end of August, but also each team member on the show has prepared a list of their predicted top ten box office earners of the summer, along with their predicted total worldwide gross. We’ll review everyone’s list and continue checking in throughout the summer to see who is closest.
