As this is written, there is still one day left in July, but the box office numbers are more or less good to go for a Summer Movie Draft update. How much did the rankings change since the last update? Remember, numbers are based on the world wide box office, and Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 2 is still champ there, with Despicable Me 3 right behind it...
Edward
1) Snatched : $59,133,218
2) Baywatch : $173,660,186
3) Transformers: The Last Knight : $568,899,479
4) Despicable Me 3 : $819,225,800
5) Atomic Blonde : $24,497,677
6) August movie :
Louis
1) King Arthur: Legend of the Sword : $140,775,066
2) Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul : $37,391,140
3) Captain Underpants : $87,082,031
4) Spider-Man: Homecoming : $633,756,805
5) The Emoji Movie : $25,650,000
6) August movie :
Jiaming
1) Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 : $860,634,272
2) Alien: Covenant : $232,461,184
3) Wonder Woman : $786,043,706
4) War for the Planet of the Apes : $224,592,468
5) Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets : $30,626,147
6) August movie :
Albert
1) Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales : $776,009,161
2) The Mummy (2017) : $396,929,695
3) All Eyez on Me : $44,887,387
4) Cars 3 : $268,742,093
5) Dunkirk : $234,136,220
6) August movie :
Current rankings...
Jiaming : $2,134,357,777
- Albert : $1,720,704,556
- Edward : $1,645,416,360
- Louis : $924,655,042
So, not much has really changed in the rankings, but it looks like Jiaming is definitely going to win this competition, and there's no way Louis is going to get out of last place. Spider-Man wasn't enough to get Louis out of that position, and Jiaming is still riding high on the strengths of Guardians and Wonder Woman; although it should be mentioned that the Apes movie was a solid addition to his draft picks.
The interesting match here is between Albert and Edward for second place, as they are only about $75 Million apart from each other. Transformers and Despicable Me gave Edward a nice bump from his previous box office numbers, and Dunkirk turned out to be a solid pick for Albert. There are only a handful of big movies in August, so could one of them tip the scale between the two? The next and final update will determine who gets second place.
