"Those elements contributed to a $5 price tag for the sequel, which looks like a bargain after the movie pulled in more than $26 million over its opening weekend. Between the box-office numbers (26 points, one for every million earned), the ten-point bonus for clearing $25 million, and the 20-point bonus for getting No. 1 at the box office, Black Phone 2 has already dialed up 56 points for the 1,773 teams who drafted it."
"As for Tron: Ares, last weekend's disappointing $33 million opening was followed by an even more disappointing 67 percent drop-off in its second week, good for only $11.1 million. Even so, at $54 million cumulative after a fortnight, Ares has hit enough box-office milestones to sit at 99 points total, good for second-most in the league to date. But for the 896 of you who placed your faith in those sleek, futuristic cityscapes, the box office is plummeting fast"
"On the flip side, our overall points leader after four weeks, One Battle After Another, sits at 106 points, only 7 ahead of Tron: Ares. But the trajectory for Paul Thomas Anderson's movie couldn't be higher. It picked up another $4 million at the box office, bringing it to $61 million on its way to the next bonus-point threshold of $75 million. And after that, awards season awaits."
Black Phone 2 opened to more than $26 million, overcoming skepticism after the first film's definitive kill-off of its villain and poor reception. The sequel's box-office return yielded bonuses that totaled 56 fantasy points for drafting teams. Tron: Ares opened to $33 million but suffered a 67 percent second-week drop to $11.1 million, reaching $54 million cumulative and 99 league points while showing rapid decline that could hinder awards prospects. One Battle After Another leads the league with 106 points and added $4 million, bringing its total to $61 million and moving toward a $75 million bonus threshold and awards-season momentum.
