2013 Summer Box Office Showdown - Results

It feels like a thousand years ago that Brad, Nick, and I had our 2013 summer movie draft. Well, the results are in and they're shocking. I think this graph really shows it best.

Brad wins, it really wasn't even a contest.

Dollar Totals

Brad               $      1,254,981,853.00

Nick               $        -228,354,885.00

Josh               $         524,119,735.00

Brad absolutely ran away with the victory. I honestly thought that I couldn't be beat with Iron Man 3 but I couldn't have been more wrong. Major losers like Paranoia, Pacific Rim, and White House Down were almost bad enough to completely erase IM3's $700 million plus adjusted gross. Brad proved that the family dollar is plentiful as Despicable Me 2 and Monsters University combined to haul in over $850 million in adjusted gross. Fast and Furious 6 also played a large part in Brad's billion dollar total. Nick had several high grossing films, including the surprise of the summer Purge and Man of Steel, but couldn't overcome the anchor that was The Lone Ranger.
