2012 Summer Movie Pool

So, I stumbled across something cool while watching an episode of the Totally Rad Show recently.  Every year they take part in the Summer Movie Pool, a fun contest hosted over at Time Travel Reviews.  You can click the link to get all the specific details, but the basic goal is this: pick the ten movies, in order, you think will make the most money at the domestic box office this summer.  The "summer" runs May through August this year, so The Avengers is the first eligible movie, and anything that comes out Labor Day weekend are the last eligible movies.  You also only get credit for the money that a movie makes during that period, so it's probably best to stay away from the Labor Day movies entirely.

So, after all that, here are our lists.  We already revealed them on the podcast, but I thought it would be nice to have an easy to find written version to look to as the summer progresses.  I know they look pretty similar, but we promise we didn't collaborate at all on our lists.  We all want to win, obviously.  If you want, put your lists in the comments and you'll have written proof of your prophetic powers if you end up nailing it.
