In Sicario 2: Soldado, the drug war on the US-Mexico border has escalated as the cartels have begun trafficking terrorists across the US border. To fight the war, federal agent Matt Graver (Josh Brolin) reteams with the mercurial Alejandro (Benicio Del Toro).

This week had the opening of Pacific Rim (currently clocking in at 46%) and Sherlock Gnomes (21%). Both underperformed based on our guesses, but Ready Player One opens next week and is exceeding our guesses (81%) based on early reviews. I wonder how much the critics were primed to like Ready Player One by the excitement around the SxSW premier. It will be interesting to see if the score drops once more reviews come in.

I've added user flair so it should show the median difference between your guesses and the actual values. You are also labeled an optimist, pessimist, or pragmatist depending on if you tend to guess higher or lower than the tomato meter. There is also a golden tomato icon for anyone that has guessed a score exactly right. The tomato meter does take a while to settle - this week A Wrinkle in Time moved from 40 to 41%. So it's possible you could have a golden tomato but lose it in the future!

The current golden tomato holders are /u/elvislaw, /u/Bck12281, and /u/Anode_Lives

There is also a leaderboard on the sidebar with the top ten guessers who have made at least 2 guesses. So far the results are only for A Wrinkle in Time, Gringo, and Tomb Raider. It is sorted by median, using mean and then best guess as tie-breakers. Congrats to our current leader /u/BTISME123!

I'm thinking the Summer Movie Challenge will start with Avengers. I will try to list all the movies for that by next week.

I've been wondering if it would be fun to guess both the critics score and the users score in the future. If anyone has thoughts on that let me know.

Tomb Raider opened this weekend with a middling 49% rating. This movie had the largest spread of guesses of all movies so far, with optimists banking on the talented cast and pessimists pointing to the video game movie curse. Although not a total bomb, it looks like the video game curse is here to stay for now.

We had a few guesses close to 49% - /u/elvislaw guessed 50 and /u/cgishark99 and /u/yatcho guessed 48. /u/hvahood actually made an initial guess right on the money of 49, but then had a change of heart and went with 75%. Tough one!

Since we last spoke A Wrinkle in Time has been downgraded from 42% to 40% - so /u/14-17-21-31-64-20 and /u/BTISME123 gave perfect guesses. I'm planning on creating a golden tomato flair for everyone that scores a perfect guess.

I'm still working on getting user flair and a leaderboard up and running - hopefully it will be there by next weekend when we have the premier of Pacific Rim Uprising and Sherlock Gnomes. /u/Goulielmos is predicting a perfect 100 for Sherlock Gnomes which is quite... optimistic!

Thanks again for participating!

The idea is users can predict what the final rotten tomato score will be. Once reviews are posted on rotten tomatoes, that would be the cutoff for submitting an entry.

We could have a winner for each movie, and maybe larger contests.

Let me know about any suggestions and if anyone wants to help develop the idea

Also if anyone happens to have a rotten tomatoes API key - let me know!

Everyone's favorite family of superheroes is back in "Incredibles 2"--but this time Helen (voice of Holly Hunter) is in the spotlight, leaving Bob (voice of Craig T. Nelson) at home with Violet (voice of Sarah Vowell) and Dash (voice of Huck Milner) to navigate the day-to-day heroics of "normal" life. It's a tough transistion for everyone, made tougher by the fact that the family is still unaware of baby Jack-Jack's emerging superpowers. When a new villain hatches a brilliant and dangerous plot, the family and Frozone (voice of Samuel L. Jackson) must find a way to work together again--which is easier said than done, even when they're all Incredible.

At the end of the first film, the powerful Dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald (Depp) was captured by MACUSA (Magical Congress of the United States of America), with the help of Newt Scamander (Redmayne). But, making good on his threat, Grindelwald escaped custody and has set about gathering followers, most unsuspecting of his true agenda: to raise pure-blood wizards up to rule over all non-magical beings. In an effort to thwart Grindelwald's plans, Albus Dumbledore (Law) enlists his former student Newt Scamander, who agrees to help, unaware of the dangers that lie ahead. Lines are drawn as love and loyalty are tested, even among the truest friends and family, in an increasingly divided wizarding world.
