So, I present to you the final numbers and the winner...
We’re a bit more than halfway through summer movie season (though 80% of the big contenders have already been released), so I figured it was high time to see what’s going on with the Summer of LAMB. Below is a screenshot that lists all entrants, their guesses, and the actual box office totals as of July 14 (thanks to boxofficereport.com for the data). All figures are in millions.

[Editor’s Note: Our last entry (Matt from The Spoon) forgot to insert predictions for the box office dollars in his S.O.L. entry. He should have gotten together with DC Girl, who sent in a perfectly formatted and complete entry (thank you)…but sent it in past the deadline. Though she will be ineligible to win, her entry still deserved to be posted. Thanks to all that sent in their S.O.L. entries – a scoring update will...

Just a quick note to let those playing in the Summer of LAMB know that the scoring system has been determined.

* An additional point will be awarded for placing a film in the correct position within the top 10 (i.e. if you picked Indiana Jones to finish first and it does, you would now have two total points).
* An...
