Can anyone play for this week? Or are these people the only ones allowed at the table?

Anybody can play any week. Groucho's Casino is open to all!
However, there are a limited number of films that make more than $10,000. This week there were only 56 qualifying films. Incidentally, the best possible film to pick was Terminator 3, so Numanoid had the best possible hand.
Round 2 will probably be posted in a new thread Thursday or Friday.

Will round 2 have the people having the same films, or will be a new crap shoot, so to speak?

At the request of the guy who picked "Bringing Down the House," players will be able to pick a new film each round (first come, first served).

Hey quick question, are you telling me no one in this whole country went out and saw Malibu’s Most Wanted? Even just to make out?
Oh and yeah, do you start picking your movies now, or groucho says when? In that case, I pix Pirates

Edited to add the numbers for Wrong Turn (it didn't help poor Autotelik at all). Nothing has been reported for Malibu's Most Wanted (yet).

I'll wait for next week's thread.
Urr...in case no one else waits for the thread, I'll take The Italian Job again...

Edited to add Malibu Most Wanted, which came in last anyways. Sorry, DRG!
I will probably start a new thread on Thursday for readability. I will carry any picks over from the tail of this thread. Except zerotl, who picked Pirates of the Carribean after it was already snagged by Blake.
