October 29-31 Box Office Contest Finalists

Dune

Who said a sweeping, cinematic epic can’t pull down massive theatrical box office cake while streaming simultaneously on HBO Max. Clearly DUNE, the Warner Bros. event film, raised two middle fingers to that logic.

DUNE continued its box office run by winning the October 29-31 weekend with a score of $15.4 million.

FlickWish congratulates our following finalists who chose DUNE and didn’t look back:

Brett Nolan Lunenburg, MA DUNE
Caleb McCarthy Derry, NH DUNE
Kelly Brown Bradley, ME DUNE
Ronald Miller Rindge, NH DUNE
Ruth Blaney Littleton, MA DUNE

October 15-17 Box Office Contest Finalists

Halloween Kills

In Hollywood, you can’t keep a bloodthirsty psycho down, and Michael Myers proved that in a big way by carving himself a big slice of box office pie.

By setting the October 15-17 box office weekend on fire, HALLOWEEN KILLS clinched the top spot and scorched its way to an impressive $49.4 million payday.

FlickWish congratulates our sole finalist and winner who clearly felt the Halloween spirit:

Ruth Blaney Littleton, MA HALLOWEEN KILLS

October 1-3 Box Office Contest Finalists

Venom: Let There Be Carnage

As FLICKWISH RISING’s leaderboard for The 2022 FlickWish Championship takes shape, carnage was running wild throughout cinemas nationwide but in a money-making, non-pandemic sort of way.

With the Marvel chokehold once again keeping a tight grip on the box office dollars, VENOM: LET THERE BE CARNAGE crushed the competition during the October 1-3 box office weekend with a rake of $90 million.

FlickWish congratulates our sole finalist and winner who steered clear of ADDAMS FAMILY 2, DEAR EVAN HANSEN, and THE MANY SAINTS OF NEWARK by selecting “None of the Above”; thereby qualifying for the final drawing:

Ryan Smith Westford, MA NONE OF THE ABOVE (VENOM: LET THERE BE CARNAGE)
