Official Global League

Your bracket

• Top 10: ten movies, ranked 1–10. Each movie can be used once.
• Dark Horses: three more picks (slots 11–13).
• Replacement Pick: one optional extra, used only if a selection loses eligibility.
• Every save becomes your active bracket. You can edit until the submission deadline.

Scoring

• All grosses are domestic (U.S. & Canada) box office only — not worldwide/global.
• Top 10: only movies finishing in the actual final Top 10 score points. Points = 10 − |predicted rank − actual rank|. (Predicted #1, finishes #1 = 10 pts; predicted #4 finishes #6 = 8 pts; finishes outside the Top 10 = 0.)
• Dark Horses: 1 point if the movie finishes in the Top 13. No ranking-difference scoring.
• Total: Top 10 points + Dark Horse points.
• Standings score live off current domestic box office during the season and finalize when all films released within the eligible release window have finished their theatrical runs.

Replacement logic

If a selected movie loses eligibility, lower-ranked picks shift up automatically, Dark Horses move up, and your Replacement Pick becomes the final Dark Horse.

Eligibility & the locked slate

• Eligible movies must have a theatrical release and report domestic grosses. Streaming-only titles are not eligible.
• A movie must be on the official slate before submissions close. Once the slate locks, no movies can be added or become eligible — a film excluded before the deadline stays excluded even if it becomes a top grosser.
• Weekend estimates are shown marked EST and replaced by finalized figures.

Tiebreakers

1. Tiebreaker #1: How many movies you ranked exactly right.
2. Tiebreaker #2: When you create your bracket, you must predict the final domestic gross of the movies that you pick to finish the season at #1 and #2. The closest combined predictions for those movies — even if you picked different movies to finish #1 and #2 than the person you are tying with — earn Tiebreaker Points (separate from season total points from your Top 10 and Dark Horse points). Per movie you can earn: within 5% = 1, 10% = .85, 15% = .70, 25% = .50, 40% = .25, otherwise 0. In other words, you can earn up to 1 Tiebreaker Point for both of your picks for a total of 2 points. Ties broken by who was closest overall with their box office prediction.
3. Tiebreaker #3: If Tiebreakers #1 and #2 still result in a tie, then there will be Co-Champions.

Re-releases, release windows & date changes

• Summer 2026 release window: April 24 – September 7, 2026.
• The entire continuous theatrical run of an eligible movie counts, including grosses earned past September 7th — the film just has to release before September 7th.
• Re-releases do not count toward grosses if a film has left theaters and then returns. The exception: if a film re-releases within the eligible window, that re-release is eligible.
• If a film moves out of the eligible release window, Replacement Pick logic applies. If a player has more than one pick leave the window after submissions lock, individual leagues may evaluate case-by-case — but the Global League allows no further replacements.
• If a film gets an expanded release mid-run, it stays eligible as long as it was continuously in theaters.
