The Summer Movie Wager is a game that we play during the summer of each year. You can find the history of the game and play along at thesummermoviewager.com (thanks to Dennis for putting that site together). The general goal of this game is to predict the highest grossing films of the summer in terms of domestic box office, in the correct order. The closer you get to the final ranked order, the more points you get. This year, the summer movie wager began on April 30, 2026 (with the release of The Devil Wears Prada 2) and lasted through September 7, 2026, Labor Day, as usual.

Each of your 13 picks (10 movies and 3 dark horses) gets a single score assigned to it by using the following rules:

-If your picked movie for #1 OR #10 is correct, you score 13 points for it.

-If your picked movie for 2-9  is correct, you score 10 points for it.
