Blade Runner, The Shape of Water, Star Wars and War for the Planet of the Apes, with Dunkirk, Logan, Thor and Wonder Woman playing jump ball for that last slot.

No surprises.

I think Beauty and the Beast and Dunkirk are very strong possibilities.

May the best of your todays be the worst of your tomorrows.
