| Historical Charts Updated Jan 18th The Main Contenders
"Small" Films-- These are films whose ratings numbers are good, but whose budget/box office/studio is small enough to seriously handicap them. This includes all films with box office under $20m, well after release, and anything which isn't from an established major or mini-major. If their box office reaches $20m, they will be put in the main box again. These films are still contenders, but they have to hope that the higher-profile films fail to impress to get enough attention to be in serious play. Something like wild card candidates in sports playoffs.

Stats for these will be updated monthly. Stats as of Jan 10th:
