## What is Popcorn Wars?

Your friend group already argues about which movie is going to blow up this weekend. Now there's a score.

Popcorn Wars is a movie prediction league for friend groups. Predict opening weekend box office numbers. Compete head-to-head with your friends. Crown a champion at the end of every season.

You start a league. You invite your group — the Marvel die-hards, the "I only watch A24" snob, the cousin who saw Top Gun three times. Each weekend, everyone locks in a number for the new releases. The closer you are, the more points you score.

The app does the math. You do the trash talk.

Built for the friend who organizes everything — and the group chat that's been arguing about Hollywood for years.

→ Free to play. Expensive to lose.
→ Not another app that needs you every day.
→ Made by friends who take movies too seriously.

This started as a spreadsheet and a group chat that got way too competitive. It became a whole thing — weekly emails, surprising amounts of research, trash talk that occasionally went too far.

Popcorn Wars is that same game, without the spreadsheet.

What you get:
- Commissioner-run leagues — you set the slate, the tone, the season length
- Weekly box office predictions with bonus points for getting close
- Head-to-head matchups and end-of-season playoffs
- In-app chat for talking trash without leaving the league
- Designed for one quick check-in per week — that's the whole ask

No real money. No gambling. Just bragging rights.

The only thing missing is your group chat.
