Meatballs, Every Which Way But Loose, and Mean Streets are tied for the last two! Kinda surprising that a Scorsese movie is struggling against these two. Also surprising to find out that Don't Look Now is not as beloved as I thought. I was certain it was a hit with King fans for being so creepy.

I was really hoping it would be Mean Streets and Don’t Look Now going through, but at least Mean Streets still has a chance.
