What is Top Billing?
Top Billing is a daily movie puzzle game. Each day, you rank five films by their box office earnings and then by their critic scores. The goal is to see how well you can separate commercial hits from critical favorites.
How to play Top Billing
Each day presents a themed set of five movies. In Round 1, you sort them from the biggest box office haul to the smallest. In Round 2, you sort the same films again by critic scores before locking in your answers.
Tips & strategy
- Think about the release era, as older films often have lower raw box office totals even if they were massive hits.
- Consider the genre and franchise status—sequels and blockbusters usually dominate the box office.
- For critic scores, remember that big-budget spectacles sometimes underperform critically compared to smaller dramas.
- Use the daily theme as a clue; the movies are usually related in some way, which can help provide context.
- Reflect on pop culture buzz and awards season chatter to gauge critical reception.
