I have added so many movies to the roster of assessments/re-assessments this calendar year to the point that I had to do another deep dive into each group of overall guaranteed Flickuum movies to tally them altogether. But of course, that wasn’t quite all the tallying that I did for the eventual amount of 2,301 overall guaranteed Flickuum movies because in addition, I also factored in A) The amount of reserved Flickuum movies, B) The amount of Flickuum movies awaiting expedited re-assessments and C) The amount of potentially legit movies that are on the assessment/re-assessment roster from now through December 2025. So, with all of that being said, I came up with the final projected tally, which amounted to 2,336, and that’s 35 over the amount that I want heading into 2026. And given that A) Only “Running Scared ‘06” and “Ernest & Celestine: A Trip To Gibberitia” are the weakest links of the assessment/re-assessment roster, B) There’s definitely going to be more than 64 upcoming movies that will be the last ever ones to make The Project and C) I want the halfway point of The Project to be a full increment of 100, I have decided to expand the amount of Flickuum spots one more time, with the amount going from 2,400 to 2,600.
Yes, I think there are far too many worthy movies for The Flickuum Project to be pared down to just 2,400, especially with potential franchise continuation for “John Wick”, “Super Mario Bros.”, “M3GAN” and “Five Nights At Freddy’s”. And given that such continuations could happen beyond the New Year’s Day 2026 deadline, adding 200 extra spots makes perfect sense, especially when movies that are either not fairly new, not new or not upcoming should have the right to at least be assessed/re-assessed. So, given that, a half decade old movie, such as “Official Secrets”, gets an opportunity that it might have never gotten under the rules of 2,400.
The addition of “Official Secrets” to the roster of assessments/re-assessments isn’t the only ripple effect caused by expansion because in addition, The 99ers will be renamed 100 Stand, and the standings style battle involving both “Cruella” and “Boundaries” will be rendered pointless, thus they will get the “26F” designations in Tier 7. Looks like an Emma Stone movie will go up against both a Nadine Velazquez movie and Melissa Barrera movie March Madness style after all.
In summary, now that I have expanded to 2,600 Flickuum spots, I can really scour so many apps/websites for 166 more movies since that’s how many more serious contenders that I need to field the New Year’s Day 2026 deadline. Well, 165 actually because “Official Secrets” has put its hat into the ring. But still, I’m going to have my work cut out for me to see what else is worthy of the assessment/re-assessment roster.
Until the next time.
