Previously on Adam Riff™:
Q: Rank the following 2016 film adaptations of video games by projected final domestic box office, from largest to smallest: Ratchet and Clank, Angry Birds, Warcraft, Assassin's Creed.


As of Labour Day:

$$$ The Angry Birds Movie $107,483,144

So depending on how Assassin's Creed performs, I win, Russell wins, or we all lose.
