After last week's largely unchanged Bets, this week is a different story. Largely hinging on excellent reporting by Jordan Ruimy/World of Reel-that reporting is detailed below in the following summation of hos collection of posts dating back to Independence Day.
That said, here's a repeat of last week's Ten Bets and other possibilities

3) The Son/Zeller
4) Close/Dhont

BOUNCING AROUND
As mentioned above, there is some jumbling of the Ten Bets for this week owing to reporting from Jordan Ruimy. If you compare last week's Ten Bets with this week's you'll see that some films have disappeared, some jumped on and Bardo is still on the list, but moved from the top spot down to #6.
All of that comes as a result of Jordan's reporting at World of Reel.
Specifically two posts from the last week. Ruimy posted a piece on July 4th indicating that sources had told him that Bardo would NOT being playing fall fests and that Blonde and White Noise would NOT be at Telluride. Including for T-ride, according to his reporting, will be: Armageddon Time (Gray), Women Talking (Polley), The Pale Blue Eye (Cooper) and TAR (Fields).
I was devastated as my personal hope for list included Bardo and Blonde (in addition to Babylon-which is hanging onto the "maybe: list by the slimmest of threads.
Then on Wednesday, Ruimy was back with a different spin on Bardo. Ruimy indicated that a new source was telling him that Bardo would be ready for screening at fall fests. Ruimy writes:
"I had it confirmed this late afternoon that Inarittu and Netflix are hopeful “Bardo” will be done on time for the fall fests."
Sooo...Bardo stays on the Ten Bets but takes a 5 position demotion. Shaky! My belief had been that Bardo would play Venice and then make the trans-Atlantic jump to southwestern Colorado. We'll see...
As you can see, I have linked both of Ruimy's posts.
MUCH MORE MARCEL
As Marcel the Shell with Shoes On continues its rollout nationwide, there continue to be stories that pop up highlighting the film about the plucky mollusk. I have some of those here from this week"
SHE SAID IS DONE -IT TESTED
Again reporting from Jordan Ruimy tells us that Maria Schrader's She Said (the film about the Harvey Weinstein affair) has screen tested and seems to have done well.
I think there some possibility that it screens in the San Juans on Labor Day weekend.
