Just want to check here, MaXXXine, Longlegs, and The Bikeriders are not part of the game, right?

They are not, but they are eligible replacement picks.

Well thank you for the caution. Now we can take Longlegs when Horizon confirms its move. :P

I think zwackerm wins this group. And dare I say it, I think he does it with ease.

Also - not that it's a stat I care for much - but I think he will win it overall when all players are ranked together. He currently has $454m, and his top three are Wicked, Joker, and Beetlejuice. That's $900m right there. The most I can get is $1.25bn or thereabouts. SolC9 could disrupt if LotR surprises, but I expect that to do less than $100m, so he's not catching me or zwackerm. stuffp could even beat him.

Wolfs is going limited following Apple shitting themselves about theatrical. Surely a replacement pick is in play?

I already checked with zwack. He said no, unless they do not report numbers. So I guess we're stuck with Wolfs.

I'd say its almost certain to not report grosses, if that's the case it can be replaced when actuals are reported that weekend.

Hopefully Horizon 2 gets pushed off the schedule before Wolfs doesn't report its gross lol. Longlegs is gonna top out around $75M but thats still probably better than Nosferatu or any of the oscar bait.

Hey, you need Longlegs more than me. I'd be happy if you get it and I get Strangers: Chapter 1.

The odds are in your favour. Chapter 2 plays at the Venice Film Festival on 7th September. Wolfs isn't in theatres until 20th September. So based on the audience reaction there's two weeks for New Line/Warner Bros. to decide what to do with Chapter 2.

But even if we do not get Longlegs, which is fine, there are other potentially lucrative films available.

Ok, so let's pick a replacement! :D

I suggest a little known film called Longlegs. I know it's a longshot but I really feel it has something. What say you, Gez? ;)

Hmmm not sure. I “long” to select a sure fire hit but this doesnt seem like much of a hit. However, as “long” as you want it…… let’s go for it! :shades:

Well, zwack has won this group. He's far behind but he has three real biggies. And Beetlejuice appears to be surpassing expectations.

Looks like MadGez needs 400 mil Sonic, zwackerm needs 500 mil Wicked, O needs some combination like 500 mil Moana, 300 mil Mufasa, 180 mil Gladiator, 70 mil Complete Unknown.

Joker: Folie a Deux is the worst pick of the draft, but I reckon LOTR is a very close second. It was picked in round 5 where I picked A Quiet Place: Day One and Shack picked Mean Girls. So there were big movies still picked in that round, and LOTR may not even make $10m.

flip1 went from a $193m round 4 pick to LOTR in round 5 currently at $4.9m, and every one of his remaining picks will outgross it.

zwacks needs almost exactly 500 million for Wicked to get to stuffp. I think he's not going to make it.
