Re: World of KJ Box Office Draft 2023 Are we allowed to call it Killers of the Flower Moon again?  I could see Dumb Money being a hit too, but Moon has so much more potential coming off Oppenheimer.

Re: World of KJ Box Office Draft 2023 If it had mainstream marketing I feel like Poor Things would have potential (something about that CGI sky aesthetic in the trailer fits in with modern audiences) but a hit for Searchlight lately is The Menu's 38 million.

Re: World of KJ Box Office Draft 2023 Nice. Corpse could have $300m of replacement picks.

Re: World of KJ Box Office Draft 2023 It would appear that The Underdoggs has moved to 26th January 2024. So, lol, Corpse has yet another replacement movie to pick.
That takes it to HALF of his picks being replaced.

Re: World of KJ Box Office Draft 2023 This happened last year too. I think over half my movies moved last year though. I'll make another replacement later today.

Re: World of KJ Box Office Draft 2023 I should get an extra $50M bonus for not having any of my films move. With The Meg and Elemental looking to get another $50M at best, I'll finish around $630M. Solc9 will probably pass me with Exorcist alone. So it'll be down to Shack to save me from coming in last place. Wish could breakout big though...

Re: World of KJ Box Office Draft 2023 Nah Gez has at least $250M left. Shack probably has about $400M left with Wish, Beetle and Equalizer, I just gotta hope one of the three severely underperforms.

Re: World of KJ Box Office Draft 2023 Thank heavens that M:I managed to overtake Rise of the Beasts. That would have been embarrassing if my highest grosser was a third round pick, but it also shows that Transformers overperformed because it's the best third round pick so far and likely will end the year there as well. And I guess Indy 5 and Dead Reckoning will now finish in the same ball park.
Joy Ride and Rise of the Beasts seem to have ended reporting numbers. A little early by Paramount, imo.
Oh, and Corpse still hasn't chosen a replacement for his final round pick. I'm half-joking here but should it expire and he be left with the highest-grossing released and unpicked film? which would currently be Talk to Me with $31m and counting.

Re: World of KJ Box Office Draft 2023 Talk To Me still has some juice left so it wouldn't be a bad choice. And there's no guarantee that the next best options like Dumb Money, Iron Claw, Ferrari, The Holdovers, etc... will be any better. I think Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon could hit $100M if given a proper release but doesn't look like Netflix has any interest in that.

Re: World of KJ Box Office Draft 2023 Oh without doubt it would be a decent pick, especially for a last pick. He would instantly win the final round. I mean, personally I would pick it, it's just there are others such as Dumb Money, The Holdovers, My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3, Ferrari, and Retribution that may tickle Corpse's fancy.

Re: World of KJ Box Office Draft 2023 He's lucky nobody else has had a pick move out of the year.

Re: World of KJ Box Office Draft 2023 Oh. I didn't tell you time flows differently for corpses, did I?
I choose... MBFGW 3.

Re: World of KJ Box Office Draft 2023 There's not much left for Riggs to choose, so I can understand him not caring to pick a replacement. It's near the end of the game and he loses a biggie. There's no incentive to pick, say, Dumb Money with a potential of $25 million, when he's just lost a potential $100m pick.

Re: World of KJ Box Office Draft 2023 Shack's draft is fascinating. He went second and he's tenth with zero likelihood of even reaching ninth. It's so bizarre. Indy underperforming really killed his game. Wish will have to do, like, $300m for him to get back any respect, and it ain't going to do that. The Equalizer 3 will do a respectable $80m probably, which doesn't even put him over $400m. By that time Riggs (his best chance to not finish in last place) will be over $500m and depending on his replacement pick could go even higher.
