 Re: World of KJ Box Office Draft 2023 2023 probable #1 pick (Barbie): 16th pick
2022 (Top Gun Maverick): 9th/16th
Interesting that we could be so far off. What would be the 16th pick in a 2024 draft, like Twisters or Furiosa or something?

Interesting that we could be so far off. It's what I've been saying for a while now; KJers are just not good at predicting box office. We love box office, but we're not good at it. We're only good when preview/tracking numbers become available. Before that, we're clueless. Nobody foresaw Barbie, nobody foresaw Maverick, nobody foresaw the flops of Flash and, to a lesser degree, Dead Reckoning Part One. Everyone had Elemental down to continue Pixar's slump. Wrong again, lol. _________________STOP UIGHUR GENOCIDE IN XINJIANG

Re: World of KJ Box Office Draft 2023 So Corpse, what are you picking to replace the Ghostbusters: Afterlife sequel?
I feel I know what you'll pick, but you're Corpse. You don't always pick the most obvious movies. But I reckon it might be a certain Oscar hopeful.

Re: World of KJ Box Office Draft 2023 I’d be happy to swap A Haunting in Venice for your Ghostbusters pick Corpse……

Re: World of KJ Box Office Draft 2023 Haha. Well, first, NOOO GHOSTBUSTERS! Looked like picking it as a risk was going to payoff too.
And if there's an obvious pick for me to replace it with... I don't know what that is, so don't tell me! I'll try to find it by the end of the day and pick it for my replacement. lol. (Sorry MadGez.)

Re: World of KJ Box Office Draft 2023 Riggs is now in my rearview and I'm up to 4th place. But not for long as zwackerm will overtake me in a day or so. I think fourth might be the highest I get in this game.

Re: World of KJ Box Office Draft 2023 Flava'd will become the first player to use all of his picks when The Meg 2: The Trench comes out next Friday. And he's in third place (might be fourth by then).

And this unspoken pick won't make $100m. _________________STOP UIGHUR GENOCIDE IN XINJIANG

Napoleon is a sure thing to make 100m? Scott’s filmography since the Martian begs to differ. Yeah but Napoleon has to be the most famous person ever to not have a big film about them. His name is a brand. Combining that with being a pseudo-oscarbait flick with a giant budget, perfect release date and a major movie star performance from Phoenix will result in a big hit at the box office (though maybe not the oscars where there will be such heavy competition.) The Unchosen Mysterious Obvious Pick also has a lot going for it, but it might only play well in the big cities. We shall see how Murica embraces it.

I tend to agree Naploean will be a $100m+ hit based off this being the first MAJOR film about Napolean. Plus it looks good and Ridley Scott films are quite accessible. Sure, it's not a lock for $100m but looks to be a good bet. The other film - well it could do anything between $50 to $150m. _________________

Re: World of KJ Box Office Draft 2023 The only movies worth picking as replacements (should any of our movies should get postponed) are:
1. Killers of the Flower Moon
2. Dumb Money
3. The Holdovers
4. My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3
5. Poor Things
6. Retribution
7. The Hill
I also ranked them by their potential.
