Replacement picks are now a key part of the draft that I didn't prepare for. Will have to remember to not choose as many January movies next year.

Surely January movies are the safest, no? They are the closest ones to the start of the game and therefore the least likely to move/most likely to already have a trailer etc.

Yeah but any movie I picked as a replacement surely would do better than House Party? The Boogeyman wasn't even in the draft and will probably make more than a lot of 3rd/4th/5th round picks. Five Nights At Freddys could end up having Halloween to itself if Exorcist is a big mess like the rumors indicate.

This is a September theatrical. Good replacement pick for someone.


I didn't realise this but The Creator is already picked! by zwackerm. Its working title was "True Love", which zwackerm picked in round 5.

So this comment now makes zwackerm look very smug:

Well done, zwack. Hope it does well for you. Your odds just increased to 9/1 ;)

What kind of title was True Love for that movie?

I know, a bit strange, but they do try to disguise plots and things with working titles, and I'm sure when we see the movie we'll get it. The main robot hybrid's catchphrase is probably "true love makes the world go round" or something else random.

Nice! If Ghostbusters can at least match the last one, I could still be in this. I need Hunger Games to probably do up to $200 million or so though.

stuffp looks tough to beat with Mario, but if Oppenheimer does sub-$150 million, I don't think he's uncatchable for many.

We may not know who's going to win this time until December. It's like most that chose a good first/second round pick are having their lower picks disappoint; and those with disappointing first/second round picks are having their lower picks do pretty well. So it's pretty well balanced so far.

Kudos on your gamble paying off. You're definitely back in this now, although now it's coming out this year I don't think Ghostbusters is your iffy one, it's Hunger Games. It just really feels like that whole thing has passed, and it's too early for a revisit.

SolC9 is now up to second place.

And I no longer see myself winning this. It's stuffp's, imo. The Flash disappointing and Rise of the Beasts opening well but not sustaining that with its weekdays has really hurt my confidence. I'll get second place with ease, I feel, but first will need some remarkable legs from those aforementioned films or a mega gross from Dead Reckoning.

Stuffp has it in the bag. Zwackerm also has a chance but will probably finish second. The Flash underperforming unfortunately kills Algren's chances.

stuffp finally makes it to $600 million, and Elemental is a huge gift for Flava'd after the disappointment of Quantumania.

I've only got one more movie right? So probably end at about $600M. Will be a close battle for last place between me and shack!

One more new movie, yes. Meg 2: The Trench, but you've also got the rest of Elemental's run. $600m seems like a real target for sure.

I Hope Aquaman actually comes out lol. No trailer at this point is a bad sign.

Getting sub 200 from 2nd overall pick isn't ideal.

I've always thought it'd make way more sense to give Dune the December date and increase comparisons to Lord of the Rings. Swap it with Wonka and move Aquaman 2 to summer.

Aquaman and its sequel are SO summer movies, too.

There's no saving grace for zwackerm if it moves. The highest grossing replacement will be, like, $20m ... unless Napoleon or Killers of the Flower Moon do more.

zwack is one of us doomed either way as Aquaman 2 is probably making like 100m total the way DCEU is going.

That December release date I’m hoping will help it be an event at the holidays, as long as it’s not a tax write off or dumped onto Max.

Killers of the Flower Moon has Leonardo DiCaprio, who only has one box office flop to his name, J Edgar. He’s turned less commercial films than Killers, like The Revenant, into hits. If they keep it off Apple, I see 100m+
