What's the statute of limitations on this replacement pick, all year? Until a blockbuster becomes available?

You can wait until something is added to the schedule if you like.

That's not really in the spirit of the game, though, is it? The idea of the game is that you pick films before the year begins, and it tests everyone's prediction skills equally. Replacements are changing that. They are obviously necessary but we should try to limit their unfair benefit as much as possible. A time limit would do that.

Already the replacements are not of equal value. Moana picked in Round 5, lol, versus Civil War in Round 3.

I think they should make the replacement now

Ok pick it now or never lol.

This isn’t something I thought about haha

I was gonna give Moana 2 to Shack to replace Wicked but then Wicked decided to stay put lol.

So we did get Moana as a replacement for Mickey 17, but to be fair it was expected that M17 would be added back onto the 2024 schedule.

How bout this as a rule: you can take however long you want but you can't pick anything that was added to the schedule after your original movie moved?

First reactions out of SxSW say Civil War is awesome. I wouldn't be that shocked if it made more than Moana lol.

Sounds fair

Were you going to replace Ballerina?

We’ll replace Ballerina with Red One

Who the heck messed up the spreadsheet?

So sorry that was me.

I sorted by the $$ amount for Picks 1 and didn't realise it messed up the whole spreadsheet.

However, rest assured I will fix it and it wont take me long. I will do it by later today my time. Please leave with me.

I'm half way through fixing it. Should have the remainder fixed and running perfectly over the next 12-24 hrs

Thank you.

I thought I had it as "anyone with this link can view".

No problem Mg. Thanks for admitting to it and then fixing the problem rather than just having Zwackerm killed to cover up your tracks.

Killing Zwack may have been easier

No - i knew the second i saw his post it was me as i had sorted the column the day before thinking it was read only and would not impact what anyone else saw. I was very wrong.

Zwackerm. - i’ve updated the two main Picks tabs and both will be correct now. I’ve made the film names uniform for bith tabs now so Picks 2 $$$ now looks up the Picks 1 tab via Vlookup. You now only have to add the gross for each film in the Picks1 tab, the Picks2 tab will auto link.

I just have to link up the other tabs which i’ll do this weekend.

Den of Thieves 2: Pantera has moved

Algen and I take Here as our replacement.

O and I took Here

In that case we'll take Never Let Go, the Halle Berry horror.

My draft by release date...


Argylle (Round 6) 2/2/24 45M So many good actors, so much potential, and so not Kingsman.

Madame Web (Round 7) 2/14/24 44M Well, it could have tapped into Spiderman's audience a little more than that.

Drive Away Dolls (Round 10) 2/23/24 5M Round 10, it is what it is.

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (Round 3) 3/22/24 113M The very low end of expectations.

Unsung Hero (Round 9) 4/26/24 20M It didn't get the church audience like it could have, but for round 9 it's not awful.

The Fall Guy (Round 2) 5/3/24 87M+ Won't hit 100M. I was expecting at least 150M given the summer kickoff spot, with higher potential.

The Watchers (Round 8) 6/7/24 7M OW Late round gamble that just didn't hit.

Bad Boys: Ride or Die (Round 4) 6/7/24 56M OW This is a winner, good opening, good 2nd weekend hold and WOM.

Inside Out 2 (Round 1) 6/14/24 155Mish OW Massive winner with an empty summer other than DM4. It will play well for a while.

The Lord of the Rings: War of the Rohirrim (Round 5) 12/13/24 Hard to predict how many LOTR fans will come out for an anime movie. I'm guessing a domestic gross between 50-100M.

A very meh draft until Bad Boys and Inside Out. I won't win, but at least now it's respectable.

The 1-2 punch of Bad Boys and IO2 is great though. Should be good for at least $600m.

I feel that to win - you need one of Deadpool, Joker and IO2. I have DM4 (4th to pick) but now with IO2 breaking out - can't see DM4 beating it.

Horizon Chapter 2 is no longer coming out in August however nothing has been confirmed about if and when it is to be released.

If it stays gone I propose Nosferatu as our replacement.

You can't reserve films. Take it or stick with Flop: An American Bomb - Chapter 2

Horizon cannot be replaced until the theatrical release is confirmed to be canceled, or it is dated for 2025.
