Well that was pretty much everything I was looking at for these picks... I guess I'll take Renfield . Looks like it could be a dumpster fire within a dumpster fire and will only be there for 3 weeks if it doesn't move but it has a release date, a major distributor, and maybe the Nic Cage "renaissanc...

Devotion

edit: That may be a record for fastest time between successive picks in the draft

I was about to say…

Nope, you’re free to pick at any point even if you’re late

If anyone wants to send me a list, feel free. I'm connected most of the day and only get like 6 hours of sleep if I'm lucky

Getting to that point in the draft where the August/September releases don't look all that bad :lol: So I'll start with Beast . Idris Elba, Will Packer Productions and a dated poster that came out at CinemaCon so a reasonable shot to stick on the calendar. Not sure how much of a chance I give it to ...

Heading home from work, I’ll pick when I get back

So if Screen's twelve hours run out, do we skip him or just list his pick that previously listed before he had to be told it wasn't his turn?

If he were to be skipped, we should give him Megan.

Screen picked Megan before he had to clear it out because Ron hadn't gone yet. Not sure if we feel the need to wait for him to reconfirm it though.

That's the one I would've taken if I didn't want to risk Borderlands. Only hangup is that I feel like there have been 57 movies made about that story already. Supposedly it tested really well though.

Definitely considered I Wanna Dance with Somebody for my last pick, but the underwhelming performance of Respect and some inside information I have from my buddy who worked as a PA on it scared me off

Was the inside info that it might only make $100M?

It's starting to get hard to pick already... at least we cut the rounds down haha. I'll go with I Wanna Dance With Somebody for my first pick. It's a musical biopic dated for Christmas time, Whitney is as big of a star as you can get for one of these and supposedly Naomi Ackie is good enough in it t...

That's the other movie I was debating here Chien, good pick. I ended up getting scared off by how badly the original bombed but it could easily break out if they do it the right way and don't restrict the appeal to the tiny D&D community niche. I just couldn't find enough info on the production to f...

I'll start off with Halloween Ends . The 2nd was a dud but they're probably going to kill off Laurie Strode in this one so maybe it can get a finale bump back into the $100M range. At the very least, it has a floor coming out in spooky movie season. Then I'll stay on theme and go with Haunted Mansio...

That makes me even less sure of my picks thus far
