February - April Official Drafting Thread (Division A)

Post by Shrykespeare »

Here is the official drafting order for this league:

1. Banks, 8 picks, $82 spent
2. Buscemi, 8 picks, $83 spent
3. W, 8 picks, $94 spent
4. Shryke, 8 picks, $97 spent
5. Tranny, 8 picks, $76 spent

Since there are only five players and a huge number of movies to choose from, a full rack of eight films apiece will be chosen.

From this post, Banks has 12 hours to make his first selection. All selections after that must be made 12 hours or less after the previous one. Failure to pick in that time will result in your pick being skipped until such time as your pick is recorded.

If you can't log in and place it, you may e-mail or PM me a choice and I will place it for you. Failing that, you may send me a "draft order" and I will simply pick for you the highest-ranked film on your list that has not been chosen.

Round 1:
1. Banks - The Hunger Games ($26)
2. Buscemi - The Lorax ($25)
3. W - John Carter ($26)
4. Shryke - Wrath of the Titans ($22)
5. Tranny - Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance ($16)

Round 2:
6. Tranny - American Reunion ($15)
7. Shryke - Safe House ($15)
8. W - Titanic 3D ($16)
9. Buscemi - This Means War ($16)
10. Banks - 21 Jump Street ($14)

Round 3:
11. Banks - The Vow ($11)
12. Buscemi - Journey 2: The Mysterious Island ($14)
13. W - Star Wars Ep 1: The Phantom Menace ($15)
14. Shryke - Tyler Perry's Good Deeds ($12)
15. Tranny - Wanderlust ($12)

NEWS: PLEASE READ

These have just been made official by Box Office Mojo:

House at the End of the Street has been bumped to September. I have removed it from the list.

Seeking a Friend For the End of the World has been bumped to Juen. I have removed it from the list.

The Raven has been bumped from 3/9 to 4/27. Because it only has one weekend to get stats in this league, I have changed it's price tag to $7 (Ult) and $6 (BO).

Undefeated has been pushed from 2/10 to 2/17.



I see that someone (Boosh?) has pushed The Pirates! to 4/27 as well, even though BOM and TheNumbers have yet to report it. What is your source for this date change?



ETA: I have added dollar amounts to each film, as well as a running total for how much everyone has spent. Since everyone will have eight movies on their slate, this will be to prevent anyone from going over-budget.

The Pirates delay comes from HSX.

As for my second pick, I'll pick This Means War.

Funny, I just noticed that the Division A is an "all-American" club, while we on the Division B are a "rest of the world" club (yes UDM, I'm counting your European roots ;) )
