And DONE!

If anyone's films get postponed, I will let y'all know. And if additional movies get added in future months, I will post it so they may be acquired.

By the way, and in no way am I knocking W's ability at the game, but if he were not to win this league it would be astonishing. He had the top rated movie which cost more than $20 more than any other movie, and yet still didn't use his full budget. The extra cost should impact the players ability to craft a decent slate, but the pricing this season seemed far too conservative. How can a movie that is highly likely to top more than $300m and have a huge haul of top 5s in the dearth of August be priced less than $50? W has an excellent slate, but that was because the pricing allowed it this month. Definitely a battle for second place, just hope I'm in the fight!

Well, my first word in the thread was "Sorry..."

Though not as bad, next season I think the first pick is going to win again. That's why they stopped doing them a decade ago. It's very fun when you have a few ways it can go, and the full year can sometimes curb some of that downside, but it's hard to do in a three month window. I'll hopefully be posting some news on the full year ultimate sometime today. And I'm hoping to curb some of the advantage for that league.
