2017-18 Full Year Draft Thread (Division B)

[Buscemi]

With Ron skipped, I will post Surfer's next pick. Surfer selects...



Err, I mean Detroit.

[BanksIsDaFuture]

Well the fact that this hasn't been picked in either Division makes me think I may be jumping the gun, but I think it'll end up being bumped up from its current date.

Right now it only has 2 weekends in play, but if you look at the first 10 days of the last movie with same star/director/writer, that's $98M. While I don't think it can do that, once Ready Player One is inevitably delayed again, WB will have a prime action movie to take advantage of Easter. I just hope we don't reach Rock over saturation at that point.

I'll take Rampage.

[Buscemi]

Rampage is a video game adaptation and those are rarely successful. And with Warner Bros. opening Tomb Raider a month earlier, it could get pushed like Meg was (Ready Player One's more likely to move up).

Now where's Jas?

[Ron Burgundy]

For my skipped pick I'll have Bastards

For my skipped pick I'll have Bastards

That's just BEGGING for a snarky line...

I was debating between a few films, but ultimately I am going with the film I really want and I figure might not be around much longer. So for the 2nd year in a row I am picking Annihilation.

Wow. Like sixty seconds after it was picked in Division A. Weird.

[Buscemi]

Going from one story about women banding together to another.

I will select Girls Trip and hope for a mini Bad Moms.

[Leestu]

I was hoping to get Rampage here. I don't know much about this but everythings a gamble now so I'll take Anubis

[Shrykespeare]

Okay, but this point we're picking films that we hope can clear $50M. So I'm going to pick Pacific Rim: Uprising and hope it can do $50M with a new director and no Charlie Hunnam or Idris Elba. At least Charlie Day is back, and I'm hoping Ron Perlman is in there somewhere.

[Spectre]

I'm amazed that's still out there at this point Shryke. If it doesn't get pushed, that's a steal at the back of the 7th.

[Buscemi]

The leads are John Boyega (who just had a dud with The Circle) and current B-movie prince Scott Eastwood. That alone tells you Universal is not expecting much.

A gross that's half the original (a bomb, despite what China and Mexico would tell you, in its own right) would be worth opening a cork or two.

Magic Camp and Baby Driver

[BanksIsDaFuture]

I was considering going with Pacific Rim with my last pcik, but I opted for the star power. The Rock brings in more people than John Boyega easily. Still a great pick this late.

I don't know Magic Camp fell so far, but I was hoping everyone kept passing so I could grab it late.

[Shrykespeare]

Jaume Collet-Serra has had good results when teaming up with Liam Neeson, and I'm going to take The Commuter and hope it does Non-Stop numbers instead of Run All Night. Heck, I'd settle for Unknown numbers.
