The Aeronauts will not have its box office reported and Farmageddon is going to Netflix. These two will need to be replaced.

Yeah, the combination of Toy Story and Joker is a strong one. Boosch doesn't have that much left in the tank though, in terms of breakout potential. I still think this season is Aquaman's, thanks to solid mid-round picks like Hustlers or Addams Family, combined with Star Wars coming up.

I'm glad Frozen II arrived to take me up the ladder. Shouldn't be long before I enter the Top 5, and I have no intention of leaving it once I'm there. Losing The King's man is a blow, but the strong reviews on 1917 tells me I have a winner there.

Yeah, Aqua's finally tally should be around 1.3b. Damn him.

Well done Boosch on breaking 1b. Picking Joker was a great move! You, Aqua, Spectre, and Chien are all pretty much safe

I'm pretty much done for this year, so 2020 is make or break for me. If Bond moves (I'm hoping it won't as Bond films usually are quick in post), or if Birds of Prey fails to take off, then I'm in trouble.

Those who currently look to be in trouble this year are Nico (thanks for nothing, Arnie), Surf (thanks to MIB and the Kong shuffle), Walleye (the tracking on Jumanji suggests a much weaker performance than we all imagined), and possibly Jas (depending on how Mulan performs). I'm not far off the bottom though.

As long as Bond doesn't move you'll be just fine, Six.
Nico is already rosted that's for sure, but honestly I would have bet on it on Day 1 with the choices made, sorry buddy.

Yeah I lost too many movies, and made bad choices on my other ones. I thought Jumanji was the right pick at the time - and actually still stand by that, it was the obvious next choice I thought. I was debating between Aladdin, SLOP 2 and Joker for my second round. Aladdin went right before me so I felt really good about Pets 2. That one was brutal - a 200 million dollar difference. Turns our Abominable and A Beautiful Day are also both going to underperform. I went with feel good movies this year that I personally hoped would do well - at least with all my top picks, and they've all been lame! I guess my movie tastes are not mainstream American. I'm kind of okay with that But when I'm hoping Richard Jewell and The Photograph keep me in league A you know it's been a bad year. Sigh - already looking ahead to next year!

It's still months away, but I should point out that JAS has been MIA since the draft. He pulled out of the Super Leagues and has not returned any of my emails in the last few months. Which is not to say he won't come back before next year's draft, but if he doesn't, he's dropped from the league no matter what place he comes in. Thus, only two players will be demoted to B, but three will still be promoted to A. (And at least then we'll back to 20 players again.)

Like I said, still early.

Remember Walleye, so many films you pikced I was jealous cause you picked them ahead of me. Now I'm not jealous anymore

Ha - oh my gosh that's right! Dude you owe me!

You do, Chien, so give him 1917 and you're even

It's highly probable that if "The Woman in the window" had been available in the 6th round when I drafted 1917, I would have picked it. So really, thank you Walleye, you took one for me there. Now I have a potential $100M earner instead of a postsponed film.
I'll still keep 1917 though
