The Official 2011-12 Full Year Draft Thread

Young Adult is a great choice, I completely forgot about it. Up in the Air made $83M and Juno $143M.

I got your pick in the records, Tranny.

Second up, as the unashamed one man fanclub for Tyler Perry (as certified last year by picking both of his movies!), even though I've watched none of his films, I'm going to go with Good Deeds. It seems he's always capable of pulling in a few $$'s so here's hoping for a few more, especially with a fairly recognisable cast this time including Thandie Newton, Eddie Cibrian, Rebecca Romjin and Jamie Kennedy.

I think Perry might be doing I, Alex Cross first.

Ah, never mind, even if it's released next April, he still brings in enough in its opening two weekends to make it a worthwhile 13th Round pick. His movies usually fall off pretty quickly.

Haywire was my next pick too. It looks like a movie bound to make money, but I was just a little cautious over it because Soderbergh also has Contagion set for release soon too, so I wasn't sure both would be released in the next year (especially considering it was originally drafted for an April 2011 release and yet we've heard nothing of it). Probably would have been my last round pick though, so good choice. Gods Of Carnage I was also interested in.

Last I heard Haywire was delayed because of reshoots, but it should be out before next summer.

[silversurfer19]

Right. It's my guess then it will be postponed a year then and put in the April 2012 slot. Maybe it'll be in a similar slot to Hanna, which seems to be a similar type of movie.

[Chienfantome]

Yeah, I know about the Haywire delay, but I'd be surprised if the film wasn't released in the coming 11 months. Besides, We're used to seeing Soderbergh releasing several films in a same year.

Come on Barca....I wanna pick!!!

[Buscemi]

He's got 90 minutes.

[silversurfer19]

He's probably still asleep, it's only about 8am in Aus now. This is why I say we should have been submitting our picks if we thought there was any chance we'd miss our go. Luckily it's sped along the last couple of days to ensure we make the deadline of this OW, but for a while there it was touch and go.

[undeadmonkey]

his long wait is fine by me to be honest. I actually don't know what i should pick for my next choice.

There is one film from a studio that i kinda want, because i think it would look good on my slate but their last two outings have been very disappointing, and their films never make much money stateside, even though they are huge everywhere else. There some limited releases, but there is no guarantee that they will go wide, hmmmm.....

[BarcaRulz]

Calm down fellas.. Sleep + Work. Will pick within 20 minutes.

[silversurfer19]

I think it's UDM's turn now, so you better be quick if you want to ensure you get your movie...

[BarcaRulz]

I am going to pick A Thousand Words.

[undeadmonkey]

I'm going to pick Martha Marcy May Marlene. It gives me a Winter's Bone vibe, which was very well received, but made next to nothing. BUT I think it has a better release date in October, which could help it ride the oscar buzz (if it gets any) to a better gross than the other film i mentioned which was released in June. Plus John Hawkes is better known now due to his oscar nomination and the Olsen factor might bring in curios folks as well.
