[BanksIsDaFuture]

Since Shryke had the first pick, shouldn't he have the last spot on the waiver wire and so on and so forth for everyone?

[Buscemi]

You're right. Let me fix that.

[Shrykespeare]

What does that mean, exactly? I can't make a change to my slate unless everyone ahead of me says I can?

[Buscemi]

If you make a claim, other people have 48 hours to match it. If no one higher matches it, you win your claim.

[Shrykespeare]

Ah, okay. Thanks for explaining.

[W]

If you use it, you go back to the end of the line. Anything posted here (or in the "release date change" thread) gets two days to be jumped on and if it isn't then it means it's 100% free to be taken by anyone regardless of waiver position.

[Chienfantome]

[Buscemi]

Shademaker's scheduled to open in October 2013 (Disney lists it as Untitled Henry Selick Project). I'll get to the rest later (though I never see The Knights of Badassdom or Much Ado About Nothing ever going to theatres, the appeal is too niche for either one and most of their casts consist of failed television actors).

[JohnErle]

So if a film's been lying around for a while the waiver wire order doesn't matter? Anyone can grab them at any time?

[numbersix]

John, I think you have to "request" a film, wait 2 days in case someone ahead of you on the order wants it, and if no one does it's yours (and then you're put at the bottom of the order). Correct me if I'm wrong.

And Boosch, last I read about Shadwmaker was that it would be complete by the start of next year, but I trust your judgemenr on this so feel free to remove.

Knights of Badassdom could indeed miss a cinema release. As for Much Ado, it could get a release as a sort of present for Whedon taking The Avengers to a billion.

[Geezer]

No, Six that only works for these first two days. After that, yes, you can just grab whatever you want.

[Buscemi]

Much Ado About Nothing feels more like a Dr. Horrible than an Avengers. I can see Whedon premiering it in installments online (comic book fans don't show up for black and white films about Shakespeare).
