The Official 2013-2014 Full Year Draft Thread (Division B)

[numbersix]

Hmmmm.... I've three or four films to choose from.... including 2 wide releases, 1 limited releases, and 1 still in production....

[numbersix]

Screw it, might as well take the risk with Townies...

A Universal comedy with Seth Rogen, Zac Efron, Rose Byrne, and McLovin, directed by the guy who did Forgetting Sarah Marshall and The Five Year Engagement. Should get a wide releases and even if it bombs it should make it into the teens.

[JohnErle]

For his final pick, surfer chooses Snowpiercer.

Are you using the same list he sent you last year?

[Shrykespeare]

Nope. Got his instruction yesterday.

[Buscemi]

I'm thinking Universal will slot Townies for the summer, especially with the level of the cast.

[englishozzy]

Haven't had time to look at it properly but Tarzan 3D

[Buscemi]

Aquamann selects Grandmasters.

And JohnErle selects Ghosts.

The Division B draft is complete. You may go to the refreshment table now.

[Buscemi]

By the way, I'll be leaving shortly to go see Mud. If anyone wants to help, I'll send you some titles that I complied for the Division B waiver list

[numbersix]

Congrats, guys. 16 rounds in 6 days is quite an achievement. Still lots of films free to pick, but I'll wait for Division A to finish before compiling what's left off my list for a waiver list.

Impressive recent picks are Ghosts (could do surprisingly well, especially for a last round pick), The Last Witch Hunter (which I totally forgot about), Malavita, and Serena.

[Shrykespeare]

Yay. Three drafts down one to go. And that one still has over 50 picks still unchosen.

[Buscemi]

I just mailed you a list for the Division B waivers, Six (featuring another Kevin Hart film, for starters). You can add to it while I'm gone.

Great. I'll add to it and send it onto SS for further additions, and then we can post it once Division A finishes.

Hah! Yeah, I will keep picking Snowpiercer every year until it's released. Honestly, it will be released this year, it's already scheduled for a few countries, has a behind the scenes short, and the marketing has started with posters. Hopefully this will be a decent sized hit.

As for Townies, I'm with Boussh, no way this gets released before May. Almost certainly a summer movie, especially off the back of This Is The End's probable success this year. Tarzan could go either way, it has a set of release dates, so should find it's way to the US soon enough, and it is Tarzan. But other than that I don't know who's going to pick it up, and it's hardly got a stand out cast. Could surprise though. Ghosts, Grandmasters and Machete Kills will do small numbers, no matter what I hope for Grandmasters. Just can't see any of them breaking out.

Fantastic drafting anyway, good to see so many of us on the ball for once, very enjoyable draft. Looking forward to the next year now, should be lots of fun.

I do not select grandmasters. My list changed. I select battle of the year 3d

In case anyone's wondering, I have no problem with this and it doesn't affect what I would have picked. Buscemi never should have jumped the gun and used an old list. I was kind of annoyed when he did it to me too because I was still considering another film, but ultimately I would have went with Ghosts anyway.
