[Buscemi]

Hey, can we name our slates?

[Shrykespeare]

Why not? Go for it, dude!

[undeadmonkey]

i'm feeling very confidant with my slate, gonna need some picks to break out to be a #1 slate, but i think it's very strong.

[Chienfantome]

I think overall it's pretty well balanced and it should make a great competition.
I think my favourite slate (besides my own of course) is Geezer's.

[Buscemi]

Geezer has too many question marks that could go either way (Elysium, Ender's Game, The Fifth Estate, RoboCop).

As for the best, I believe it's too close to call. We all have hits but we all have question marks as well (such as W picking two films that will definitely be released for the summer and a film that could go straight-to-DVD while Monkey picked a film that was greenlighted just last week).

[Chienfantome]

At this point of course everyone has tons of question marks. But the question marks with the most potential, I was saying, was in my opinion Geezer's. And mine, of course
But really, I think this is a very competitive year, and this should be a tight and exciting race.

Concerning my slate, I think I have too many 2014 films (or potential 2014 films) on it. I would have prefered to have a few more films with a 2013 release date. The further films are, the biggest chance there is they will get pushed back later.

[Buscemi]

In your opinion, what do you think are the biggest question marks?

My opinion:
empire: The Zero Theorem (Gilliam's films usually take awhile to reach the US)
Geezer: The Fifth Estate (the film could fail to gross $10 million with the esoteric premise and heavy competition)
W: Vacation (I can't see rewrites, shooting and post-production getting finished in 11 months)
myself: A Most Wanted Man (the film could have trouble finding a distributor and the parallels to the Boston Marathon bombing could hurt it)
Shryke: Prince Avalanche (Magnolia's films never go wide)
Leestu: The Last Witch Hunter (filming hasn't started yet)
Monkey: Inherent Vice (the film was only just greenlighted and is still in the casting process)
Banks: Ain't Them Bodies Saints (small distributor + awful title = trouble)
Chien: Draft Day (I can't see Lionsgate throwing this one in the Spring, due to the hot script, strong cast and name director)
Tranny: Only God Forgives (VOD to theatrical titles are rarely box office hits)

[W]

If my biggest question is the third to last pick in the entire draft, I'm ok with it.

[silversurfer19]

I'd actually say anything from Round 2 for you is very risky, W. Not to suggest that's a bad thing, I think you usually perform very well by taking such risks, but many of those movies could very well flop hard. I think World War Z was taken very early for a round 2 pick, can't see it making much more than $100m, The Lone Ranger, other than it's release slot, looks like a struggle for $100m, Planes looks just like a cash in on Cars, a series itself that suffered a major decline. 300 could do ok, but won't come within a whisker of the first movie, while The Muppets will struggle to get past $50m. The Mortal Instruments and 47 Ronin look dead in the water at the moment too.

So many of your movies could bomb, though I wouldn't be surprised given your history to see them go either way. Should be exciting for both leagues.

[W]

He'll, I'd say Man of Dteel is risky off this point in the draft.

[BanksIsDaFuture]

The Muppets had great WOM and I'm sure some people discovered it on home video and it made $75M, if I remember correctly.

Should do AT LEAST that again, but more likely it'll be closer to $90-$100M.

And W, if you don't think so, I'd happy to work out a trade with you

[Chienfantome]

Concerning Draft Day, Boosch, I think 42 has just proved that a well reviewed sports-related film with a "used to be in the A list" actor can do great during the spring, and I'm sure Lionsgate noticed that too

[Buscemi]

Except 42 didn't have a script that every studio wanted. Since Lionsgate knows what they got here, they'll slot it at a prime date instead of the dregs of April.

[Chienfantome]

We'll see, but I'm still pretty confident. And I think I picked it late enough to not be too much disappointed if the release date is later than april 2014.
