Haha, and there's one reason why a delay can be worth it.

No kidding, huh?

I'm going to take Underdogs and I'd be ecstatic with 20 million.

Damnit! The same thing happened one year with A Haunted House, or maybe the sequel.

Maybe we should have a new rule for next year: any movie that goes from unscheduled to having a release date in the middle of the draft has to clear waivers once the draft is over.

I'd be on board with that rule. It does completely change the value of a film when release dates are announced. BS3 would have gone several rounds earlier had it had a release date, so being able to snag it now without waivers is just kinda pure blind luck. Not exactly what we are striving for.

Pure blind luck is what we all need since we dont have star wars on our roster.

The Outskirts.

And, Avengers probably won't hit $500 million, but I'm still in it. No blind luck necessary.

Ok people that dont have star wars or avengers on their roster need pure blind luck to make up the 200 mil or more advantage you guys have on everyone.

Hey, if someone had proposed that for this year, we disallow Avengers and Star Wars because of the clear advantage they provide, because it would make for a more fun and challenging game, I'd have been 100% on board with that too.

No way. I'm willing to bet $10 with anyone that neither Empire or Geezer win this year.

Good job, everyone, we made it through another draft.

Now I have to figure out which of you will be taking my place in Division B next year...

I was this close to grab Barbershop 3, my gut told me they would place it in early 2016 on the schedule... and I preferred to go safer for the last few rounds. Dammit.

I'm like banks, I think this isn't written at all and anything can happen, including the guys having Avengers and Star Wars not finishing First and Second or Second and First. (well, one can hope at least) ;)
