Re: 2015-16 Full Year Draft Thread (Division B)
Not really inspired by many of the movies left, don't think there's that much potential left in them. So for that reason I will start looking at TBAs as well. For this round I will take a chance on Eye In The Sky, and hope it can cash in on at least some of the American Sniper crowd. Starring Helen Mirren, Aaron Paul, Alan Rickman and Barkhad Abdi, and directed by Gavin Hood, it seems like an interesting subject that could get some traction with a decent distributor and date.

Too many new picks to comment on individually.
Here are the ones I wanted:
Dope - think this could be a surprise hit. Feels like great counterprogramming and WOM could make it hold for weeks and weeks
Shaun the Sheep - Could be a solid little earner across August and Sept.
Our Brand is Crisis - this was top of my TBA list. The subject matter doesn't scream commercial, but Bullock's presence will help a lot
Sinister 2 - won't do as well as the first, but could get close.
Ones I'm glad someone else took:
Families (Zwark Blumhouse film) - feels very early, and Blumhouse make alot of movies that never get theatrical releases, so would be wary of this
Triple 9: Hillcoat isn't that commercial, yet becuase I want to see it I might have picked it and ultimately hurt my game. So thanks Ron
War Room - faith based movies were my downfall last year. This director's film tend to do well, but I'm so unsure about the whole sub-genre.

While I would normally tend to agree with you, it does already have a release slot in early January and Blumhouse movies tend to have a quick turn around, so I'm hopeful.numbersix wrote: Ones I'm glad someone else took:

Ah, so that's the untitled Blumhouse Horror on BOM? Hard to find info that confirms it. If it is, then you made a good pick!

Yeah, the subject alone doesn't make it sound too good for its BO prospects, but with Warner behind it, Clooney producing, Bullock in the lead, it could really surprise. It was THE film without release date I wanted, I'm glad I have it in A division.numbersix wrote:Our Brand is Crisis - this was top of my TBA list.

And that is a lot of TBAs, UDM. I have realised from previous experience that while finding a diamond in the rough can be lucrative, it can also hamper your slate. That is four so far with still three rounds remaining...

You know for all its hype, Boyhood only made 25 million. Still, I'll take Me, Earl, and the Dying girl, and hope it gets at least that.

I will select The Lady in the Van because who doesn't love Dame Maggie Smith (also, she's probably the early frontrunner for Best Actress). As for my other pick, I feel like an idiot for picking it but God's Not Dead 2.
