Man, what a nailbiter between John and Tranny!

Can't believe my garbage slate is going to end up making $1B after all those misses...

Yeah, you kind of crapped out with Good Dinosaur and Terminator: Genisys, but you got great numbers from Jungle Book, Mission Impossible and Daddy's Home.

Here is some wrap-up show analysis.


ROUND ONE:

Best pick: Star Wars (#2, Geezer) - Duh. It was going to be huge, but DOUBLE Age of Ultron? Yikes.

Worst pick: The Good Dinosaur (#9, Spectre) - Well, Pixar's 20-year-long hot streak is over. Sorry, Spectre.

Surprise pick: Jurassic World (#6, Brockster) - I'm sure nobody thought this would make more than Batman vs Superman and Hunger Games put together.



ROUND TWO:

Best pick: Zootopia (#16, Banks) - I'm still shocked by the longevity of this movie. And pleased.

Worst pick: Fantastic Four (#11, Chienfantome) - Who'da thunk a Marvel property could tank this bad?

Surprise pick: Hotel Transylvania 2 (#20, empire) - $169M for an animated sequel? Whew.



ROUND THREE:

Best pick: The Martian (#30, Chienfantome) - Sci-fi in October is the new trend, it would seem.

Worst pick: Pan (#21, empire) - Meh.

Surprise pick: Mad Max: Fury Road (#26, Brockster) - AND it was an Oscar darling!!



ROUND FOUR:

Best pick: Deadpool (#31, Chienfantome) - Damn you, Frenchie.

Worst pick: In the Heart of the Sea (#40, empire) - Not even Thor could save this one.

Surprise pick: The Jungle Book (#32, Spectre) - Sadly, the clock will run out before this one reaches it's full height, but wow.



ROUND FIVE:

Best pick: Straight Outta Compton (#50, Fucking Chien) - Gaaah.

Worst pick: The Walk (#43, aquamann) - $10M? That's it??



ROUND SIX:

Best pick: Creed (#53, SuperShaan)

Worst pick: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (#55, Brockster)




More later.

I would mind your language sir if this didn't mean I did good at the game

I'm in a position where I'm not sure if I should rethink my draft strategy this year or not. Although 13 out of my 16 picks underperformed and none of my movies really overperformed, I did survive the cut. The WALK Aghhh don't remind me. I thought Zemekis movies were safe picks.

I think it's safe to say you crushed it this year. Aside from F4 and Aloha, your biggest weakness was not being able to pick Star Wars.

I can't complain about how it all turned out for me. I even did a bit better than last year when I finished first. I had made just under 1.3 billion, this year I'm a bit above that. I hope I'll keep on improving this coming year

I got a list of about 190 films waiting to be drafted, I'm READY !!!

How do you have 190 movies? Boxofficemojo doesnt even list that many including limited release movies that make nothing. How many of those 190 could make over 35 mil?

That French fellow does he research. Plenty of films yet to get release dates.

I have about 140

where do you guys see movies with no release date?
