2016-17 Full Year Draft Thread (Division A)

[Buscemi]

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has been very well marketed, as I've been seeing trailers before not only with the big tentpole movies but family films and R-rated movies as well. And the Times Square show Nickelodeon's been doing is good cross-promotion. $150 million is very possible.

[Chienfantome]

TMNT won't do as much as the first, but it should do alright. Passengers is getting picked much too soon in both divisions. A space movie from no existing property opening against Star Wars is either ballsy or stupid, time Will tell. I wouldn't ne surprises if the release date changed.
Kong is a good pick for 2nd round.

[silversurfer19]

as for the TNMT pick, The first did well in August so an earlier summer slot bodes well for it, but I still think there other picks that will definitely make more

I'm cnot so sure there are, UDM. Yes, some of the remaining movies may make more, but nothing I would say definitely would. I wanted to play a little safer this round and think TMNT is the safest and should be good for at least $150m, which is a decent platfprm to build on.

[Spectre]

Kong is a great pick but I'm absolutely terrified that it gets bumped to May. If not, it's going to easily be worth it.

I've thought about my pick for a while and I'm going to go with Jason Bourne. Greengrass is back, Damon is back (and hot coming off The Martian success last year) and the marketing is 100% about Bourne which is what they need after the Renner disaster. Not a super huge fan of where it is on the calendar but I'm hoping that a PG-13 will allow it some legs in front of Suicide Squad's R. We'll see if Damon can drive a rebound. Feels a lot like my MI5 pick last year.

I'm just disappointed because you picked a movie that's going to come out in 45 days! How can you backload now!

[Chienfantome]

Solid pick, Spectre. I would have probably picked the same at your place.

[Spectre]

Solid pick, Spectre. I would have probably picked the same at your place.

Thanks, wish something else had fallen to me so I didn't have to decide but apparently you guys know what you're doing.

[Brockster]

Bourne was next on my list too. Surprised to see Kong taken already...that was #40 on my list!!! But what the hell do I know?

[Chienfantome]

#40 on your List ? Damn, now I'm curious what was ahead of it.

[Brockster]

It's hard to get a read on movies that far out!

[Aquamann2001]

Ghostbusters a gamble with all the bad buzz around the trailer but I think it has the highest upside of the movies remaining and a fairly high floor even with the bad buzz.

[JohnErle]

Ah, screw it. Overthinking it didn't help last year, so I'll go with Alice Through The Looking Glass and Ice Age 5

[Aquamann2001]

Tough choice, I'll take a risk and select Sing ahh already 2nd and 3rd guessing my choice.

[Brockster]

I think sing is a great pick at this point. Lot of upside especially its release date...would have been my next pick

[Aquamann2001]

Thanks that makes me feel a little better. Theres 2 specific movies I was back and forth on along with Sing. I doubt any of them make it back to me anyway. The only concern I had with Sing is that I don't really see a history of December animation releases doing well at the box office.
