Re: 2016-17 Full Year Draft Thread (Division B)

Post by Shrykespeare »

I have spent months of hand-wringing and gnashing of teeth, going back and forth between no fewer than four different possible choices, I have finally made up my mind.

In the end, I had narrowed it down to Captain America: Civil War and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

Box Office has CA:CW earning $600M. That's tough to ignore. Can a stand-alone Star Wars story (don't want to say "prequel", because... you know) that ties in with A New Hope (40 years later) capture the same magic that Episode VII did last year? Even if it earns half of what Force Awakens does, that's still a respectable $470M.

Then there's release dates - Captain America should easily take its first three weekends before running up against another Marvel property in X-Men: Apocalypse.

By the time Rogue One comes out, Fantastic Beasts will have been out for a month and likely trailing off. Rogue One, on the other hand, due out the weekend prior to Xmas weekend, will not have any competition except from wide-release Oscar hopefuls (whatever they are) and could very well win every single weekend up till the release of Fifty Shades Darker.


Therefore - fingers crossed - I will start off the draft with

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

While those Captain America predictions are hard to ignore, I would not imagine, after last year, a single member of each division would pick another movie. It's potential and expectations are huge, and $600m would seem easily possible. Add that with the dampened success of Avengers 2 last year, and the fact that no Captain America movie previously has even broke $300m, expecting double that despite the help of Iron Man seems a leap. I may be proven wrong, but I don't even think the gap will be close between the two movies.

Well, no surprise it went this way so far. However, what comes next is a bit of a challenge. There are three films, in my view, that can make anwhere from 250m to 400m, depending on a few factors.

But I'm gonna play is somewhat safe and go for Finding Dory

It's Pixar. It's summer. It's the sequel to a hugely popular film, and all it has competing against it in June if an animation based on a dying phone game.

You're god damn right. I've flipped my pick 15 times in the last 10 minutes. I'm going to go with a bit of surprise pick and takeThe Secret Life of Pets Illumination can do no wrong right now and I think it will be able to outgross Suicide Squad and Fantastic Beasts.
