I could go for a Wonderfalls revival right about now.

Quick question: if W keeps Unlocked (a Lionsgate Premiere release) and it reports on a site other than Box Office Mojo (which Lionsgate Premiere titles have in the past), do we use that independent report or what?

I don't see why not.

That's what I was thinking. A few years back when someone had Goon (Shryke, was that you?), we did have a debate over counting the Canadian gross (eventually, we did as Box Office Mojo included the Canadian take with the US take) so I was just checking on that account.

Nope, wasn't me. At least, I don't think so. I can't brain like I used to.

There's no point in being a studio head if you can't greenlight the occasional pet project that probably won't set the box office on fire, so I'll take A Ghost Story as a low risk, potential indie breakout.

Everyone in Division Alpha: help us in Division Beta finish our draft by contacting players who haven't picked their final picks once this one wraps up. It shouldn't be too long here.

Alright, I took my time for the last pick, because nothing convinced me 100%, but there were several interesting options to try.
I hesitated between 3, and in the end I'll draft a 4th one.

I'll pick Kin. Lionsgate paid a shitload of money after battling several other studios to buy it at Toronto last year, filming took place last fall, the cast is solid, it has potential.

It's a movie with James Franco from a sibling team. Sounds like a potential Lionsgate Premiere title to me.

Anyone get the final pick?

I just don't see it, that's all. But I guess one could say that about a lot of things.

This hazing over me taking Wonder's gotten me real burned out. At least we're almost done.
