2018-19 Full Year Slates (Division B)

[silversurfer19]

It should be an interesting final couple of months for my slate. I always knew it would play out this way following the movies I drafted, and may have been even more interesting had Dark Phoenix kept its date, but never the less, with Captain Marvel off to a good start and with Shazam! and Us still to follow, I reckon there is certainly potential for a $1 billion slate and possibly more. Not sure if I have any chance of promotion, but having anchored the league for so long, I look forward to me vaulting up a few places.

[NicodemustheSage]

Yeah, I think you may very well end up in the Top Three, Herald. "Us" and "Shazam!" could easily combine for $300M.

It's gonna be an interesting last seven weeks or so!

--Nico.

Avengers: Endgame (Nicodemus, 4th round)

[NicodemustheSage]

Yep, we're in the end game, now.

--Nico.

[Buscemi2]

Why do I have a feeling Thanos will be defeated by a simple punch to the chin?

[BanksIsDaFuture]

So Nico is pretty much a lock for the win, right?

The real question is how high will Surfer go with the super trifecta of Capt, US, and Shazam? Can he pass UDM and me/Shryke for the Top 3 finish? Can I withstand Shryke and his Pet Sematary? How can I make The Best of Enemies open to $100M?

[undeadmonkey]

ugh, Nico picks last and wins the thing, damn you aquaman and your over-performing ass

i think i'm safe to be promoted, but i am really curious to see how high surfer will go. just fyi, i've heard US and Shazam and Dumbo suck, no one should go see them

[Shrykespeare]

Yeah, he's pretty much a lock. Unless Little way overperforms and Av:E way underperforms, which seems unlikely.

And I don't see Marvel, Us, and Shazam combining for quite enough for Surfer to content for #1. Top 3 is a definite probability, though.

[numbersix]

I'd say Surf has another 175-200m left out of Captain Marvel (at the least) and $400-450 from Us, Dumbo, and Shazam. That'll bring him close to $1.2b by the end of the league.

[NicodemustheSage]

Well, here's a statement that has never before existed in the history of humankind -- not, even, in "Entourage": "[D]amn you aquaman and your over-performing ass".

I never had any confidence in "Dumbo". I think Tim Burton's finally showing his ass.

I predict the Top Five will be, in reverse order:

#5. Banksy
#4. Shrykester
#3. Herald
#2. UDM

(Though, Banks and Shrykey-pooh COULD switch places. I think "The Best of Enemies" could go big.)

...And, yeah. Blame Khal Drowndo.

--Nico.

[NicodemustheSage]

Btw: "Aguaman" has now outearned "Guardians of the Galaxy".

--Nico.

4/26:
Avengers: Endgame (Nicodemus, 4th round)

[NicodemustheSage]

I have to admit, not to be obnoxious, but I'm a bit proud of the divination I did with "The Mule". It more than makes up for my one-two June 2018 disappointments of "Tag" and "Superfly", perhaps my two most notorious "misses" this Season.

--Nico.

[Shrykespeare]

To pick up a friggin' BLOCKBUSTER in the 11th round (and Six got it in Round FIFTEEN) is a feat. A superfeat. So be obnoxious. It's like you're one of those guys on Storage Wars and you find an original Degas in a unit you purchased for $200.

[NicodemustheSage]

I say selecting an unscheduled film that turns out to be a blockbuster in the Fifteenth Round is even more impressive. That's like rivering into an inside straight in Texas Hold 'Em. VERY well played, Six.

--Nico.
