2023-24 YEARLONG BOX-OFFICE DRAFT LEAGUE

[Chienfantome]

*The saying goes "Never two without three".

[Screen203]

For my last pick, I will take The Iron Claw.

[Walleye413]

Damnit Screen, that was the only movie I had left
Alright, give me a minute to come up with something.

[Walleye413]

Um, how about Mother's Instinct with Anne Hathaway

[Spectre]

I'm not liking all these TBAs given what happened last year but I'd rather throw a dart than take anything left...

I'll close my draft with Dear Santa. It started production in March but is no longer listed on Georgia's active production site so it may be done filming. And you would think it would be December counter-programming... let's see if it lands in Dec 2023 instead of Dec 2024.

[Chienfantome]

Nice move Spectre. I'm a bit wary, giving the timing, that Dear Santa might go to 2024, but if it goes in 2023, this is gonna be a great 12th round pick.

[Buscemi2]

For the last round, I'm going to take a real shot in the dark. It's currently scheduled to be an Amazon exclusive but given the success of Air, I would be surprised if it didn't get a wide theatrical release.

Red One

Dwayne Johnson, Chris Evans, Santa Claus, a script by Chris Morgan, and the first of a planned franchise. With MGM not having any scheduled titles for the holiday season, this could sneak in.

[Chienfantome]

A shot in the dark indeed but if Amazon decides to put it in theaters, that's a bingo.

[Ron Burgundy]

Drive Away Dolls

[Buscemi2]

Already went in the ninth.

[Chienfantome]

Indeed Ron, I already drafted Drive Away Dolls, you need to pick another film.

[Buscemi2]

A little thing I noticed: the first TBD title was picked at #75. 20 of the next 32 picks are TBD titles.

We like to live dangerously.

[Chienfantome]

I think it also owes to the fact it seems this year there are, for now, except in March, very few films dated for 2024, which gives some interesting space for films not yet dated. Or maybe we're just a bunch of gamblers.
I sent en email to Ron to tell him he needs to pick again.

[Buscemi2]

It's close to midnight in Perth. He might have gone to bed already.

[Chienfantome]

Ron does not live according to the expected hours of the day. We could be in for a surprise. Or not.
