Re: 2018-19 Full Year Slates (Division B)
Ron Burgundy, to your earlier comment: It's the taking of risks that put me in contention this Season.
There wasn't a whole lot of faith in "Grindlewald" -- and, as its performance proves, for good reason -- and no one, including myself, could have guessed that "Aquaman" would have beat out "GotG"'s box office. "Halloween" (which ended up with basically the same B.O. as "Fantastic Beasts" 2) was widely considered a tired old irrelevant dog, perhaps even moreso than "Predators". And most folks thought my certainty that "4vengers" would be pushed up a week was insane, ludicrous for a Fourth-Round pick. (JAS took an even greater flier on that one, following my pickup but in his League's Round Three.)
I thought "Tag" had $80M potential -- and was wrong. But I picked the troubled "Bohemian Rhapsody", which overindexed like crazy. And then I had "The Mule", which was on no official release list ANYWHERE. Most of my remaining picks were poor or unremarkable.
Point is: I swung for the fences. Gonna be tough for me to keep that cowboy streak going this next Season, as my crystal ball is far more clouded, so far. But I remain convinced that when picking late, you MUST risk it if you want the biscuit. Go big, or go pay for Netflix.
--Nico.

Re: 2018-19 Full Year Slates (Division B)
I agree re: Top Five. I think UDM has at least $80M in the hopper yet, between "Little" and "Penguins" -- maybe as much as $125M.

I remain, as always.
Re: 2018-19 Full Year Slates (Division B)
Wow. $80 is a stretch. Two weekends of Penguins is $15 M max. $30 M for Little, maybe $35. Half that $125 is optimistic.
Tenet: Criterion Edition. Now with more Backwards Man.
Re: 2018-19 Full Year Slates (Division B)
I'm thinking $50 million is the ceiling for Little. Will Packer productions tend to average above that mark.

One thing's for certain: I picked the right year to join the game. Both Divisions are headed for a photo finish. Awesome.

Wow, five billionnaires. And Div A has six. Unreal. And I bet 2019-20 will have even more.

Re: 2018-19 Full Year Slates (Division B)
Yall got way too much confidence in my last picks. Nico has this in the bag, Endgame has a $250M weekend at the minimum, which means i need $75M to stay ahead. I could easily see Endgame making up to $275M. My Little, Penguins wont be able to keep up.
Re: 2018-19 Full Year Slates (Division B)
Let's skip the portion of the topic review toward the end of the draft where we state who had the worst pick in each round. I'll save you all the work:
1st through 16th - Brockster.
You're welcome.
1st through 16th - Brockster.

I took First Man in the 4th round, so you're not going to get the clean sweep

Um exsqueeze me?
I'm the only person in the league that had a movie on their slate not hit $1M.
And I had TWO OF THEM
