Say there's another breakout with a month left in the season and a player loses half their lineup. They should not be forced to be relegated to Division B because they didn't see such a situation happening. I don't think we should promote or relegate until we know everything is safe.

If that situation were to occur, the entire game would get derailed anyways, so I don't think pausing promotions and demotions is at all necessary.
Moving on, I'm fine with restarting the normal game for 2-3 months before getting back into the Full Year Draft or running both simultaneously from the jump. At this point, I just want to restart the game next month in some capacity.
And Shryke, I'll happily return to the pricing committee.

Re: 2019-20 Full Year Slates (Division A)
Thanks Six and Tranny.
And Boosh, Tranny has it right - if there's another breakout the season will be called on account of rain. For this test run before things get back into full swing, there will be no Division A or B. It'll be comprised of whoever wants to play. Nothing's at stake. I don't even think I'm going to ask that there be a weekly column for now.
Other news: Nico may be back for this.

I’d be in for a test run of whatever, just itching to get back in the swing of things!

What does everybody expect for In The Heights?

I'm thinking $30-35 mil, but wouldn't be surprised if it went higher. A vibrant musical seem like the kind of thing that could really pop in the current climate.

It will do well with theatre kids and on the coasts but I wouldn't expect much success otherwise. Its biggest success will be on HBO Max.
I'm guessing $20 million three-day.

Re: 2019-20 Full Year Slates (Division A)
That's pretty much what I expect. I don't see anything doing that well until F9 comes out.
Should I move these predictions to a separate thread until the game restarts?

I think this thread is doing just fine in serving as a place to make predictions during this ramp up period.

I really thought In The Heights was going to pop. My crowd was super excited about it. But it seems to be underperforming. Not sure if that's because everyone is watching on HBOMax or what cause the reviews are ecstatic.
Re: 2019-20 Full Year Slates (Division A)
As I said, it's not a film that's going to play in traditional middle America. The more conservative crowd isn't going to care about the plight of the community in Washington Heights. They're going to be more into the loud action of F9 or the violent right-wing fantasies of The Forever Purge.

I thought a big, upbeat musical would be the perfect overindexing candidate for this moment, but clearly that wasn't the case at all. It should be able to post a solid multiplier though.

Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard opened with an estimated 3.93 million, which is decent but I imagine the previews have a lot to do with this opening.
In The Heights reminds me, in some ways, of Get On Up. Hugely hyped as a counterprogramming blockbuster with great reviews, but a underperformer. It could also perform like Rocketman in terms of legs.

Re: 2019-20 Full Year Slates (Division A)
Get on Up wasn't really a musical though.
Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard (terrible title, by the way) will likely drop fast once it's realized that we didn't need a sequel to The Hitman's Bodyguard.

Re: 2019-20 Full Year Slates (Division A)
Hmm curious phrase - and one I've said myself. I wonder how many movies I can think of that really "needed" a sequel. Lots of movies earned a sequel. Needing a sequel feels more compelling to me. Like the story was both so good - and yet also incomplete in that you needed to know more. They built a world that you knew was just the beginning and you wouldn't be satisfied until they saw it through.
I can see this more with books - The Two Towers after The Fellowship of the Ring.
But for movies I think I'd go off the top of my head:
Star Wars needed Empire Strikes Back
Alien needed Aliens
Infinity War needed Endgame
Toy Story needed 2
Hmm - am I just arguing semantics? Any come to mind for youi?
