2022-23 YEARLONG BOX OFFICE DRAFT LEAGUE

[Shrykespeare]

Good pick, Wall. Thought about that one myself.

I'll pick one opening the same day.... Creed III and hope it does as well as its predecessor.


Over to Six. It's late in Ireland, so we may not see him until morning.

[numbersix]

You just caught me before bedtime.

Right, two summer movies, and ones that are risks.

But I'm going for Elvis in the hope it can recreate Bohemian Rhapsody's success

And Bullet Train with Bullock and Pitt, and hope it can hold well as it rolls through August.

[Shrykespeare]

The last major A-list ensemble cast that got together to do a crime thriller, Death on the Nile, didn't do so well.

But I honestly can't let this one slide, considering it stars Batman, Harley Quinn, Gamora, Shrek, Travis Bickle, Generald Zod, Freddie Mercury, Will Smith's punching bag, AND Taylor Swift.

Obvi, I'm picking... WHAM BAM! Oh, Amsterdam. (Yeah, yeah, yeah.)

Equally great cast - just all doing voice work. DC League of Super Pets for me. Keanu Reeves as Batman? It'll destroy!

[Screen203]

Amsterdam and Super Pets are both interesting picks. American Hustle made a lot of money, but that was nearly ten years ago. Super Pets has a good voice cast, but it feels like a relatively modest performer (although the lack of family films until October will help it).

Damn, we're flying through picks right now! I'll take the Untitled Illumination Mario Movie and hope it can do Sonic-esque business on the same weekend that Sonic 2 cleaned up on this year.

[Walleye413]

Smart pick - if this one doesn't move I think it makes bank.

[Buscemi2]

It amazes me that David O. Russell gets to keep making big studio movies, considering all of the actors that refuse to work with him. But I guess verbal and emotional abuse is still acceptable in Hollywood.

Meanwhile, I'm only thinking Teen Titans Go results with League of Super-Pets. We already got two Secret Life of Pets movies. Do we need the same thing with C-list DC characters?

And I see Super Mario Bros. getting delayed. This feels like a summer movie.

[Buscemi2]

Everyone so far:

Six


Shryke


Walleye


Tran and myself


Screen


Ron


Chien


Spectre

[Shrykespeare]

Maybe I'm dense today, but I'm not sure I understand why I'm Mr. T...

[Buscemi2]

I couldn't find something that combined Dr. Strange with Creed, so I decided an animated Mr. T was good enough.

[Shrykespeare]

Well, Creed was the son of the guy who fought the guy who fought Clubber Lang, played by Mr. T.

[Spectre]

That makes me even less sure of my picks thus far

[Screen203]

I will take The Black Phone.
