Re: 2023-24 Full Year Slates - The Shryke Draft
Standings (up until March 24)
Shrykemi and Banks saw their last films opening, and they are the ones moving the fastest right now. Six is getting 10 million closer to me. And just when you thought Tranny couldn’t get higher, he has Godzilla x Kong opening next week. You’re good for 1.5 billion, buddy.
1. Trannyspeare - $1,405,306,185 (3 films - Love lies Bleeding, Bob Marley, Migration)
2. Spectrespeare - $949,074,805 (3 films - Imaginary, Demon Slayer, Wonka)
3. Screenspeare - $884,095,311 (1 film - Ordinary Angels)
4. Walleyespeare - $796,105,786 (1 film - Anyone But You)
5. Shrykespearemi - $736,283,902 (2 films - Ghostbusters, The Boy and the Heron)
6. Bankspeare - $719,233,992 (3 films - Immaculate, Kung Fu Panda, Dune II)
7. Ronspeare - $581,832,945 (1 film, Madame Web)
8. Chienspeare - $455,010,921 (no film in theaters)
9. Sixspeare - $434,381,536 (4 films - Arthur the King, Cabrini, The Beekeeper, Poor Things)
The following films appear to be done :
Oppenheimer (‘bout time !) (Walleye, 2nd round) = $329,862,540
Argylle (Tranny, 11th round) = $45,207,275
The Chosen, season 4 (Walleye, WW) = $29,130,591
3/29
Godzilla x Kong (Tranny, 4th round)
4/5
Monkey Man (Chien, WW)
The First Omen (Six, WW)
4/12
Civil War (Screen, 11th round)
4/19
Abigail (Walleye, WW)

Pretty cool having the 2-3-4 spots on the weekend charts last weekend and then 3-4-5 this weekend.
I'd honestly penciled Dune 2 in for about $400M domestic, but $275M or so is nothing to sneeze at.
A little let down by Immaculate, I saw ads everywhere for it and thought it'd be a breakout horror hit.
I'm looking at 5th place this season, which isn't bad for a few years off![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif)

I saw almost nothing for Immaculate, which is bizarre as the theatre I usually go to promotes everything from Neon and the manager will push anything featuring a Euphoria actor (Anyone but You was still playing when Immaculate opened for some reason). I also saw almost nothing for Godzilla x Kong.
On the other hand, I saw a lot of things for Love Lies Bleeding and that one will more than likely not even clear $10 million worldwide. A similar case with Problemista.

Re: 2023-24 Full Year Slates - The Shryke Draft
Standings (up until March 31)
Tranny’s killing the competition, with more than half a billion advance on Spectre’s 2nd place. I’ll check when’s the last time there was such a gap between 1st and 2nd place, if there ever was. Shryke and Banks are the ones moving the fastest behind him, and are closing in on Walleye, but he’s still got Abigail coming up. Down the bottom, Six is now less than $15M behind me, but I’ll finally get back in biz next weekend.
On another note, the upcoming calendar welcomes the last weekend of the season, 4/26, which means, gentlemen, that we’re entering the last month of the competition.
1. Trannyspeare - $1,488,066,161 (4 films - Godzilla x Kong, Love lies Bleeding, Bob Marley, Migration)
2. Spectrespeare - $951,812,796 (3 films - Imaginary, Demon Slayer, Wonka)
3. Screenspeare - $884,382,463 (1 film - Ordinary Angels)
4. Walleyespeare - $796,811,034 (2 film - The Chosen, Anyone But You)
5. Shrykespearemi - $764,702,649 (1 film - Ghostbusters)
6. Bankspeare - $753,149,019 (3 films - Immaculate, Kung Fu Panda, Dune II)
7. Ronspeare - $581,879,764 (1 film, Madame Web)
8. Chienspeare - $455,010,921 (no film in theaters)
9. Sixspeare - $440,995,146 (2 films - Arthur the King, Cabrini)
The following films appear to be done :
The Beekeeper (Six, WW) = $66,220,535 (who would have thought ?)
The Boy and the Heron (Shrykemi, WW) = $46,610,770
Poor Things (Six, 9th round) = $34,553,225

Monkey Man (Chien, WW)

I'm on board and I'd be surprised if we weren't able to find enough people to participate.

Re: 2023-24 Full Year Slates - The Shryke Draft
I'm probably bowing out. It feels like the industry is solely influenced by filmbros and people on the Internet and you can't really tell any movie from the other now. You'd think Barbie would have changed things but instead of listening to the millions that embraced the themes of Barbie and helped Warner Bros. temporarily save themselves, Hollywood listened to Ben Shapiro instead and are just doing the same things they've been doing since COVID (Another dystopian movie? More two-hour episodes of Euphoria and Succession? Adam Driver is the lead in a big budget movie again?).
In short, I don't really know what's going to be a hit and what won't.

Re: 2023-24 Full Year Slates - The Shryke Draft
I'm definitely much less informed in Hollywood movies and what's going on than I was before, but I'll always be up for this game nonetheless.

That's a shame. You did well considering you had to take over from dear Shryke mid-way through the draft. Perhaps you know more than you think you know.Buscemi2 wrote: ↑April 2nd, 2024, 1:38 pmI'm probably bowing out.

Re: 2023-24 Full Year Slates - The Shryke Draft
I don't. I just don't get audiences anymore. We know a lot of modern product is crap and we don't get why critics tell us everything is good but we keep accepting it. Despite what we are told, we don't want change. We are too scared to be the solution of problems and are more interested in complaining because it allows to do something without actually doing anything of importance. You go onto YouTube and all you see is Andrew Tate and Steven Crowder wannabes. You block those videos but they still show up because that's what's popular. Nothing but rage bait and backwards thinking. And who pays attention to this? The people controlling the studios. As a result, we end up getting movies and television that appeal primarily to a vocal minority because no one wants to fight back and make something that actually says something. We value clout and validation over trying to improve things.
Getting away from how we get dystopian movies because people actually want a dystopia where the Bible is the Constitution and there's a cop on every street corner that kills people for disagreeing with them, I don't even know what the big movie will be this summer. I see sequels, adaptations, retreads, a few Channing Tatum movies, and that's it. Nothing has changed. There's been a lack of variety in recent years but it might be the worst it's ever been. And we keep encouraging it because we don't even care.
Maybe we should let the American film industry die off and entertain ourselves in our own way. Things wouldn't be any worse.

Regardless of how you feel about the state of industry, you're a plenty good player. You're a fixture on the podium in both BO and ULT leagues and that's not by accident.

I don't have the time to be in the weeds on movies like I used to be but I'll always find time for this game. You can count on me to be in as long as you can tolerate it. ![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif)

Same for me - I will be a part of the game for as long as it lasts.
It's not destroying. It's making something new.

I'm game for another draft. I'm not in the loop like I used to be on movies - but this draft was always one of the highlights of my "online" year so I'm up to keep going.

Banks will almost certainly be back as well, so we should be in good shape for next season regardless of whether or not Boosh plays.
