I'll leave the movie I eyed in round 1 for master and choose a slightly riskier pick.

Wrath of the Titans

Clash of the Titans grossed 160m while not being very good. Wrath looks like it could actually be a better action movie so hopefully it makes more than that.

I had some hope this would drop to me in 3rd round.

Did you PM Master? He's up since Nich's and my picks are locked in.

Re: 2012 Movie Box Office Draft - Game Thread

Expendables 2 is the worst pick so far imo, 1 made 100m and I don't see 2 making a lot more than that.

Apatow is risky with upside, the movies he directed made 110m, 150m and 50m. Luckily wiki tells me it's a spinoff from Knocked Up that made the 150m.

Django Unchained is a movie I can't make up my mind about. Inglorious Basterds was great and the highest grossing Tarantino movie but still only grossed 120m. Even with the bigger draw of DiCaprio I'm not sure if the movie can make a lot more than that. It has a very realistic chance to get the late release bonus though.

Re: 2012 Movie Box Office Draft - Game Thread

Alright my second round pick I am taking Snow White and the Huntsman. This is a relative gambol movie, but it is the first movie schedule for release in the summer months. It is going to be a killer action flick with two huge names in the leads. Alice in wonderland scored Huge last year, and yeah that had Depp in it, but this is going to get some carryover from that.

There is one major downside, but Ill get to that later. For now, mark it down at a 250 Mil prediction.

Re: 2012 Movie Box Office Draft - Game Thread

First release in the summer months is a bit misleading imo. Yes it's released June 1st, but it has MiB 3 opening the week before and Battleship the week before that.

Re: 2012 Movie Box Office Draft - Game Thread

Considering that all the films that made >200M last year were sequels, I'd be shocked if Huntsman made that much

Re: 2012 Movie Box Office Draft - Game Thread

I'm predicting a sequel backlash this year.

Huntsman is going to have a lot of advertising behind it, and its going to play up the Alice connection (Worldwide gross 2010: 1 freaking billion dollars.)

Its gonna land as a PG-13, so it wont have the R handicap to deal with. And it will appeal to both men and women. Its a genre crosser and I feel it is going to make a big impact.

Or it will make 150 mil and Ill be ok with that, but I need a movie that has the potential to pull in big bucks if we ever hope to compete.
