wesrwood is possibly? looking for a co-owner, and anyone new wanting to join can also offer to co-own with someone.

Past Winners:
2011 - Swiitch
2012 - Nichp
2013 - Diabolical
2014 - domer2
2015 - domer2
2016 - To be determined

Proposed rules:

-11 teams, 10 picks per team
-$325m cap on each pick
-Snake draft of the ABBABABAB variety
-Most North American box office at the end of January 2018 wins

Note: If your movie gets moved to 2018 or does not get a theatrical release, you may pick a movie that went unpicked, but it must be at least two weeks from release. For substitutions only: $325m cap if its a 1st round pick, $200m cap for a round 2 pick, $150m cap for round 3 & 4, $100m for round 5 & 6, $80m cap for round 7 & 8, and $60m cap for round 9 & 10.

Anyone new wanting to join, you can offer to team up with someone. wesrwood may be looking to team up.

This draft will start tomorrow (you may start earlier if you want), I will be randing the order of drafting very shortly. You will have 6 hours to make your pick in each round, although this will be lax in the first round. You also cannot be skipped between 12am and 7am eastern time for those in USA#1, and cannot be skipped in the middle of the night for the two euros (thingy, derwi) or the aussie (diabolical). You cannot be skipped on Dec 25th. Goal is to wrap this up by the New Year, which should be doable.

Yea I'd like own by myself if possible if that's not an option I'll co own with someone

"Randomized"

TOP 3 PICK BOOYAH

probably doesn't mean anything, I just usually have limited choices for first round

With the first pick of the 2017 box office draft, domer2 selects:

Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2

YOU MUST BE SO EMBARASSED

wes is joining team Stuck btw

The aaronk56s select:

Star Wars Episode VIII

Gonna have to reach deep right out of the gate

Can't believe Star Wars dropped to 2nd.

The DCCU will never be as successful as the MCU but I'm pretty sure this is a lock for a Cap given how even BvS and Suicide Squad capped, and also a [Redacted] reason.

We'll take JLA

Haven't had a proper look yet but Beauty and the Beast seems like a pretty safe bet.

Hard to go too wrong with anything Disney.

Solid pick. Still rattled about Emma Watson being the lead. She's hot and a good actor but she doesn't scream "Disney Princess" to me. The movie needs someone who is 1 crayon away from being a cartoon character - big eyes, beautiful complexion and a nice singing voice. Someone like Zooey Deschanel, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Alison Brie or hell, even Anna Kendrick

I just remembered how desirable picks #4-7 are in this format, year after year (usually). Oh well

yeah, im gonna crush

I probably wouldn't watch it if any of those were cast

Imo someone *like* them but completely unknown should have been cast - but then I guess Disney wouldn't make $1B like they want...

Despicable Me 3

Not a bad year to be 11th to be quite honest

I can't believe [Redacted] has dropped this far already. I was considering taking it at #3.

I mean, kind of a moot discussion when talking about the first ~5-8 picks, but meh

Don't want to **** on your pick but does anyone else think this is way early? Even the best received live action Disney princess movies lately have not come close to cap.

Snow white and the huntsman, Cinderella, maleficent. They perform well, but not top 4, or am I crazy?

After the first couple rounds lmk what your thought process was here, because looking at my list it looks like kind of a ****ty situation for you, depending on what #7-#10 picks are.

Good point. I'd say of the 5 drafted so far this has the least chance of capping

filthyvermin selects: Spiderman Homecoming
