I'm in too this year!

Great news !! Welcome back, UDM !

Standings (up until April 21)

And then there was only one week to go. And if the numbers will change a bit, everyone’s rankings will stay the same when the season will officially be over in a week, as the only question mark that remained was the battle between Banks and Walleye for 4th place, but despite Abigail’s release, Walleye hasn’t closed in on Banks and remains $12M behind, thanks to the combination of Dune and Kung Fu Panda for Banks.

1. Trannyspeare - $1,581,130,189 (2 films - Godzilla x Kong, Bob Marley)
2. Spectrespeare - $962,508,897 (2 films - The Ministry of Ungentlemanly…, Imaginary)
3. Screenspeare - $929,342,808 (Civil War)
4. Bankspeare - $819,887,194 (3 films - Immaculate, Kung Fu Panda, Dune II)
5. Walleyespeare - $807,134,637 (1 film - Abigail)
6. Shrykespearemi - $794,389,785 (1 film - Ghostbusters)
7. Ronspeare - $581,896,428 (no film in theaters)
8. Chienspeare - $481,599,074 (2 films - Spy x Family Code, Monkey Man)
9. Sixspeare - $465,414,412 (3 films - The First Omen, Arthur the King, Cabrini)

The following films appear to be done :
Anyone But You (Walleye, 7th round) = $88,319,668
Madame Web (Ron, 3rd round) = $43,817,106
Demon Slayer (Spectre, WW) = $17,657,658

4/26
Challengers (Screen, WW)
Unsung Hero (Spectre, WW)

Next season’s order of draft should be, then :
1. Six
2. Chien
3. Ron
4. Walleye
5. Banks
6. Screen
7. Spectre
8. Tranny
9. Undeadmonkey

Excellent year everyone! Can't wait for another one!

Part of me wants to take a victory lap right now, but that would honestly just be mean. The draft I was able to string together was just absurdly good-partly because none of my heavy-hitters got moved out of this season and The Eras Tour WW pickup was the cherry on top of this dream run. As ecstatic as I would be to keep riding this wave of good fortune, I'm fully expecting the tide to dramatically turn this upcoming season.

So are we starting this year's draft on Sunday?

Yes, for sure, I'm up for it.

Not sure if I have time to run it, though, so if anyone else wants to take over explaining the rules and helping chase anyone whose turn it is, that would be great.

I can run it if need be, but Chien has handled it the past 2 years, so I kind of expected him to do it again. I'll also send an email out sometime in the next 24 hours for the people that don't lurk around these parts as much to let them know we're starting on Sunday.

I can run it again this year, no problem. I reached out to Ron this week, as I think he's the only one that wasn't here lately to say if he was up for it. I told him we'd start on sunday, and he answered, he's good to go.

Fantastic. Since we've now heard from Ron, we should be completely good to go for Sunday.

Chien my friend, if you set up the Draft thread, I'll make my first pick.

It should be no surprise to anyone.

Borderlands? Nightbitch? Den of Thieves 2 perhaps?

Cabrini 2: Jesus Boogaloo

That Reagan biopic that was shot years ago but remains unreleased.

Well, you have to perpetuate the tradition of drafting the film that opens the summer season, aka The Fall Guy, yes, we all know that, Six

I'll launch the draft thread tomorrow sunday. Be all prepared.
