I may or may not have saw this on EWB and decided to do it here.

But basically this is like fantasy football but with movies.

I have set the league start date as this Monday - so try to join by then. I set the league to end on September 30th.

Basically, you pick 10 movies from the list that open May 13th - the end of September. Who ever has the top grossing movies wins.

To make thinks more challenging, I chose the salary cap option, so each movie will have a "salary" associated with it and you can't go over $100 million.

Sounds like fun? Who's in?

Further rules:
Start Date: May 13, 2013

Important Rule: We have a gentlemen's agreement to NOT include re-releases. If you include re-releases in your 10 movies, you will not be eligible to win.

PRIZE: Winner gets to choose my name, my sig, and my user title for two months

WITH A STUDIO BUDGET:

The premise is the same. The idea of the game is to pick ten movies for your fantasy movie studio that will be released during the game’s time frame. Money earned by a film AFTER the end of the time frame will NOT count.

There will be other time frames and people may create a custom league with different time frames as well. Be sure to check what the time frame of your game is.

Whichever studio’s movie slate has accumulated the most total money in domestic box office during the game’s time frame is the winner. (September 30)

To set your line-up: Pick the ten movies you think will gross the most money at the domestic box office (United States, first run) for your studio slate (aka your line-up). You can pick any ten, AS LONG AS THE TOTAL PRICE FOR YOUR TEN MOVIES DOES NOT EXCEED $100 MILLION DOLLARS.

In the Studio Budget version, every studio (your “team”) has a total budget of $100 million. Every motion picture that is scheduled to be released has been given a price.

Select ten movies, with the total cost of the ten movies equal to or less than $100 million. You cannot exceed $100 million in terms of total cost of your line-up.

You may swap movies at any time you want, as long as the movie HAS NOT OPENED. Once a movie has opened, you cannot change it.

Again, at the end of the time frame, the studio slate whose movies combine for the most total domestic box office during the game’s time frame is the winner.

Would have been nice to know before I picked my movies that re-released movies get their prior box office amounts credited.

I joined. It was very difficult finding a good balance. And I'll probably change my mind again.
