That too.

Respect the hustle tho.

I considered it, but I don't think I have as much confidence in his chances as you do.

[mention]timmer[/mention] NICE TRY BUCKEROO

Limited/awards qualifying openings count, even if no official box office earnings are reported

timmer wrote: ↑Sat Dec 21, 2019 6:47 pm Drop Michael B. Jordan
Add: Joe Pesci

(The Irishman never reported any box office yet, so this should be legal)

Party Foul.

Drop Just Mercy
Add Uncut Gems

I think I'll be aight

Meowch

Wait, it isn't?

timmer wrote: ↑Fri Oct 18, 2019 12:25 pm I think on my movie site I'm not going to make it out of the box office round this year

Oh nooooo what happened

Says you.

As I found out last year, the round that matters the least.

Me tbh.

BTW In case it wasn't clear I'm effectively cancelling my last transaction

My man out here making big moves

timmer wrote: ↑Mon Sep 23, 2019 1:21 pm No, but she won't qualify for awards for The Farewell, either. The actor has to be on your roster when the film opens to give you anything at all, so she's kind of useless to have at this point. If you still want her, lmk.

I misunderstood your Annette Benning pick from last year then. I guess I don't want her then

Also there's no way Clint Eastwood's Funtime Cocaine Hour nets anything.

That's what we say in baseball when your man finally gets walk...

I get the impression you say that out of experience.
Look at this guy.

dunya wrote: ↑Mon Jul 30, 2018 6:36 am does anyone know why green book doesn't have a US opening listed? or am i just not seeing it? some potential picks in there for me if it had one.

drop georgetown (for no release date in sight yet) pick up peterloo

sorry timmer, pls don't hate me. i just really really wanna get beyond golden globes and i've been studying up

No idea about Green Book.

I almost took Peterloo myself, but I couldn't find a movie I had that I wanted to dump.

Here, I'm thinking maybe it's the opposite. The exception would have been if you could drop or trade something already open.. .for example, now that I know I have the most box office, would I risk dropping or trading some of that box office knowing someone else could pick it up? (Not advocating for this btw, just an interesting parallel to fantasy football in my mind).

And of course, I could be completely wrong and Jay, DH, dunya and timmer could be the last 4 standing

TBH I'm feeling pretty good about my chances. My films (the majority of which I picked in the actual draft) could do real work in the awards scenarios. Screenplay, Score, Visual Effects, I feel pretty good.

I can't do it. I almost mode the mistake of dumping Forgive Me. Too much awards punch in there, sorry.
I know I missed my fucking chance. Yuck. If my 2 open on time I don't have a problem but I'm sceptical at this point for Where'd You Go Bernadette.

You don't look in bad shape to me
