I have been slacking a bit on keeping the Winter Movie Draft up to date, but figured I should check in and see how everyone is doing. Standings have some a long way in the recent weeks, and there cert…

Fantasy Movie Draft–where Fantasy Sports meets movies!
Winter Movie Draft 2016 – Weeks 1 & 2
So, for some reason I thought the movies in the Winter Movie Draft didn’t start until last Saturday, but apparently they started the Saturday before that—Whoops! So far we have had five movies for the…
Winter Movie Draft 2016 – How the Draft Went
So, it seemed everyone had a good time with the Summer Movie Draft held during the “blockbuster” season of movies, so the group opted to try out a Winter Draft to see how that would go. We decided to …
Fantasy Movie Draft: Week 22 Update
In the final week of the Summer Movie Draft, we can safely say that Violet is the winner. Suicide Squad still came in at number one over the weekend, but the box office as a whole did not do spectacul…
Fantasy Movie Draft: Week 21 Update
As expected, over the weekend, Suicide Squad managed to keep the top spot, but what was a bit surprising was how big of a drop off it had. With a 67% drop off, this was not what David needed to have a…
Fantasy Movie Draft: Week 20 Update
Over the weekend, Suicide Squad had a big weekend as expected. The marketing for the film really paid off in terms of box office numbers, as it brought in over $133 million. Unfortunately, it has univ…
Fantasy Movie Draft: Week 18 Update
Star Trek: Beyond, the third movie in the rebooted Star Trek movies centering around Captain Kirk, came in number one as expected this weekend, making $59.2 million. This was less than I thought it wo…
Fantasy Movie Draft: Week 17 Update
It is time for the Week 17 update to the Summer Movie Draft. And well, I had a pretty good guess for the movie box office this weekend. I figured The Secret Life of Pets would beat out Ghostbusters, a…
Fantasy Movie Draft: Week 16 Update
We had a pretty big opening for one movie this weekend–The Secret Life of Pets opened to a big $104 million dollar opening weekend. I thought it would be number one, and do well because of the w…
Fantasy Movie Draft: Week 15 Update
We had a long weekend, with the 4th of July being on Monday, and we had a pretty good movie weekend. Again to my surprise, Finding Dory snagged the number one spot with about $50 million. The Legends …
Fantasy Movie Draft: Week 14 Update
Yet again, I am unable to make a good guess as to what film will be number one this weekend. I would have thought that Independence Day: Resurgence would walk away as the winner this weekend, but I wa…
Fantasy Movie Draft: Week 13 Update
So, no surprise this weekend. Finding Dory easily took the box office this week. Making over $135 million in the US put it as the highest earning animated film for an opening weekend. Well deserved to…
Fantasy Movie Draft: Week 12 Update
I had a feeling this weekend would be a tough one to figure out. I thought Warcraft might be able to pull out the win for the weekend given it feels more like a summer movie than the other two, but un…
Fantasy Movie Draft: Week 11 Update
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows was the big release this weekend, and it did achieve the number one spot, but to my disappointment (considering I own this in the Summer Movie Draft), …
Fantasy Movie Draft: Week 10 Update
This Memorial Day holiday weekend did not really have any big surprises in terms of the order of the weekend’s box office, but the numbers for the new releases were lower than I had anticipated. X-Men…
Fantasy Movie Draft: Week 9 Update
In the Ninth week of the Fantasy Movie Draft, there was a pretty exciting battle for the top box office spot over the weekend! I thought that Captain America: Civil War would hang onto the number one …
Fantasy Movie Draft: Week 8 Update
Again, this weekend there were no surprises at the box office for number one and two. Captain America: Civil War remained at number one again, bringing in about $72.6 million. Violet has to be happy a…
Fantasy Movie Draft: Week 7 Update
Box Office Weekly Round Up Well there was a big (non) surprise this week. Captain America: Civil War topped the box office, making a huge sum of money–$179.1 million dollars. Violet has to be ve…
Fantasy Movie Draft: Week 6 Update
Weekend Wrap Up For The Movie Draft In this sixth week of the Summer Movie Draft, Jungle Book proved its staying power, with it making an additional $44 million at the box office. David has to be happ…
Fantasy Movie Draft: Week 5 Update
This weekend, we had a couple more movies come out. There were some surprises in the box office for both new movies and movies that had already been released. Let’s see how our Movie Draft playe…
Fantasy Movie Draft: Week 4 Update
Over the weekend we had 3 new releases – The Jungle Book, Barbershop: The Next Cut, and Criminal. These all did moderately well, and The Jungle Book in particular exceeded expectations. David ha…
Weekly Fantasy Movie Draft: Week 3 Update
Week 3 certainly was more exciting than week 2 of the Fantasy Movie Draft. There were a couple surprises at the box office, with The Boss opening surprisingly strong. Meanwhile, Hardcore Henry had a p…
