Box Office Draft 2025 Thread
Proposed rules:
- No January movies
-10 teams, 8 picks per team (no January and maybe still a reduced number of movies?)
-$325m cap on each pick (Maybe move this?)
-Standard snake draft of the ABABABAB variety (only 6 of us and there are 6 bangers, so no need for 6th to go first 2 rounds in a row)
-Most North American box office at the end of January 2026 wins
Note: If your movie gets (1) moved to 2026 or (2) does not get a theatrical release or (3) gets a simultaneous streaming/theatrical release (be wary of Netflix films!), you may pick a movie that went unpicked, but it must be at least two weeks from release.
For substitutions only: $250m cap if its a 1st round pick, $150m cap for a round 2 pick, $100m cap for round 3 & 4, $75m for round 5 & 6, $70m cap for round 7 & 8, and $50m cap for round 9 & 10.

I think back then we ran this earlier and so weren’t as rushed and had more discussion
Also post-pandemic and with streaming sooner, box office has lost some of its luster
I’m less certain of how movies will do than I was back then
Oh was thinking if it wasn't released it was fine. Nevermind. I don't know
Final Destination: Bloodlines
Now You See Me 3
Gunna go super left field with Nobody 2 and hope that revenge porn still has power
I'll take The Battle of Baktan Cross.
PTA is box office poison, but maybe Leo and a big budget will offset that a little?
The Smurfs Movie
Animal Friends
I'll go with
Saw XI
The Bride!
Horror is always reliable
The Housemaid
Regretting You
Marty Supreme
Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy
