    Is It going to be huge or not? If so, looks like Winston may take it again.

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    Oddly enough, it's looking like it might be. The history of Stephen King at the box office is not a pretty picture, so I thought it was safe to pass on that one. But it's got next-to-zero competition and the reviews are actually remarkably good.

    Excellent! So far, we've got everyone back except dreamdead. As promised, I'll give him until the 12th to respond.

    After that, I'll open it up to new participants, with a cap at 6 per league.

    I'm in. Lamenting my choice of many mediocre comedies. Seems like they just don't sustain much anymore--though nothing really sustains anymore.

    I've come up with a very silly new stat to quantify how well players have done historically. I will call it DSQ (Draft Success Quotient).

    I calculated it by taking the number of times you have won a draft round versus your opponents (selected the movie with the highest box office total), minus the number of times you have selected the worst grossing movie in a round, divided by your total number of rounds played.

    If you selected a 'round average', that round does not count for you (kind of like talking a walk in baseball). If you selected a replacement film in a given round, that score does count.

    I've totaled up everyone's DSQ throughout all seasons played, including this one (but only for rounds that have been completed). Naturally, the more often you've played, the more accurate your DSQ.

    Again, I realize this is very silly.

    Anyway, here you go ... (wins/losses/total rounds played)

    1. Winston (13/2/27) .407
    2. Skitch (14/4/36) .278
    3. Henry Gale (4/1/13) .231
    4. transmogrifier (3/1/9) .222
    5. Ezee (12/6/44) .136
    6. Ivan (12/8/45) .089
    7. Lazlo (10/8/44) .045
    8. Duke (5/6/43) -.023
    9. TGM (8/9/34) -.029
    10. Spinal (9/13/44) -.091
    11. Gizmo (4/6/18) -.111
    12. dreamdead (4/7/18) -.167

    Well, it looks like Winston's DSQ is going up even higher.

    Probably Skitch's too.

    Just want to give everyone a head's up that we'll start drafting tomorrow evening, so you may want to take a look at the upcoming movies schedule if you haven't already.

    Lazlo
    Skitch
    Winston

    B:
    dreamdead

    Somebody from League A, please post a randomized draft order for League B (so that I don't have anything to do with it).

    I estimate Kingsman will need to make around $180 to push Ivan over the top.

    Edit: just a guess off the top of my head.
