I've just joined a film site which allows you to choose 8 films and then get ranked based on box office success.
I've set up a league called Boat Drinks League here:
http://www.fantasymoguls.com/movies/ultimate/group/list?searchForm.gameId=2&searchForm.visibility=1&searchForm.ruleSetId=0
Basically its Fantasy Football but with something interesting :D
Have a look and see what you think :)
MB
I have a studio now but for some reason the league doesn't appear for me to join.

You'll need the password which is omgwtfbbq, I'll see if I can find a way to link to it
MB
Ah, now it has appeared! 'boat' didn't come up with any results in the search the first time I tried it. Will try now.
Edit: Entered password and my studio name and it said 'Please enter a valid value'. Do we need to be invited as it's a private league?

There are two different versions of the game, make sure you are playing the 'ultimate one'.
Which email address do you want an invite sent to?
MB
Matblack
06-09-2007, 11:52
Done (and I have removed your email, for security purposes)
Anyone else who wants to join can PM one of us and we can then invite you. It shouldn't stop you making you studio though :)

This is odd, I didn't have any issues with joining using a test account and without an invite :/
Just go to this page http://www.fantasymoguls.com/movies/ultimate/group/list?searchForm.gameId=2&searchForm.visibility=1&searchForm.ruleSetId=0
Select private and its a few down, you then ask to join and enter the password omgwtfbbq and you should be straight in and can set up your studio from there.
Hope that helps
MB
Aha! The password is case sensitive; I was putting it in capitals. No idea why the email never arrived though.

MB

To get a good season you really need to register soon because otherwise you will lose opertunities to buy movies.
Come on guys its free and fun :)
Its as simple as picking movies you think will do well from a list :D

consider me in, but can't til monday, hope it's not too late.
Joined ! Just looking at apple trailers for ideas.
This film is going to be big i expect
http://www.apple.com/trailers/disney/enchanted/large.html
Question, do you select a film and be it for the season or do you pick one, and when it comes off the charts you can pick another from the money it's made ?
Matblack

Once a movie is in your rosta and opened then its locked until the end of the season. The new season will start in December.
MB
ah ! ok. Almost picked my 8 films now.
This looks like a great movie :p
http://www.apple.com/trailers/lions_gate/goodluckchuck/large.html
I just randomed most of them.

There is still time to join for this season although new joiners will have a few movies which they can't add to their roster as they have now been released, still worth a go though :)
MB
Wish I could remember which of those studios is mine.
November is going to be a big month for me, 4 movies opening. Including Bee Movie, Fred Claus and Enchanted.
Trouble is the season ends at the start of December, so you only get a few weeks out of them. Granted, the opening weekends will be huge though.
That's a good point...........didn't know it ends early in december, thought it was the end or at least 4 weeks after the last opening.

I don't undertand why the links aren't working for you
MB
There's a problem with choosing films released early in the season - I only have one film left to be released in a months time, and there are people very close to me in points who have that same film, plus others too. Doesn't bode well.
But right now I'm winning, so jog on. :p

Doesn't make much difference in the long run, in fact it can be advantageous. Late choices seem to work too as often the real big fans will bang in big IMDBs at the start of the season and then the mass voting will bring it down later. Swings and roundabouts mate :)

its strange, all the ones you've listed as well as all the links on this thread work. as soon as i try to search or login or go to any other links on the MM page it gives me a 404.
Matblack
27-09-2007, 12:37
OK People
I've just found out that there is a new season once a month even though each one runs for three months, so it is possible to have 3 studios running at the same time and rather than wait 3 months for a result you get one finish each month :)
I'll post a link to Oct to Dec in a mo

Dymetrie
03-10-2007, 10:46
Damn.
Fifth place despite having the highest takings :/
Straight to the top where I deserve to be:cool:
Mine are ranking significantly better on IMDB ratings than yours Dym which seems to be adding to my score, and your PTA is dire (no idea what that actually means? Per Theatre Average what?)
Matblack
03-10-2007, 19:59
Per theater average take. Its basically a reflection of how packed out the cinema is ho much people will pay for tickets. PTA tends to track to the IMDB and Cume$ tracks to Top5 :)

And an interesting start to the November Game ;D
http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o237/dymetrie/NovGame.jpg
Not in the October Game m'afraid :(
DailyGeek needs to pick some films for Novembers game :)
And I have all but 2 films the same as MB for November :o I might review my slate :)
Dymetrie

And... er.... yeah...

How does the position in the league table works? I have 160million in Total Box office but in 10th place ? A little bit confused.
Matblack
16-11-2007, 16:21
Its not based on total BO$, thats just part of the equation, you also get points for PTA$ which is who packed the cinema is, IMDB score which is voted for by the public, and movie popularity which is show by the top scorers that week.
So wining this thing isn't just about buying big money movies ;)
MB
oh....some reason i thought it was, hence i chosen films that could make some money but not necessarily good movies, will bear that in mind next round. :)
Bah I'm really **** at this.
Matblack
29-11-2007, 13:17
New league has opened but the db is up the creek at the moment, so you might want to join and then leave it a couple of days before you pick your movies. The start date isn't until next Thursday anyway :)
http://www.fantasymoguls.com/movies/ultimate/group/view?groupSeasonId=4852
MB
Will do when I get home tonight :)
Have to look at one of my lot as a film I picked no longer has a release date :/
OK maybe a few days later than planned :o
Sorted out the one which has TBC as a release date too :(

Dec-Feb

Last few were a bit quiet, I think the people who have been playing will agree that its a fun and easy game and takes up as much time as you want it to, you can select movies and then leave it or fiddle with your selections throughout the month :)
The link to join for the new season is in the previous post.
