I was tooling around in imdb and came across a link to the Fantasy Moguls site. The concept sounded interesting in that you play it like fantasy baseball/football by selecting movies and trying to pick the ones with the highest gross - as well as other variations.

I thought some people here might be interested in the game since I remembered some people doing something similar in the dynasty forum.
What I found the most interesting on the site was a projection of the movie grosses for the next couple of months. Here's the full list:

and here's the top ten:
