Fantasy Moguls - Anyone heard of this?
 

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:

Similar to the Hollywood Stock Exchange where you can buy/sell movies and actors.

anybody want to get a fantasy mogul league going?

I came across this and I'm interested in this...

If someone starts it, I'd jump in.

if theres enough interest, i will start one up.

I think we should do Ultimate, sounds more interesting.

If you are playing Moguls Box Office, the studio whose slate of films make the most money in total domestic (and Canada) box office by the end of the season, wins.
If you are playing Ultimate Moguls, the studio whose slate of films performs the best in four categories (Total Box Office, Per-Theatre-Average, IMDb.com User Review score and Weeks in the Top 5) by the end of the season, wins. More details on scoring are below.

Thoughts?

we only need 8 people.

I would be willing to play
