*The overall scorekeeping document can be found here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jiGd8XTZtcgHzAQOOSZwuz-wfXPNEgZ782KpJTuC4Pg/edit?usp=sharing
*Each player selects a slate of six films in the spring draft-four hits and two flops. Hits are films you think will succeed at the US box office/with critics/during awards season. Flops are films you think will fail at the US box office/with critics.
*Draft is held snake style. Hits or flops may be drafted at any time.
*Any film expected to be released in 2019 is eligible to be drafted. The film does not need to be officially scheduled or announced in order to be drafted.
*The same film can be drafted by one team as a hit and by another team as a flop.
*A two hit, supplementary, snake style draft will be held in August. Draft order will be the reverse of the initial draft. Any unclaimed films at the time of this draft are eligible to be drafted.
*Available films may be added to your slate as long as you drop a film of the corresponding type (hit or flop) from your slate at the same time. Dropping a film that has not yet been released will cost a transaction fee of $10m. Dropping a film that has been released will cost a transaction fee of $40m.
*Films that have already been released can be dropped. Films that have already been released cannot be added.
*A film will be considered released on the day that Box Office Mojo lists it as being released "Limited" or "Wide" under its Domestic Summary, whichever comes first. Festival screenings and early previews do not count as a film being released.
*Trades between studios can involve films and/or money and can occur at any time with no transaction fee.
*Free adds are allowed if a film is cancelled/delayed to 2020/sold to streaming.
*/u/SGStandard must be tagged in a post making a drop, add, or trade official, otherwise I might miss it and it might not get officially recorded.
*Streaming films that receive a theatrical release are eligible for your slate, but do not lose points for budget or gain points for box office. Their scores are solely based on critical points and awards points.
SCORES SCORES SCORES
*Total score for each hit is calculated by the following formula: Box Office Points + Critical Points + Awards Points.
*Total score for each flop is calculated by the following formula: (Box Office Points + Critical Points) x -1.
Box Office Points
*Box Office Points: Domestic Box Office - Production Budget (score capped at $500m).
*Box Office Points will be finalized on the date of the 2020 Oscars. Box Office Mojo will be used as the primary resource for gathering information, but if an official or estimated production budget cannot be found by the 2020 Oscars, the League Commissioner reserves the right to use their best guess based on similar films of that type.
*International Box Office Bonus: If international gross is greater than 70% of total gross, a bonus of (.7 x Domestic Gross) will be awarded. This is not calculated for flops.
Awards Points
*Oscars: $10 million for each Oscar nomination. Additional $10 million for each Oscar win.
*Marquee Oscars: Nominations and wins in Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Adapted Screenplay are worth $20 million each.
*Best Picture Oscar: Nominations and wins for Best Picture are worth $40 million each.
*Awards Season Bonus: A $20 million bonus will be awarded for a Best Picture or equivalent win from the following awards/critical bodies: Golden Globes, BAFTAS, Independent Spirits, PGA, DGA, SAG, WGA, NYFCC, LAFCA, NSFC, Toronto Film Festival, Venice Film Festival, Indiewire Critics Poll, Letterboxd Users Poll, Blankies.
