SLAM! Posted May 31, 2022 Author Share Posted May 31, 2022 (edited) @Alpha @Blankments @cookie @4815162342 @Ezen Baklattan @YourMother @Xillix @MCKillswitch123 @Rorschach @Reddroast @El Squibbonator @lamamama @Ethan Hunt Available Y9 Dates With the July 18th deadline about four weeks away, I have decided to make a list of available dates on the schedule. Feel free to use this if you're struggling with when you should release a film. These dates aren't your only options, not by any means, but posting films here would round out the schedule and help the game move forward. Also, there can definitely be multiple films on a specific date, and the game could especially use multiple films on major dates such as Holidays. And just because a film is listed doesn't mean it'll be posted, since films get pushed into later game years all the time. If you see a film of yours listed here and you know, "well that film's not happening this year," you can confirm that and I'll adjust this list. This is a living post that I plan to update as we get closer to the July 18th deadline. Spoiler Dates That Could Use Another Film: - May 16th (could use a film other than my small documentary) Based on this chart, all that's needed to fill out the rest of the Y9 schedule is an amount that's less than ten films. This means the end's in sight! Feel free to post a film of yours anywhere you want, and remember to have fun. Yes, CAYOM is first and foremost a place to have fun and imagine cool feature films. Everybody wants to post the next big blockbuster or the critics darling that sweeps the Oscars, wins Best Picture, etc.; but you know what gives you no chance at a billion worldwide and no chance at Oscar nods? Not posting anything at all. So keep at it, don't give up, and let's make Y9 one for the history books!

El Squibbonator Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 I'm hoping to put my second Workshop movie for this year, Dinosaucers, sometime in August, around the same time the studio released Frankenstein Jr. last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest August 1st. Attack on Titan will get a hard R rating so they’ll coexist fine and you won’t be next to any other animated movies. Edited June 1, 2022 by SLAM!

SLAM! Posted June 2, 2022 Author Share Posted June 2, 2022 (edited) Temporary Updated Y9 Schedule So this updated schedule is meant as a way to keep track of new posts on the submission thread for the time being; the schedule on the other thread may be updated in the future, but this schedule will tide over players eager for an updated top-down look at how the year's shaping up so far. This is a living post that I plan to update as more films get submitted in the lead-up to the June 27th deadline. Whenever films are posted in the submission thread, I'll add them here, and if you have any other requests about the schedule, you can tag me in this discussion thread and I'll make changes; my goal is to do either of those tasks within twenty-four hours of the film getting posted or the request being made. 😎 Spoiler Friday, January 3rd Winner Takes All - Thriller/Black Comedy - Directed by Stefan Schwartz - R - $12.5m budget - 3,088 theaters Friday, January 10th Socksucker - Romantic Comedy - Directed by Paul Fieg - R - $25m budget - 3,278 theaters Friday, January 17th (4-Day MLK Weekend) Interceptors - Sci-Fi/Action - Directed by Simon West - PG-13 - $100m budget - 3,625 theaters - In IMAX (2 Weeks) Super Monkey Ball - Animated Comedy - Directed by Cody Cameron and Kris Pearn - PG - $91m budget - 3,770 theaters Friday, January 24th Go-Kart Gottlieb - Drama - Directed by Tom Tykwer - PG-13 - $40m budget - 2,370 theaters Friday, January 31st By The Seaside - Teen Romantic Comedy - directed by Karen Maine - PG-13 - $25m budget - 3,433 theatersGrand Theft Auto - Crime/Thriller/Action/Satire/Drama - Directed by Liz Friedlander - R - $60m budget - 3,883 theaters - In IMAX (2 weeks)Friday, February 7th The Crummy Shindig - Comedy/Musical - Directed by Ol Parker - PG - $30m budget - 3,317 theaters Friday, February 14th (4-Day President’s Day Weekend) Landslide - Action/Thriller - Directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber - PG-13 - $70m budget - 4,022 theaters - In IMAX (12 weeks) Whinge & Cringe - Live-Action & Animation Hybrid/Black Comedy - Directed by Peter Avanzino - R - $75m budget - 3,179 theaters Friday, February 21st Scales of Justice - Legal Drama - Directed by Scott Frank - R - $30m budget - 3,160 theaters Friday, February 28th Death Is Not My Friend - Surrealist Drama - Directed by Emily Harris - PG-13 - $25m budget - 2,589 theatersFriday, March 7th Bugcatcher Boys - Family Comedy - Directed by Thor Freudenthal - PG - $15m budget - 2,877 theatersDeep Sixed - Action - Directed by Patrick Hughes - R - $30m budget - 3,432 theaters Friday, March 14thThe Last Victim - Horror - Directed by André Øvredal - R - $30m budget - 3,150 theaters Friday, March 21st Alakazam! - Animation - Directed by Sarah Smith and J.P.

MCKillswitch123 Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 @SLAM! Some changes in the schedule: Whinge & Cringe is now scheduled for February 14th, the 4-day President's Day Weekend; while Death is Not My Friend now opens on February 28th. Also, some corrections: - Death is Not My Friend's theater count is 2589; your post doesn't link to the movie; and you have a typo on its budget (listed as $425m budget, rather than $25 million); - The Boy Who Hated Books does not have a listed budget (it's $42 million); - Warmth's theater count is 500 on its second expansion, and 2978 on its fifth and final one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hollow I’m having a draft done by Friday as progress as going good but Joyride really depends on how much I get done Sunday. Working on a few smaller fillers to hold in some spots today.
