The Summer Movie Draft is an annual tradition here among the Who What Where's Why podcast hosts. This is a friendly game where the hosts pick certain movies from the summer season, and hope their choices combined will make the most at the worldwide box office for the win. The summer movie season starts in the first weekend of May, until Labor Day weekend; which is in September. To keep things simple, we will only consider the movies in wide release in the months of May, June, July, and August.
The participating hosts will record a Stuff & Junk episode during the last week of April, when they will make their draft picks, based on six rounds. The order for who goes first and who goes last on the draft will be determined during the podcast recording. Everybody gets 1 pick chosen from the four months in the first round. The second round will only be for May, the third round for June, fourth round for July, and fifth round for August. Each participant gets 1 pick chosen from each month, during those four rounds. During the sixth round, each participant gets 1 pick chosen from whatever is left available from the four months. Needless to say, No duplicate choices.
The current standings will be shared here on The4Dubs during the first week of June, July, and August. With the final results announced on the Stuff & Junk Show during the first week of September.
These are the choices of movies, as listed in boxofficemojo.com.
