Summer Movie Auction
Andrew proposes a new kind of draft: an auction and nobody quite follows. After careful explanation and examples, the rest of AN EGG is on board to draft the biggest box office winners of the summer. Who will come out on top with the biggest bank, who will be the box office bomb, and who is seeing both parts of that Kevin Costner movie?

Congratulations Gavin
One of my all time favorite episodes. I can’t wait for the end of summer when y’all go over the results. Each week I’m reminded of who bought what & how it’s doing.
Bro I'm going to see Horizon and I think Geoff is CRAZY
So excited so the update on numbers as inside out 2 just hit like 62million on opening day in Canada.
Would love to do one of these it was so much fun to listen to.
This rules
This is amazing ❤️
I keep thinking these drafts/auctions will be boring and you keep proving me wrong. I hate being wrong. I love quality content. I’m so confused!
u/bloodyscall on reddit made a website to track the summer movie rankings https://doctor-reg.vercel.app/
I'm losing my regulation listener status to say this, but after about 4 years of trying to convince my boyfriend to listen to this show, this is the format that finally converted him. He's devastated that there's only one of these; please make more to keep him hooked!!
Show him the drafts! I’m sure he’ll love those too!
That was so good. I love the auction format. You can do it for videogames, instead of box office random countries for past movie releases, and music sales.
I can’t believe Eric spent 17 points for Furiosa, IT TANKED…..
I noticed this one was only in video form on YouTube, but every other post has had a Patreon and YouTube video…please continue the both of them because YouTube is horrid if you don’t pay for it too 🥺
Nick getting "Sight" for 2pts is crazy. Christian movies basically have a version of Patreon, where you buy extra tickets so the "less fortunate" can see them.
Justice for Nick!! Piss Rat stole his 2 points!
Loved this!! Very fun idea! Can't wait to see where you guys take it!
I feel like the left over points should be able to be traded in for a mil per point.
How did I just listen to grown men shout out numbers and enjoy myself so much? Hilarious!
This was amazing
Geoff listing island movies, talking about the restaurant movie, and just saying “Restaurant Movie,” instead of island movie nearly killed me. Terrific content, would love to see some stats at the end like average revenue per point per player, and stuff like that
This was an INCREDIBLE idea!
Deadpool is gonna kill
This was a great idea
This makes me want to get one of those theatre passes for the year and just go to every single one
Love this. Some missed points here and there. Mih. Get Graysie in on this for the Holiday season though. Can’t wait for all the follow-up!
This is a fantastic format. Please keep this going. Easily just as entertaining if not more than a draft.
Feel like Geoff got a sleeper hit with It Ends With Us and none of them even know it. Colleen Hoover's probably the biggest name in romance rn and It Ends With Us is one of her biggest. Could easily be the next 50 Shades of Grey.
I’m really surprised nobody just attempted to buy as many as possible. They’d add up so quickly, even if they’re all slightly smaller films.
Yeah it didn’t seem like they were great at estimating how good of a deal it would be to snatch up movies for 2 or 3 points early on.
This format rocks. I hope they do this every year.
Gave Eric a boost by seeing the Haikyuu movie today. It was just me and 2 other people in the theater so idk if that's looking good for him
Well I'll be giving Gavin a hand in this. Inside Out 2 comes out on my birthday and I took the day off work to take my 5 year old to see it, she loved the first one and has been begging to see the second ever since they started teasing it on Disney+
Hope you guys do this next year too. So fun :)
gavin's studio exec reviewing the results video idea is excellent
Why did Eric spend so many points on emo John Wick
Is it just me or does the Patreon RSS not push the podcasts on my app?
I use the PodcastAddict app & it's working fine for me, for what that's worth.
Best draft type thus far
This format works so well for them. It's pretty funny every time Andrew comes up with an idea and the others don't at all get it, but turns out to be brilliant. Fun to see the anime movies in there too and them not knowing anything about them.
Haikyuu!! Fans are going to blow this group outta the water I swear. Fly!!!
Apparently inside out 2 is getting a 100 day theatrical run so there's potential
I used to work at a theater. kids movies make bank and stay at the theater forever
i've never thrown my hands up into the air in disbelief more times in one hour in my life. 10/10
You guys should do this for the summer of 98 movies. You have the list already from the draft and it has the potential to be even more competitive, because people would be going off what they think they know about how much a movie did or didn’t make. Once the bidding has finished it would fun to see you guys immediately go through how much movies made and see he won.
Once this is all said and done it would be really fascinating to figure out what the individual value of each point ended up being for each person.
I hope Geoff wins so that they fall down the Terence Hill (and Bud Spencer) pipeline with superfuzz. Theres so many you can make a draft. They call me trinity is an all timer
Insane!
This rules
This was so much fun! Excited for more auction drafts in the future.
I'm really excited to see how this turns out haha Gavin definitely has some sleeper picks but I think Nick or Andrew are going to take it
The dumpster battle getting sold for 2 is WILD. That’s a huge anime people have been waiting for years for
Well it opened this weekend at $3.5 million, so apparently not that wild
I am so excited to see how this turns out. Think beetle juice beetle juice will clean up.
This is such a great edition to the show, love this immediately
Well Deadpool and Wolverine is probably a billion plus movie. So congrats Andrew😝
A spreadsheet with the correct values and more sorting, in case you want to follow along: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LoDwppVer-abg4Ehuksgq4LIwbXdFZrAnvIFOB8_nZk/edit?usp=sharing
That's awesome!
James & Elyse Willems from Funhaus would be too powerful in this
This is amazing
Eric won Janet Planet at 2 but the 2 was taken away from Nicks list at about 26:10 in the video.
They took the 2 points for Janet Planet from Nick when it should've been Eric
I was worred I was the only one who noticed that too! Justice for Nick!
This was awesome!
The Ryan Toy movie is gonna make bank
this rules
They also missed 3 points on Geoff for it ends with us
This is a game that the kind of funny guys have been playing with video game releases. I know they have a whole website that does it. I wonder if somebody makes a version of this for movies?
What an incredible concept. I've never cared so much about the box office performance of every summer movie, but now I'm obsessed. Can't wait to see how this plays out!
Twisters is going to be the steal of the draft
This is the type of content I love to see
Very good, next time put the list of films starting below your names and then just put the winning bid in that person's column
This is very similar to Fantasy Movie League which worked similarly but with $1000 per week and they gave a dollar value to each movie based on it's projected earnings. It seems it shut down officially 3 months ago though
I would like to formally submit my application to make the spreadsheets that you guys use for this kind of content to make them work better for a video format and update with helpful formatting as you go. Harder to make mistakes and easier for the audience to understand who has what. I’d do it for free and put all my spreadsheet skills to work haha. But seriously, love the content and this was very fun!
This format is rad. v fun. good stuff.
This fuckin rules
As a /r/boxoffice follower I’ve never felt so seen.
Need a regulation letterboxd account I can follow so I can see what they rate these movies (strangers was a dog shit copy of the original)
I think Eric and Nick are going to be 1 and 2 I just don’t feel confident enough to pick a clear winner
this was so great I loved this concept so much
I think a version of this with concert ticket sales would be wild if possible - that market is SO volatile with artists cancelling big arena tours that don't sell so it would be high risk, high reward
Maybe do one for music
No idea where you guys come up with this stuff but keep it coming. Keen for updates and keen for more auctions 😊💵
They took the 2 Eric bid on Janet Planet out of Nick's line. Unless they correct it later.
Nick got charged 2 points for one of Eric's movies
I was gonna say, I noticed Eric wasn't charged the 2 points for Janet Planet, but I didn't see it taken from Nick, but you are right. I don't think it ended up mattering in the end though.
It boggles my.mind why you didn't just put each 'winning bid,' in line with each movie... Then we could easily remember how much each winner wasted on each movie too... And it automatically would keep track of who won each. (Although nice to add names too)
I am right there with you
Sounds like I need to become protected by falcons
Geoff's genuine burst of laughter at Nick's "You're outta your fucking mind" at around 16:00 had me just feel good .
I'm going to see Haikyu today, it's a great anime about volleyball and Eric has gotten a steal there it's got a huge fan base
I totally agree! Was shocked they didn’t know that one.
Would we be able to get updates on here every week with a running total of how much everyone has made? Or maybe on the discord? Edit: I posted this in the middle of the video out of excitement...Eric suggested it at the end
It’s going to be a very disappointing box office season if we’re going on the summer so far 😂
I forgot Nick needed to wear the red boots too
I never thought I’d be the type of person excited about fictional drafts. Yet here we are.
Morbius comes back to theaters and claims the top spot beating second place by 4 billion dollars.
Supplemental Sunday.
Good test run for the child auction
I love these types of notifications. Keep up the good work!
hell yeah
Let's go loving the volume of supplementals
Maybe one more would be perfect
this rules
Woohoo
