We play producer, well I can't, I'm playing Banker.
Every once in a while, I'll post a movie that will be released soon. It's up to you forumers to bid for it. Everyone starts with 20m dollars. And there will be an auction, that lasts for 24 hours, for one movie. When that movie is released, the person who bought the movie will get his money back through the film's box-office success. So if TWTCommish bought "Serendipity" last week for 10 million and it eventually grosses 30 million, he'll have 40 million [20-10=10+30=40] in the bank to bid for "Harry Potter" let's say when it comes out.
Because it's a Thursday, I'll post 3 movies up for auction this week.
