That's really a Holiday Pick 5 though, to cover the movies that make money over Thanksgiving and the Christmas-New Year period.
The issue isn't that it's including the "wrong" movies, it could just have a different name.
Personally I'm fine with the early start. Even if they opened the last week in April, having a summer movie challenge without AVNG3 or AVNG4 is like going to a steakhouse and ordering the salad. Like it or not, these days the summer movie season begins when Disney says it begins.
Plus I think it would be needlessly confusing. Say the eligibility period is May 1, highlight in bold that AVNG4 is not eligible and you'll still get a bunch of people who will pick AVNG4, who have to be reminded and asked to pick again, who'll complain that they don't get to pick it, who won't make a replacement choice before the deadline and will complain about that, etc. (Maybe you could get around this by taking entries from after AVNG4 has opened and accepting entries up until the week PIKAC opens)
It should be moot next year - Disney is going back to the first weekend of May for the first Marvel release and hopefully it will stay that way.
Summer Pick ?? Poll...first off, I'm making an exception again and including AVNG4...so should it be a Pick 5 or Pick 7? {nm} Mar 13, 14:50
7 {nm} Mar 13, 14:52
7 {nm} Mar 13, 14:54
Although I am not positive that AVNG4 will be #1 this year...but I still like 7 {nm} Mar 13, 14:55
Go big or go home.... {nm} Mar 13, 14:58
5 {nm} Mar 13, 15:01
7 {nm} Mar 13, 15:04
7 {nm} Mar 13, 15:06
10... give every movie a chance like the BP noms for the AAMPAs {nm} Mar 13, 15:28
7 {nm} Mar 13, 15:30
7 {nm} Mar 13, 15:39
Great question. I'd go 7 to open it up {nm} Mar 13, 15:40
7 please {nm} Mar 13, 15:54
I think 7. No one knows anything but the choices for top 5 are the five $300M+ films with maybe two possible spoilers. Mar 13, 15:55
007 {nm} Mar 13, 16:04
7 - More differentiation in the scoring {nm} Mar 13, 16:07
April is still not the movie summer season so zero {nm} Mar 13, 17:37
Climate change, bud. {nm} Mar 13, 17:46
The release slate is flat then {nm} Mar 13, 17:55
what i'm sayin! {nm} Mar 13, 19:43
I can't remember, but wasn't everyone okay with Winter Pick 5 starting in November?...and if you're worried that... Mar 13, 22:41
That's really a Holiday Pick 5 though, to cover the movies that make money over Thanksgiving and the Christmas-New Year period. Mar 14, 07:41
I meant the Hollywood definition of the Holiday/Winter blockbuster releases. {nm} Mar 14, 10:04
Bipartisanship > polarization. 6. {nm} Mar 14, 00:01
BTW since you're including AVNG4 from a week before May, why not include IT2 from a week after August? {nm} Mar 14, 04:24
When would the contest end then? {nm} Mar 14, 08:52
Hmm. Didn't think about waiting for IT2 to finish its run... Never mind then :) {nm} Mar 14, 08:58
I'm drawing the line at AVNG4 or I'm taking my ball and going home...lol {nm} Mar 14, 09:00
