Hello, movie fans! Welcome to FantasyMoguls.com, where you can play fantasy games for movies. Think you can do a better job of picking hit movies than the studios?  Now's your chance to prove it. It works like fantasy football or baseball, except you draft movies instead of sports players.

FantasyMoguls.com's resident analyst Steve Mason has made projections for box office take and the other Ultimate Moguls categories for eligible movies through the end of Sept.  See how they stack up and set up your draft order accordingly!

The famed screenwriter William Goldman (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The Princess Bride) once wrote about Hollywood, "Nobody knows anything."

Truer words never spoken.

On the surface, the game seems simple enough. Pick the best films, win the game. But how, oh how are we supposed to figure out which films will be the best, Tom?

On the website, we currently offer each studio the ability to add any un-owned film which has yet to open in the theaters on a first come-first served basis. (Although no studio may have more than six films on their slate at one time so in order to add a film, you must drop one first.)

However, there is an alternative that you can do if you want. It involves a budget and bidding on unowned movies. The benefit is that every studio gets a shot at every free agent movie. The down side is it does not reward those who are quickest to the website. There is strategy involved with the bidding and nominating process which adds to complexity of the game, but it is more involved and you need to have a commish that is on the ball.

Welcome to the Fantasy Moguls.com Draft Kit! I am your host, Mr. Roark.

And while I do not have the pleasure of Herve Villechaize's company or nearly enough rich, Corinthian leather, let me be the first to extend a warm hand and wry smile as you embark on a journey that may seem familiar, but exists in a slightly alternate universe.

FantasyMoguls.com is a fantasy league...for movies. Like Fantasy Football or Rotisserie Baseball, FantasyMoguls.com allows you to become a, er, mogul, and run your own Hollywood Movie Studio.

As you prepare for your first ever Fantasy Moguls Draft, I thought I would take this opportunity to let you know that there are certain things you can surmise about how a film will perform, even if the only thing you know is its release date.

This is a relatively new concept. The studios discovered that a certain genre of film, released on a particular weekend can reap hefty box office returns. Sure, the studios have always released the largest number of films (and their biggest offerings) in the "Summer" or "Holiday" period, but over the last decade or so, through trial and error, studios are 'finding an audience' where they did not know one previously existed.
