THE GUIDE
FlickPickd is fantasy sports for movies. Draft real upcoming films, score points based on how they perform at the box office and with critics, and beat your league.
Get an invite link from a friend or start your own league as commissioner. Free leagues support up to 8 teams. Pro leagues unlock battle bonuses, watched bonuses, and more.
When draft day arrives, teams take turns picking real upcoming theatrical releases in a snake draft. The order reverses each round. You have 60 seconds per pick. Miss your slot and the most-wanted available film gets auto-drafted for you.
Tip: scope out the Film Guide before the draft starts so you know what you want.
Points are calculated automatically once a film releases. The formula is simple:
A blockbuster with great reviews scores huge. A bomb with bad reviews scores nothing. Both matter.
Check your league's standings tab any time to see where you rank. You'll also get a weekly email every Monday with the current leaderboard and your position.
Pro leagues run monthly and quarterly battles. Whoever scores the most points from films releasing in that window wins a bonus added to their total. There's also a watched bonus: the more films you log as watched, the more extra points you earn.
These bonuses stack on top of base points and can completely flip the standings late in the season.
