Fantasy Sports Extend to Hollywood Movies

ESPN's most famous fantasy football analyst is now extending his knowledge to the big screen

Most people know Matthew Berry as ESPN's Senior Fantasy Analyst. Before becoming the talented "Mr.Roto", Berry actually worked as production assistant and screen writer in Hollywood. Some of his works include the Razzie nominated film Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles. Berry has now combined his former work with films and his current profession of fantasy sports into one website. http://fantasymovieleague.com/ The site gives users $1000 (fake money) that they can spend on eight films scoring points on how well the movies perform at the box office. An algorithm determines how much each film "costs" based on the real life number of screens it's showing at, how much it's expected to gross, how many weeks it's been out along with other factors. The new site also includes prizes for winners who perform the best. Each week users get a certain number of "Golden Tickets" which are entries into contests to win Fandango gift cards. Berry's site is not yet a cash game similar to DraftKings or FanDuel.. Daily Fantasy Sports sites are now valued as a $330 million dollar industry.
