A Film Nerds Fantasy
I loved the idea of fantasy football but as someone who wasn’t so into sports it never was something to get super into. Suddenly, I come across Fantasy Box Office. It combines the love for cinema with the fun and gamesmanship of a fantasy league. Even if you’re not a total film nerd we’ve all heard about a movie bombing or flopping and this game incorporates that as well if you can guess which movie will bomb, which will negatively affect your opponent’s score. The app/game is the kind of thing that seems so obvious of a great idea in retrospect.
The developer cares a lot and has been diligently updating the game for everything including to incorporate better ability to find a league if your friends aren’t interested.
If you are the kind of movie nerd who uses Letterboxd this is a must try. A pro tip for flexibility with the draft is to set the timer to like 12 hours so that you don’t have to all find the perfect time to meet up.

Fantastic Game
I am obsessed with Fantasy Box Office. I have three different leagues going and I’ve convinced other friends to start their own. It’s fun and easy to play.
Higher player count
Not all of my friends can play
Response from developer
Sorry about that! It’s true that we currently have a 5 player limit per league because of game rules. We have some plans to increase that for next year, but in the meantime we suggest forming multiple leagues and comparing results across both.
FBO Fun
This is a fun way to play a fantasy game & the creator is consistently updating the app to improve performance & playability. It’s a slow grind but it’s fascinating to watch!
Fun with friends
Me and my mates get so much conversation out of films because of this app. It’s been a great addition to my 2026!
Highly recommend giving it a go, it’s very low maintenance but as films are coming out all the time there’s always something new to keep your eye on.
And if the app creators are reading this, THANK YOU! It’s a great idea and you deserve all the success.
