How it works

From draft night to closing credits.

One commissioner sets the season. Everyone else just shows up. Here's the arc.

01

Create or join a league.

The commissioner picks a season window and curates a pool of upcoming releases. Everyone else taps an invite link and they're in - no roster work, no spreadsheet.

  • Pick from real TMDB releases, filtered by date and genre
  • Set a per-manager budget and roster cap
  • Invite friends with a single shareable link

Crown the winner.

When the season window closes, the final standings lock and the winner takes home the only thing that matters: bragging rights. Trophies, achievements, and a season recap to share.

  • One tap to "run it back" with the same friends next season

Why Opening Night

Built for the people you'd actually invite to draft night.

Less spreadsheet, more event. Designed end-to-end for the friend-group that already texts each other about trailers.

Real box-office data

Weekly grosses from public box-office data. No projections, no fantasy points - just what happened.

Private to your group

Leagues are invite-only. Your friends, your slate, your shouting in the group chat.

Live auction, not a snake draft

Open bidding with anti-snipe extensions. Trailers play in-room before bids open. It actually feels like draft night.

More than just draft night

Standings move when films open. Push notifications for milestones, weekly recaps for the long game.

Curated pools, fast setup

Commissioner picks the movie pool in a guided wizard. Players join in under a minute via a single invite link.

Free to play

No ads, no upsell to "Pro." Just the game.
