115. The first half of the year won't quite keep pace with 2011, but as the economy recovers, more sales will happen in Q3 and Q4. If I am wrong I will never trust my Magic 8 Ball again.
Sean Cameron at 2011-12-26 18:33:20:
105. Just a guess. Hope I am wrong and it's more.
Brock Weaver at 2011-12-26 19:02:29:
I'm going to go ahead and say 99 - I hope I am wrong and it's more, but I have a feeling it'll back down just a bit.

130. Studios are manned by pack animals, and now the tendency is to gather scripts. Plus, the pace really started to pick up at the end of the year, and imho that'll carry over well into the new year.
mscherer at 2011-12-26 19:27:09:
Put me down for 103. My gut says 94, but I'll go with 103. Keep Writing!
Kilg at 2011-12-26 20:16:36:
82 for me, surely can't keep up this year's pace!
Ryan at 2011-12-26 20:34:56:
I'll say 94. mscherer's gut's got to be more accurate than mine. I do think that the studios will cool off a bit to analyze how the scripts they bought turn out.
David Proenza at 2011-12-26 20:46:28:
90. I think it'll start off strong, lull arouhd the summer as the studios see what is/could be/failed to be the next big tentpole franchise, and then pick up again towards the end.
Alex at 2011-12-26 21:26:19:
95.
Michael at 2011-12-26 22:13:10:
85. Of course, it would be fantastic if I'm off and the number kept doubling for a few years.
L. Fernando at 2011-12-26 22:48:54:
102 for me. Pretty much a wild guess based on the same reasons as the people above :)
Chris Roberts at 2011-12-27 00:10:51:
I think there will be 117. Start off strong, then slow due to the increased volume of acquisitions.
Judy Potocki at 2011-12-27 01:39:50:
128. A lucky number for me. Hopefully a lucky number for lots of screenwriters in 2012.
C. S. Cyr at 2011-12-27 03:04:54:
107. Won't be as many as last year but they'll try.

93. The Rotten Tomatoes score of my favorite movie this year, Midnight in Paris.
Nick West at 2011-12-27 04:30:52:
122 — Just going with my gut.
Debbie Moon at 2011-12-27 04:40:00:
I'm going for 75. Can't keep up current pace, so slow to begin with as everyone's tied up with developing current acquisitions, but picking up at the end of the year as this year's crop goes into production or turnaround (and hopefully then do well at the box office, feeding a desire for more original material).
Wallace Brown at 2011-12-27 07:34:29:
I'm going to regress and say 55-60. As 2012 (I think) will prove to be quite busy up there in the skies. Many an interruption in the creativity. Thus preventing the continuation to...FADE OUT :-)
Dave at 2011-12-27 08:28:59:
About 45-140 us my guess. Just Kidding. 70 This economic recovery fantasy should run out of steam by April. If it doesn't then oil will go to 150 dollars a barrel and the economy will crash anyway. Lose lose.
tracinell at 2011-12-27 09:05:00:
72. My inner sci-fi geek believes the answer is "42," but... ;)
Scott at 2011-12-27 09:46:45:
Wallace, if you pick a specific number, I'll add you to the list.
Jason at 2011-12-27 11:55:29:
112.
Teddy Pasternak at 2011-12-27 12:01:49:
78.
Michael at 2011-12-27 15:58:40:
89
Nick J. Scott at 2011-12-27 16:50:35:
99
John Geraci at 2011-12-28 12:41:30:
113 is the magic number.
Jonathan Crowder at 2011-12-28 13:19:54:
123 is the best guess I've got.
