Give an email or twitter reminder before theaters are locked down for the weekend.
It seems like a few people forgot to make choices over Thanksgiving weekend (including me). An email or reminder over twitter (like "An hour left until weekend picks are finalized!" over twitter or "Finalize your picks before 5pm today" over email) would be really useful.

average points per week
it would be nice to see a theater's average points per week. maybe it could include the number of weeks with 0 points meaning non-participation.

provide private message capability to theater owners
it would be nice to be able to send private messages to theater owners of your group so you can collaborate without everyone knowing your strategy by posting it on the group comment wall. this could also be to just be able to send private messages to theater owners in general for various reasons and purposes.

Be able to see a film's history of previous weeks. Also important with the bonus challenge
I'd like to see how a film has been doing over several weeks to predict the upcoming weekend. The same applies to the bonus challenge. This would give the game a bit more scope.

Confirmation Prompt on immediate point draining actions.
You should get a confirmation prompt on the "buy a new theater" or any other item in the store to hinder accidental purchases [Such as the one I made today].

Show a breakdown of exactly where all your points came from for the week
On each person's profile page under "theater stats" it would be great if you could see exactly where your points came from to make up your week's gain or loss. For example, From Screens: +128, From Challenge: -200, From Bonus Challenge: +15, From Three Screen Deduction: -25, Other: +0.

Be able to choose your challenge wager between a few choices, like 25, 50 or 100...
I figure that not everyone wants to risk so many points for a challenge, but they are still fun. Being able to select between a few set numbers would be nice.

have seasons, like in fantasy football so people trailing behind will continue to play.
My work group plays and the people that forget just one week fall behind and can't catch up. Please implement seasons: Summer Blockbuster, Winter Oscar movies, January Dump Month and have the points reset after every season to keep people playing. Because more than a few people in the group don't find it worth it to keep playing if they can never catch up.

group vs. group challenges
How come a group leader can't challenge another group leader to a group vs. group challenge? seems like a logical extension of the process to me.

This was originally coded into the groups feature (you may have even seen some proof of it lying around), but we took it out because we couldn’t decide on how to punish the losing group.
Would all group members lose points? Or only those who competed? or only those who wanted to be part of it?
The very concept of a group has still yet to be realized — is it to compete as a team or against each other? We’re still watching and seeing what most people use groups for before moving forward with this.

Give a weeks notice before rule changes
As FlickPicks develops, there will naturally be rule changes. It would be nice to have at least a week's notice of new rules before they go into effect. Maybe an email could be send out or there could be a special headline on the front page. Obvioously, knowing what the rules affect how you play the game and program each weekend.

allow allocation of a 'babysitter' from your own group, if you are going to be away without access.
Lets say you know you are going to be away on holiday with no web access, obviously you dont want to miss your screen picks. Would be good if you could allocate a trusted group member to complete it for you. Would further finalise the concept of being in a group also.

Provide an option to allow all Group members to invite people to the group.
The new feature is awesome, but only group owners can invite. Please create an option for the Group Owner to allow all members the ability to invite people to the game, and our group.

display the bonus results please!
Sometimes I forget what I put or just want to know what WAS right without so much effort. It would be nice to see what the previous week's bonus question and answer was. Thanks.

Give a way to see if a competing theater has screens selected before th deadline.
I have a friend in my group who is forgetful. Id like to see if he has selected his movies, so i can remind him. I don't want to see what he picked. Just that he has picked.

show the max points one could make for a that week.
after a week is don't you see the number of points. It would be nice to be able to see the max number of points you could have scored, without haveing to do the math yourself. maybe even add a with 3 screen buyin max points listed in a ().
fx.
your score for the week: 93
max for the week: 98
max with 3screen buyin: 103different why to so it:
93 / 98 (103)

Add more options in the Store
Would like to see more options in the Store, to add to the 3 screen option already there. For example, use points to buy a celeb invite (increase sales somehow?) Or buy an IMAX/3d screen (again increase money brought in from screens)
