2011 Spec Market Scorecard as of December 9

Its year-end list making time and were itching to make our Top 5 Sellers and Top 5 Buyers lists. But heres the thing: Last year, half a dozen scripts sold in the week following the release of the Black List, and we think the same thing is going to happen this year. The 2011 Black List came out just a few days ago, and by our count 14 screenplays on the list are still available. So since the #1 slots among sellers and buyers are set but the races for #s 2 and 3 are still up for grabs, were reigning ourselves in for a couple more weeks. Here are a few of our favorite items from the below grids; well do a proper 2011 year-end review once the year actually ends. Even if no additional specs sell this year, 2011s total number of sales (115 by our count, all-in) damn near doubled 2010s total (62). Anyone whos been saying The spec market is dead! this year hasnt been paying attention. The studios, led by the ever-dominant Warner Bros., have bought 62 specs so far this year, also damn near double last years total (34). CAA is poised to be the number one seller for the third year in a row.

Happy holidays, everyone. Keep an eye on your inboxes during the break - well publish our December roundup on the 30th as usual. 2011 Overall Spec Numbers (through Dec 9): The below grid shows sales of scripts in the month they originally went out. In addition to the below, there have been 12 sales of scripts so far this year that originally went out prior to 2011.
