Program for sorting DOWNLOADED movies/games?
I used to use Plex until I found Emby. I find Emby easier to use and it does the same thing. Just putting this here as a fourth option for OP. :)

Ask HN: What is your streaming setup like?
I use https://emby.media along with private trackers and Usenet.

Just checking: Plex is still the best option right?
You can find it here! I have both installed, but I generally keep EMBY turned off until I want to play around with it. You can have both running at once and both accessing the same folders. You can check it out for free.

Yo Ho, Yo Ho, a pirates life for me!! Recent streaming services, prices and shows getting butchered, finally decided its time. Here's how a basic self-hosted 'Netflix' would look like. Fully automated once its setup. Using only a makeshift homelab server from second hand parts.
Emby: Offers premium features with some behind a membership.

media server, bring old days and share with friends
I went with Emby, personally. Plex, Jellyfin, etc are all good choices too! :)
-
Jellyfin (open source Plex) moves from Reddit to its own traditional-style MyBB forum
For clarity: Emby is still mostly open source (the source code is right here: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby). Emby started incorporating closed source plugins that you only get with the paid version of Emby in order to try and get revenue.
- Multiple people on the same account at once?

Setting up a home media PC to stream to TV
I used Plex until I found Emby, which is far easier to set up and works very well with all my media.

Is there anything for planning box office openings of movies?
Well you could look at overseer. Its bot exactly you want but It shows release dates and upcoming movies so maybe semi-solution.

I made a Dockerized NodeJS app to tag items in Plex with Overseerr requester name, and tag items in Radarr/Sonarr when seen by the requester (to help with pruning). More to come, let me know what you think!
Wow, earlier today I was annoyed by this lack of function and actually commented on a request to add this natively to Overseerr. Unfortunately this has been denied by the developers without reasoning. (https://github.com/sct/overseerr/issues/1964)
