I don't think it's that far back. They don't look any younger than the 2017 stuff, and we know that Frank was a part of P.R.I.D.E. before his memory was messed with, so it's got to be after 2001, when P.R.I.D.E. began. It's a very hard thing to guess because it could fall anywhere in like the last 10, even 15 years. Since it has to be somewhere between early 2009 and late 2017 the only guess I can make is the middle - mid-2009. But I don't really know what else I could suggest.

The past dates for Runaways are something I'll be getting to soon. But we decided that because of Nico's age in the flashbacks, the "15 years ago" stuff has to be considered rounding, stretched to 16 calendar years (Nico does say that they've been taking Runaways "over 15 years", which helps). Nico is in the same school year as the others, who are said by Geoffrey to be at least mostly "17", Molly says she's 3 years younger than the other 5 and Allegra Acosta said Molly is 14, and Chase says in December 2017 that he'll be leaving for college in a year and mentions their college applications. They're seniors, age 17 in December 2017, meaning the latest Nico could possibly have been born is August 2000.

So, the approximation until I've done the exact calculations is:
 * c. October 1992 - "25 years ago". While the sunset over Mauna Kea at 18:41 would suggest around August, background dialogue implies Reservoir Dogs has just come out.
 * c. December 1998 - Amy is born. "16" when she died in December 2015 (nearly 17, continuing the actress was in her 30s and considering Amy's age in the flashback where she's a toddler compared with Nico's age).
 * c. October 1999 - "Eighteen years ago".
 * c. Spring 2000 - The approximate date of birth of most of the Runaways.
 * c. August 2000 - Nico is born.
 * c. January-February 2001 - "Fifteen years ago" Jonah gives the Wilders the house. "Fifteen years ago" The first ceremony with Brooks Watten. "Fifteen years ago" Jonah visits the Minorus after the ceremony, rounded a bit because it has to be 16 calendar years. Amy is 2.15ish, Nico is 4.1-5.1 months old. Considering that they are said to happen annually at the same time, with the 15th being December 2017, ideally the first ceremony would have been December 2003, but if it's around January 2001, we need to do some catch-up over the next couple.
 * December 2003 - The second ceremony. Should be December 2004, but also only about a year after the first one would give January 2002. Two thirds of the way caught up would give December 2003.
 * December 2005 - The third ceremony. December 2005. Back on track, every December.
