Why are you guys quoting an empty post?

JLaw was hardly a household name when THG blew-up. In fact, I'd be willing to bet that 50% of the people who showed up on THG's opening weekend didn't even know who JLaw was at that time.

I am guessing after OW was were her talents boosted the movies boxoffice.

That was some technical issue, I guess. Quite strange! I can't get the rest of the quote, only those topics.

Probably but I am not a big believer in star power affecting the box office of blockbuster movies too much. Star power is important for mid-budget movies. This is why actors like Tom Cruise, Denzel, Sandler etc. can command $20 million salaries.

Will Smith says hi.

I don't know how to keep those quotes there.

Will Smith says hi.

 

Will Smith is notorious for picking only movies that will be big hits without him. A younger Will Smith would've never done "After Earth" because a younger Will Smith didn't have a 13-14 year old son.

It looks like, Will's coming back for ID4 sequel!

No, he agreed with Gitesh about low 60s.

Earlier in the day I didn't post on here revised one later

So, the winner is still Scream 2.

Below from previous post.. It was a case of revised actual reduced from 39/2 to 32.9

Thats because it was Scream 2 it was worse than just estimate it was reported actual  opening weekend at 39.2m it was about 3-4 days later (From memory Friday of the next weekend ) that a correction was made and reduced the number to 32.9, at the time you should have heard the uproar about it.

Just waking up in the morning, gotta thank God

I don't know but today seems kinda odd

Hunger Games didn't break TDKR or TDK

I gotta say it was a good day

[Batman]

 

Yeah Scream 2 it was like week later or close to that from memory they revised number, so they issued an actual then revised it.It wasn't a case of revised estimate to actual 

 

Also Fox's attempt to beat that record was quite brave!

Question.

 

How exactly does number fudging work? This is the first weekend I've even heard of such a thing. Someone earlier mentioned they might've just "taken" a million or so from Ender's Game to make CF look bigger. What exactly does that mean? Do they just underestimate EG by a mill and overestimate CG by a mill? Or do they just pull believable numbers out of their ass and call it a day? I think I'm thinking too far into it.

Go home LG, you are drunk

 

I was thinking LG was a poster here goofing around. It took me a while to figure it out.

I have no proof of course, but the suspicion is they take money from another movie to get it over milestone number or to give it a nice round number.  However, they usually take from another movie that makes money and not one that is flopping, lol.

Rth must be reading all 307 pages here!

He's a brave god, to make it through all those GIFs and the gigantic thread-derail of Sunday Night Football.

I see. But don't actuals come from the studio as well? If so, wouldn't it mean that any number they give us should be taken with a grain of salt?

I guess you can look at it that way.
