I'd like to see Shawn interviewed on Between Two Ferns.

That's true, but we have to see it from the point of view of people that don't follow box office every day like us (which is pretty much everyone--even the majority of people in the industry).

 

Releasing $35.5m as the Friday estimate ensured a reported number that would be rounded up to $36m (while still technically being over the OD of TASM1 and IM1). When most people in the media see that, they don't research every detail of it like we would--they just see that it had bigger opening day than X film, and that's what they write in the news. That's what Sony wants/wanted.

 

Studios know how to manipulate the general media to a certain point, and that includes feeding the necessary information to get the results they want.

Your posts feel so empty now without that Zach G. avatar to complete it.

This actually sounds like an interesting idea

Heh. I think it's time to retire Zach. He's been my avatar for almost five years now. I don't want to sully his good name any further.

[Captain Craig]

Fine for Shawn but I'm holding onto my longstanding avatar!!

It may not be as iconic....but it's mine!

You're going down a path I can't follow!

There's going to be a movie with Cap, Thor, Iron Man and Hulk....together again

I'm hoping we get something like Ghosts of Girlfriend's Past 2 as counterprogramming.
