I really hope Paramount goes full fudge and has actuals also slightly over 100M.

 

Actuals will come in at $100,000,001.

Two fudges in one weekend.

 

Epic.

If there is such a thing as cinema as Soderbergh describes it, then Age of Extinction is a perfect distillation of anti-cinema. It posits that films no longer need a coherent plot, character development, or action scenes that have tension and stakes in order to be successful. That economic considerations no longer need to be hidden or subtle — they can be brazen and attention-grabbing. That excess in every respect (runtime, municipal destruction, manchild behavior) is not a vice, but a virtue.

What a joke. Paramount should just accept the butthurt that this couldn't manage $100m.

I ended deciding to skip Transformers 4 because I figured I wouldn't like it after everything I've heard (and sure as hell didn't need to lose $11 to drown in boredom of watching big robots fight non-stop for nearly 3 hours).

Mainstream Hollywood is dead.

Paramount is one of the biggest fudge companies. 

[John Marston]

Why are people acting like this idea of rounding up estimates is new? It has happened all the time

[Leyla]

this is truly hilarious

I have a feeling Lucas and Steven were right.  When they created The Blockbuster with "Jaws" and "Star Wars" they had no idea that model would take over the hollywood system. We are headed to a future where only the Big Blockbusters will be shown on the Big Screen and the smaller films will go direct to home pay per view.

I think I'll skip IM2 tonight. Watch something good instead.

[Jack Nevada]

It kind of is, but only because the Coens had already done so many great films prior to it. 

Sure. It's a good movie but the "it's one of their best movies" talk is just bizarre to me.

Too much fudging going around. Hollywood is starting to eat too many sweats. Would you rather have a fudged box office number, or diabetes?edit: blankments come like this.
