I'm not fed up with the number, I am fed up that Paramount thinks its okay to lie about a number because they think it matters.  So what if your movie grossed 97m instead of 100m, report the actuals.

 

When numbers say actuals I would like the actuals and not a studio lying to have a more impressive number.  Mainly if Paramount gets away with lying about a number now, other studios will try to do so in the future.  And if you are lying about your stats there's no reason to even follow them anyways.

 

Uh, this has happened many times before. Studios have done it before Paramount and will do after Paramount.

 

Everyone here must be new.

 

WHO CARES! It will beat Cap 100% anyway, it will lose to MJ 100% anyway, it changes NOTHING.

 

Plus, 97% in getting to a $97.76m gross, it still can make $100m technically so that statistic is stupid and proves nothing. It's not as if they have 99% in and it has grossed $70m.

So just to be clear, you actually think this is the first time a studio has gotten "creative" with the BO?

Maybe that's the reason they are fudging it. They didn't want the only Friday opener of the series to end up under the 3-day opening TF3, which had a Wednesday start and was coming off of the worst received film in the series.

 

That's all I got.

 

That's a pretty good theory actually. One of the other studio executives said Rentrak has it at $97.7m, which is under the $97.8m opening of TF3. Would be embarrassing to have a Friday opener fall below that number when the previous movie opened on a Wednesday.
