Can Shia play Peter Parker in the next Spidey reboot?

[Hatebox]

But let's face it, the age of blockbusters is over

 

Unfortunately the age of adult-oriented, mid-budget films is over. The less risky the environment, the more blockbusters we get.

if i were in charge of decision like this I'd probably be at least trying to pull idgaf fudging every weekend. to the point where all the other studios are just all "haha, oh that crazy coolio. what's he like?"

[MrPink]

You gotta have faith, darkelf. Not in what these movies are, but in what Ninja Turtles can be

 

You know there's a rule about messing with blockbusters from Texas.

[Dementeleus]

so now the other studios are crying because they claim it was less than what paramount said it was. Shame on the other studios. Every single one of them has lied about their numbers at one point or another. Go cry me a f****** River. This is awesome and I love it. As I mentioned in the estimates thread I asked Mario Kassar about this exact thing on Facebook and he replied to me that all studios fudge their numbers within a couple of million and it happens all the time and it's really nothing to worry about. So if Mario Kassar super producer says that the rest of the studios should just shut the f*** up.

 

It's not that it was fudged. It's that it was fudged by a fairly large margin. I mean, in the grand scheme of things, who cares, right? 

 

But still, ELL-OH-ELL

[darkelf]

LOL, movies make money, big money, duh. But they don't make lines around the block anymore. That's the point. We need a new name for them

Are you giving us a preview of what you're planning after you're done with Box Office Knight?

Summertime yes.  But during the fall/awards season we'll still get those films. Think of things like American Hustle, Silver Linings Playbook, Saving Mr. Banks

i agree lol. to some people here too. if fudging pisses you off you probably shouldn't be following box office.

[grim22]

You called?

We enjoy following box office trends and when one studio goes out of its way to blatantly lie it makes it less fun to follow.

[mattmav45]

Fudged as Fuck Monday.

 

Nothing more, nothing less.

 

I will say it's fitting that it comes from the Transformers saga.  LMAO @ how trash of all kind is associated with the series.

[darkelf]

I'll remember you said what when Mockingjay opens, then Age of Ultron and, oh, of course SW:ep.7. Those are just short term.

 

No, the blockbluster still lives and will live on as long as demand=quality

 

Just for the record, you don't have to remember anything, all those movies will obviously make a buttload of money, as will many more I feel like an idiot saying obvious things

[Mango]

It's 99 degrees today. If my town was run by Paramount it would say 100.

 

Also it's fucking hot.

ninja turtles opens...

 

 

I think we just found a blockbustah.

[Caboose]

Was Marky Mark the most Bostonian native of Texas ever, I wonder.

Yes. By far.

 

In fact, our main headquarters (company) is in Boston and the people who come down for meetings and such to Houston sound less Bostonian than Mark Wahlberg

[grey ghost]

Well Paramount wanted headlines..."Paramount lies to the world with phony OW number!"
