Wknd "Paramount Actuals": TF4 -100.04M | RTH Favorite Radio Station - 97.5 FM [Actuals pg 11]

[#ED]

RTH, there appears to be some confusion with the China numbers...What's the weekend Actual/Monday estimate?

Under Transformers 3 as well.

 

Holy fucking shit.

[redfirebird2008]

That's nuts. This outdoes the 200m Puerto Rico affair for sheer audacity.

 

From a percentage standpoint it's a lot bigger part of the gross than TF2's Puerto Rico piece. But in terms of box office history, I think it was slightly more offensive to fudge a $200m five day gross than to fudge a $100m weekend gross. There are only 3 movies to legitimately make $200m in 5 days, whereas there are over 25 movies with $100m weekends.

Pointless fudge really like the Tf2 fudge.No point to it

Under Transformers 3 as well. Gotta love it.

 

 

Under all TF films adjusted midweek three day openings...

[Empire]

Funny thing is, we all want some fudge right now...

Yeah, this fudging is making me hungry for some fudge. 

[Samarus]

I feel so "enlightenedl" for knowing "the truth".

Joining this forum was one of the best decisions in my life. a wise decision.

Difference is that 100 million was the bar for tf4 but the 200 or so for tf2 was well beyond any expectations Edited June 30, 2014 by Lordmandeep

The difference is, this time we know they fudged it, because we have actual reports from Rentrak. I don't think we had that back then did we(Maybe I forgot)?

You're not the pregnant one. You shouldn't be the one getting those cravings.

Shut up, I'm on a diet!

[Kalderic]

I've been out for awhile, and just couldn't help but come back for this... holy shit. I can't believe they actually did this. lol just too hilarious! So if I am not mistaken, the "actual" number was around 98M, correct? If so, how could you even fudge that much and where would the money come from exactly?

[BoxOfficeZ]

Maybe they didn't want the China OW to beat the US either? And get the 100m crown while at it?

Last time was arguably worse, as Tele pointed out. Paramount had already reported actuals (TO THE DOLLAR) up to a certain point, and then fudged the shit out of them on Monday when they realized the Sunday projection was way too optimistic.

Which one RTH?

No, his wife wants a peanut butter fudge bar, dipped in pickle juice.

[darkelf]

Who listens to radio anymore?

[RthDeadWov]

But seriously, am I the only one who thinks it's possible that Warner Bros. fudged TDKR OW over TDK OW?

Actually no they didn't TDKR def above TDK
