It is gonna be close, IMO.

While I would normally agree, this is the shit summer of shit legs, so who knows :/

Apart from Godzilla, the legs haven't been that bad.

Pffft.You think that's a lot of rewrites? If that's it, that's honestly NOT a lot of tinkering.

 

 

More writers involved than X3 or TASM2. And neither of those were by "writer/directors".

OK, more than X3 but the same amount as TASM2.

There are 4 people who received official credit for working on TASM2's script but I promise you more than 4 people had their hand at it

Considering they filmed 2 different movies going by the stuff in trailers, maybe 8 writers?

I hate you too, CJohn.

What? Are Orci and Kurtzman like a studio? They have a staff of writers then take all the credit?

 

And you don't think more than 4 had their hand at FF? That works both ways...

Seriously, though, I don't see how it can miss hitting 100m on Monday.

That sounds totally awesome. Now that they have separated from each other, each one has a studio now.

The Sat number may go down. To 29M or something. We don't know. It may have a bigger than expected drop on Monday. Wolverine dropped 61% last Summer.

It's like when the church split up. That way they can spread their brand of hokiness all over the world.

I'm aware of the WGA's inane set of rules. All to save on the cost of credit text I guess.

My favorite bit is still this

Fewer names and fewer types of credit enhance the value of all credits and the dignity of all writers.

All the minor rewrites going uncredited saves K/O's dignity, I guess
