DAJK Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Before TF4, I had never actually heard of studios fudging the Actuals (must have been living under a rock) have there been any other recent cases of this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmscholar Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share Posted August 8, 2014 LOL, I know right. Everyone always want to be 1st on Box Office Numbers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 When the weekend estimates come in, I'm pretty sure they'll say 50M for Turtles, while Actuals will probably be closer to 48M are you sure? this is paramount we're talking about. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you were referring to estimates. Most studios fudge those for the weekend headlines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAJK Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Wouldn't (very obviously) fudging it twice in a row really hurt their credibility? I mean obviously doing it once would still, but twice would really make people not believe them. I'm just hoping that they're going to be professional about this.Did they fudge it with Hercules? Had they, I'm pretty sure they would have pushed it over 30M, not 29.8M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, I mean does everyone want this movie to fail? Well Nikki is always snarky. And nostalgia does have a lot to do with it's success. That's definitely a factor. I'll always have a soft spot for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fancyarcher Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Into the Storm is fucking expensive for a found footage movie: 50M. The CGI storms were THAT fucking expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I'll just pull this outta my ass. Guardians wins the weekend, around $45-47 million, and Turtles comes in a VERY close second with $44-46 million. If Paramount fudges that statistic tho...

Alpha Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Hopefully Guardians has a great Thursday-Friday increase. Considering 2 Guns was able to increase 70% Thursday-Friday, I don't see why Guardians can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Key sentence: Pull this outta my ass. That was a best case scenario. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
