Bitcher Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 (edited) Because f^#k you, that's why. Yes, that's supposed to be Craig, now suck it down. Edited January 4, 2012 by Bitcher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishstick Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 LOl, that`s Craig? Lmao! Anyway, the movie failed to open which is his fault. If there`s WOM, that`s because of Maramania. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bitcher Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 (edited) Yeah I know, I just thought it was goddamn hilarious.And R rated movies do tend to have smaller decreases from weekend to weekdays. Edited January 4, 2012 by Bitcher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Craig Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 The only thing I really hate about BOM/BOT forums is the incessant need for short-cutting movie titles. I hate having to sit and wonder what "TTSS" stands for. +1It's not that many extra key strokes, especially when so many movies seem similar and then abbreviations are used on movies from 4,5,6++ years ago. This isn't a courtroom where we need to type like a stenographer.I never bothered to figure out what TTSS is still and it's probably a newer film.

Travod Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy is a little more than a few key stokes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dark Alfred Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I said all along, DT will do fine in January. 100m will happen. Same for WH. Tintin disappoints, though. MI4 has a shot of winning next weekend as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrestomanci Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 +1It's not that many extra key strokes, especially when so many movies seem similar and then abbreviations are used on movies from 4,5,6++ years ago. This isn't a courtroom where we need to type like a stenographer.I never bothered to figure out what TTSS is still and it's probably a newer film.While I agree that using abbreviations for older movies that aren't already referenced in a discussion is frustrating, I see no reason why abbreviations should not be used when the reference is clear or easily identified. This is a daily numbers thread, so clearly the abbreviation refers to a film currently in release and it isn't that difficult to look at, say, the previous weekend's chart on BOM to scan for what matches the abbreviation. If you're too lazy to do that, that's your problem. Frankly, if you can't identify a current movie in the daily numbers thread by its abbreviation, it's probably not a movie you care about anyway, so why not just ignore it.

Remember I said "I still didn't bother to look it up".I was just agreeing with another and wow did the 'grudge' parade start.Also, I guess it depends on how well and what speed you type but it's really not that hard. Better yet I've seen posters do something like Tinker/Spy for long titles.Anyway, be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fake Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Pretty nice hold for Tintin. But it is loo late now.Decent for MI4. Doesn't help its chances for 200m but doesn't hurt them either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Craig Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Almost $400m WW for MI:4 at this point.Sherlock2 though is only about $250m WW, is the worldwide rollout coming in January? I also wonder why BOM hasn't posted the budget. Didn't we see a report it was $125m? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ariadne Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I like using the abbreviations - it makes typing a lot easier - especially when you're on your phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better yet I've seen posters do something like Tinker/Spy for long titles.Anyway, be cool.Yes, I gathered that you had just ignored it initially. But then you took the effort to second the complaint. So because you don't want to "toggle and scan" just once, you want everyone else to have to use the full or almost full title of every movie every time? I'd guess at least 95% of the people on the site (and more if you narrow it down to the people who actually care) can follow the abbreviations for current release movies just fine. And sure it doesn't take too much time or effort to type up one full title once, but having to do it for every movie title in every post you write would add up pretty quickly, even if you aren't a slower typer. So I'd say the weight of inconvenience in making a few people check what an abbreviation stands for once is significantly lower than forcing everyone else on the site to type out the full title of that movie every time they need to use it.

The Dark Alfred Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 No one is talking about WBAZ, I think it's performing really well. Obviously won't match WH or GWTDT in the end, but it's right up there so far. I think TTSS should have gone wide a month before, there's not enough time to create buzz for Oldman's performance, so won't get an Oscar nom, which is shame.
