Fudging happens all the time.

Fuck u Terminator Salvation

There seems to be no archives for the BOM forums strangely enough. Would have been interesting to see the threads from pre-2012 with the benefit of hindsight, especially Avatar's run.

Created, you can post your review there now. 

Thank You

Since I didn't see a review thread for Dope I will just post my review here.

As I was watching Dope in a almost empty theater, it sadden me that the majority of film goers will probably not be seeing this film because its a very well made film that deserves to be watched. Its really funny, good acting especially from Shameik Moore, a fantastic soundtrack, and just a good time. If you get the chance, go see this movie.

 

Yeah, this film really got screwed by the studio when they selected its date. This should have been out around February or September, not June.

[AndyLL]

Which means every double-feature is fudged for both movies on the bill. So with that reasoning, why is any one movie getting singled out by us for being "fudged"?

 

The term 'fudged' is getting thrown around way too much lately.

 

Studios books are audited and they all follow standard accepted accounting procedures in reporting their numbers.

 

The idea that they just move money around to make certain movies look good is laughable.

[Lordmandeep]

The reaction I hear  from this movie from friend and family is.

 

"cool actor, cool action, dino vs trex, hot girl, no bs " 

 

 

Pretty much is a well made 90s blockbuster.

It's important to note that "fudging" does happen on occasion, though.

I think Inside Out should be good for low 50s this weekend. I can sumise this scenario:

16

21

16

53m weekend.

Problem is since it will be under $10 million on Thursday the biggest past Friday increases in late June for Pixar films wouldn't get it to $16 million on Friday.

[Frozen]

Why did Universal stop tracking Furious 7 so soon?

[The Futurist]

Because when you start counting money in billions, thousands of dollars mean shit.

I'm not sure why it would be. It would need a big drop today to miss $10m on Thursday.

I was there for Avatar's run. I predicted 240m Most had it in the 200's and the absolute maximum I saw was 340m and that was considered loonie. Two users did nail avatar though: Kal and BJ. The latter predicted 750m.

Avatar was the most fun I've ever had on the forums. We had users who hadn't been on in 5 years come back to witness the run as well as a ton of new people. Every daily thread had 20+ pages of responses and each and every day (no I'm not exaggerating) Avatar beat even the most bullish predictions for that day. It's holds were sensational and we still even after the first 2 weekends didn't have it above 450m.

It was a beast that will not be touched for a very long time at the box office. I think my Favorite part is one user found an old post of what the next titanic would be and the factors that needed to happen. His username started with an "o". He absolutely nailed every single factor in Avatars run 6 years before it released. I wish I could remember his name as he should go down as one of the best prognosticators in box office history.

Ah the memories.

It's all gone unfortunately.

[The Futurist]

It's all gone unfortunately.

 

Imagine following the Titanic run on a forum ... it just wouldn t let go ... for months ...

One can only get a slight taste of the fun those who followed Avatar's run had, from KJ's Avatar thread.

Those were the Mojo days... pretty crazy and wild, although the forum software wasn't nearly as nice.

[Bonenash]

rth is coming soon isn't it?

[JJ-8]

ah those were the days...

 

I can remember posting weekly reviews on it's how it progressed back in the australia box office... it was even more crazy here than the US to be honest.

 

 

for example in australia, Avatanic... pushed all the way to 115m in AUD.  That at the time was a mere 5 to 10m short of the adjusted total of Titanic (taking 3D into account).  Using the normal conversion rule this is equilalent of a film making 1.1B at the US domestic box office!  You think it will take a while for a film to pass the US #1 record of only 750m.  At least you will have 2 films > 600m other than avatar.  so it's not completely out of reach ...

 

In australia our top 5 looks like as follows:

 

1. Avatar 115m

2. Titanic 57m (63m if you include the re-release)

3. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 - 53m

4. The Avengers - 52m

5. Shrek 2 - 50m

Reading that thread made me realize what a monster Titanic was. The daily comparisons are ridiculous, when Avatar broke 600M, Titanic had only done 300M at that point. It earned more than half its gross after its 7th weekend in release.
