AniNate Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 WB won't report numbers? Really? What good will that do?Protect their reputation. If they gloated about numbers in the press right now everyone else would likely see it as a gross disregard for human loss in favor of profits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adm56 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I don't think so. They were in a corner, and its the least offensive option. Right call IMO, else they get bad press. Not like they won't leak info if they want information to get out.You can't expect them to crow about box office profits when people died. Same reason why Obama and Mitt took a day off today.

rockNrollaDIM Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 WB won't report numbers? Really? What good will that do?I think it's a good decision.. it would be in poor taste to be boasting about record breaking profits after all this.. The word will get out either way.

AniNate Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Even if it's not record breaking there would still be a feeling that they care more about the money than the life that's been taken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sims Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Stupid decision from WB. I understand not wanting to brag or whatever, but I don't think the victim's families really give a flying fuck if they report them or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Can't they release the numbers without commenting on them?They can, but they can't prevent anyone who gets hold of the numbers from putting their own sensationalistic headline on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riczhang Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Can't they release the numbers without commenting on them?Yes but BO matter how it does it will still be a huge amount of cash, and they want to keep the so called "blood money" figure hidden for as long as they can while the mood dies down in the rest of the country.

superduperm Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Can we expect another update by Nikki in the next hour or two? Or is WB locking up the BO info until Monday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sims Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 They can, but they can't prevent anyone who gets hold of the numbers from putting their own sensationalistic headline on it.Except I don't really think too many news outlets would be putting a positive spin on any numbers for the movie. Doesn't make much sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think about it but you're right that this could be seen as "blood money" in some way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancer1997 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Can we expect another update by Nikki in the next hour or two?

Adm56 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 What's your deal? Strong negativity from you...very hateful towards TDKR. Am I missing backstory here?No backstory. Loved TDK....liked BB...found TDKR to be very lazy and underwhelming. A bit shocked by a lot of the 'best movie evar!' that's getting laid on thick around here regarding it. No one requires my presence as a counter to all that sunshine pumping but I think I'll hang out for awhile just the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmpro Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 So ticket sales are even to TA this weekend with TA winning in gross.Im very happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theStun Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 So I just got back from my second viewing of the film and it honestly does get better the second time around. At the theatre I went too they really beefed up security they had two cops at the end of each hallway and a cop car sitting out front with two security cars constanty circling the theatre. Attendance wise the showing sold out and was packed to the brink.I over heard a few people mention scenario type instances like what if and what would you do, but other then that everyone seemed to really enjoy the movie and it got alot of applause which I wasnt expecting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
