Re: The End of an Era? BOM goes gone girl Libs wrote: So... Is this happening, like, for real? The last few weeks of Box Office Mojo have been a DISASTER. This weekend chart has so many mistakes, on top of the craptacular weekend box office summary they posted, in addition to the fact that they took like 2 DAYS to upload the chart in the first place: http://www.boxofficemojo.com/weekend/ch ... =21&p=.htmWhew nice rebound for Age of Adaline.

Re: The End of an Era? BOM goes gone girl I go to BOT for the family feel (I 'grew up' with those guys) and come here for the insights. Another thing WOKJ has over BOT is the level of pretentiousness. Reading the thread comments....goodness gracious. You have to realize these articles are for mass consumption. If Ray Subers was a forum goer he would probably run circles around most of us.

Despite those, there are a lot of trolls, sexists, misogynists, misanthropists, racists, chauvinists etc. At least here, what you see is what you get. There, it's a bunch of pansies covering each other's arses.

Re: The End of an Era? BOM goes gone girl No thinking? I think you're confused. You could've said "no googling".
Titanic, Avatar, Shrek 2, Dark Knight, Dark Knight Rises, Avengers, Phantom Menace, etc etc etc

Re: The End of an Era? BOM goes gone girl Though if you said "how many movies have grossed $400+ mil" I would have not guess anywhere near 20.

Titanic, Avatar, Shrek 2, Dark Knight, Dark Knight Rises, Avengers, Phantom Menace, etc etc etc Good job Chippy!! You're right, I should have said no googling. But seriously, I'm proud of you. I truly believe you fired off that list from the top of your head. Good job again sir.

Re: The End of an Era? BOM goes gone girl Excel wrote: lilmac wrote: I want you to type the answers right away... no thinking! Name 5 films which have made over $400 million Excel - this is a tough one but I want you to try without...googling. What films exceeded Titanic in attendance during their first run (absent re-runs)? This is big-boy box-office trivia now so if you need some time I understand. Don't go to BOM though. Honor code.

Re: The End of an Era? BOM goes gone girl ooo, that's a good one. I doubt Ray Subers knows that one.

Re: The End of an Era? BOM goes gone girl It's funny that they are showing Monday actuals but no 4-day actuals. It's as if they completely forgot this is a holiday weekend, which they had always shown data for both 3-day and 4-day.

Re: The End of an Era? BOM goes gone girl Simpleton is a mug of epic proportions.
After two completely amateur weekend wraps complete with no editing, insight or expertise, now he doesn't even know it's a 4 day weekend? This might be the third or fourth but I gave up- even the most naive and newest member here could have written something better.
Plus Age of Adaline's inane weekend estimate remains $15m and therefore was overestimated by $13m. I'm pretty sure that they do some of these manually otherwise I'm not sure how such mistakes could be made and overlooked.
The guy is a wanker. Stealing a living.
