Wolverine tops box office not despite of, but because of the leaked copy

[admin]

So despite having the second biggest opening in the X-Men series, and the biggest for a non-memorial day release in the franchise, the industry seriously believes that the leaked copy that hit P2P networks one month ago could have cost the movie $20 million? What absolute rubbish.

I, for one, saw it in theaters last night.

So they can't complain about me not giving them money for it. It was a pretty good movie, too. But I agree - I was personally hoping the movie would do well (Which it did), as that way FOX would be forced to accept the fact that piracy does not, and will likely never, hurt the movie industry.
Of course, they'll likely spin the story and say something like "Oh well we were expecting $100 million in the opening weekend, and look what happened"

Funny,

I know a few people that saw it last month (The leaked copy)

All I seemed to hear is they could not wait to see it on the big screen. It was almost like a long trailer for them.

Although they said the leaked copy was close, there was more in the actual release that was worth seeing.

I think this might be 1 case where the squeaky wheel doesn't get the oil. I mean they keep crying and raising the ticket prices and people still go. I still go and it's up to $13.00 here in Apple. Gotta have a social life w/some rec time. There's nothing like the big screen. I was going to hit it Friday, but a cold hit me instead.

90 degrees 1 day and about 50 or so the next. Now we're drowning a lil.

Thankfully, the Entertainment Book has a coupon that lets you get any movie ticket at AMC Theaters for only $7.50.

You might wanna check that out.

But yeah - I know that leaked copy has some funny and unfinished effects... and I think for most people it would just make them want to see it even more.

And a ton of people said it wasn't a very good movie, but yet look at how much money it made. FOX wouldn't have made any more, even if it was never leaked.
