To the surprise of no oneI like fudge but not too much of it.
Oh and be prepared to see TLK doing amazing numbers week after week. I think WoM and legs will be Aladdin levels.
I hate you so much
Also Infinyty War was added 2M$ more on December 2018. I have no idea where the money comes from.
Yeah, this isn't fudging, this seems to be legitimate. The rerelease did it's job.Infinity War added $2m at the very end of the year last year long after it had left cinemas because of numbers from smaller territories finally coming in. International numbers aren't as easily tracked so weekends where extra money comes in can happen.
I mean it just says that Disney obviously fudged just to meet comic-con, but they also updated Avatar numbers...All your answers are found in the "A Primer For This Weekend" section in the OP if you want to know more about fudging.
What's odd is that it took them nearly a decade to update AVATAR but only a year to update IW. Who's tracking these international numbers?! LolAlso Infinyty War was added 2M$ more on December 2018. I have no idea where the money comes from.
Is it really La Familia without Papa Vin being there?
Yesss! Day 1 in Dolby. Got my ticket.
who?

Now that Avatar figure is just obviously rounded up and not exact numbers. Weird. Really not sure what is Disney doing here but whatever.Oh hey guys, remember when I said AVATARs total number was going to be updated once Endgame passed it? (Thanks to Charlie from BOT)
Well here it is
Apparently AVATAR was under reported for about $2m.
Jatinder made that post on Wednesday, too. So yeah, you're right.Fudging is making the headline for K.Feige to announce it past Avatar at ComicCon.
In reality, it probably do it sooner or later.

I think Disney just cashed in some chips early to get the announcement in time for Comic Con and the home release.
studios have done this in the past to have a sexy announcement at a public event.
I'm just curious why they would even bother updating Avatar at all. It's been nearly 10 years. Are these people THAT fucking terrible at accounting?Now that Avatar figure is just obviously rounded up and not exact numbers. Weird. Really not sure what is Disney doing here but whatever.
Knew it was coming even though all last thread people were saying "nobody's actually claiming the numbers were fudged"There we go, unironic fudge accusations based on the potential of fudging since other movies fudged numbers and therefore since we don't know exactly how the numbers got to where they are (although it's likely international for anyone paying attention to why they've been underreported) so we'll just say it's fudge instead of finding or waiting for answers from people who would know.
There's like a whole section in the OP about how this is a fudge.There we go, unironic fudge accusations based on the potential of fudging since other movies fudged numbers and therefore since we don't know exactly how the numbers got to where they are (although it's likely international for anyone paying attention to why they've been underreported) so we'll just say it's fudge instead of finding or waiting for answers from people who would know.
That's what I'm saying! Took nearly na decade to update AVATAR but only a year for IW. WHO is tracking these things? I want answers lolI'm just curious why they would even bother updating Avatar at all. It's been nearly 10 years. Are these people THAT fucking terrible at accounting?
Look at all that personality thats missing from the remake
I always took fudging to mean they fabricate non-existent money out of nowhere. This doesn't seem to be that. Jatinder said it already passed Avatar back on Wednesday.Yes. It's fudging for the announcement timing/milestone. Otherwise, it would have gotten there in a few weeks most likely.
Maybe the one responsible for updating number for Avatar at Fox is lazy :P? Or maybe that amount of money for Avatar just comes in recently because IIRC Avatar had a re-release at Korea in 2018.What's odd is that it took them nearly a decade to update AVATAR but only a year to update IW. Who's tracking these international numbers?! Lol
So close to $1B Aladdin
Now listen to future Oscar winner song.
So reverse fudge? "Intentionally" underreporting numbers so they can draw out the drama?studios have done this in the past to have a sexy announcement at a public event.
It did the exact same thing as The Dark Knight (I posted the article about it earlier) where they dig up "unreported" international gross with very convenient timing. It's not Transformers 4 where Paramount just outright lied.I always took fudging to mean they fabricate non-existent money out of nowhere. This doesn't seem to be that. Jatinder said it already passed Avatar back on Wednesday.
Reverse fudge isn't a thing. Most likely explanation for finding the exact right amount of money internationally to allow it to pass that milestone at the same time as Comic-Con is simply that they just mess with the numbers a bit.So reverse fudge? "Intentionally" underreporting numbers so they can draw out the drama?
I have zero clue what's the purpose of doing that, although it's funny that the figures are such that Avatar is just 300K short of breaking into 2.79B, like Endgame did.I'm just curious why they would even bother updating Avatar at all. It's been nearly 10 years. Are these people THAT fucking terrible at accounting?
Delay-fudging to make your announcement at a big event!See, that's the thing. This doesn't count as fudging. This is anti-fudging.
They could have announced that it beat Avatar days ago, but literally waited for SDCC. Fudging is when you jump the gun, not when you wait.
They could have announced it earlier, though. Look at Jatinder's post. It ALREADY BEAT Avatar on Wednesday, four days ago.It did the exact same thing as The Dark Knight (I posted the article about it earlier) where they dig up "unreported" international gross with very convenient timing.
