[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 9444416, member: 7006"] Beats me. But it doesn't really matter the exact numbers anyway. All of my points still stand about taking whatever the current playerbase is and then weeding out each and every group I mentioned until we got down to the total number of people who actually boycotted the movie and how much revenue that might have cost Paramount. If some people want to believe that it's those boycotting fans who caused the box office to only reach $93 million domestic and that's why the film "bombed"... they are free to do so. Me personally? I believe you need a film to reach every potential quadrant of the filmgoing public to make a hit, and it's because not enough "non-D&D" people went to see it that it didn't get over $100 million. That's why it "bombed", not because they couldn't get every D&D player to see it. The film was never going to succeed or fail on [I]just [/I]the D&D players spending money on it. [/QUOTE]
