OR:Shares of News Corp. (NWS.A: news, chart, profile) (NWS: news, chart, profile) traded down 13 cents to $15.87 on Friday afternoon.FURTHER OR:[RUPERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! factotum Bruce] Snyder could not give a firm screen count but said it could be significantly higher because of interlocking, the practice of taking one print and showing it on multiple screens within a theater. The lack of any other film playing midnight shows on Thursday essentially made nearly every auditorium in the multiplex available, and exhibitors added screens as demand warranted.TRANSLATION: NOTHING ELSE PLAYED AT THE MOVIES! This bodes well for everyone who isn't LUKE SPIELBERG.
Several other notes: No. 1: RUPERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! gets only
a $50 MILLION DISTRIBUTION FEE (talk about DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHH). No. 2: It's playing at 9,000 screens of ill-repute. Who wants to bet on a BIG FIVE-O? No. 3: NEWS HACKS SPECIALIZE IN INNUMERACY.
WILL SOMEBODY SEAL PAUL DRECK'S MOUTH WITH SUPERGLUE?????
