Here is where press agents and news hacks (six of one) do their duty: by emitting nonsense like "ALL-TIME RECORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" we automatically stop people from thinking, and a company that's employed fake movie critics and rootkits is about nothing so much as control. Thus I have come to the notion that certain things should be minimally reported, because we get spin or PR otherwise -- and at the top of the list are box-office "grosses."

Let's see: all those midnight openings, and more theaters, and less competition, and inflation, and -- how many ways is this ALL-TIME RECORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! dishonest?

But heck if The Paper of Re-CORD can run unindependent independent "experts" we can run "grosses."

P. S. Movies two through ten did an alleged grand total of $8.76 million in business. Whoopee.
