Status, let me ask you somethingwhere do you think these budget quotes you put up as gospel come from?  They come from people at these websites evaluating the information available to them.  Nobody ever calls them from the studio and says ""Okay, here's what we spent on this movie.""  They do not like that information to be widely available.  In their perfect world, nobody would know what they spent on their moviesthey'd announce a preliminary figure before one frame of film was shot, and no matter how much higher the actual expenses went, that's what people would quote.  But we're curious to know, and it's part of how we decide how well (or poorly) a given film did, so in the very rare event that somebody directly at the center of financing a given film says ""Budget was Mid-30's"", that's actually a big deal to a site like box office mojo.  They take that very seriously, and they will use that to base a budget estimate onknowing full well that's not the exact figure, and neither they nor any other website will ever have the exact figure.  No movie ever costs exactly 10 million, 20 million, 100 million, etc.  It's always approximate.  It's never exact.  And it's usually lowballed, because studios want people to think they made more money than they really did (or in this case, that they lost less money than they really did).  Now you can see I haven't edited the budget info for this movie in days, so what exactly is your problem here?  You know, if I'd just emailed bomojo on the quiet, it would say 35mil on this article right now.  But I was honest and aboveboard, and this is the thanks I getbeing treated as if I got away with something.  And you're insulting box office mojo into the bargain.  What makes you think they're that easy to fool?  They had access to all the same sources Arre used, and they didn't think they were persuasivethey were persuaded by the article I sent them.  And honestly, I'd rather have that info there than here.  But it should be here as well.  I won't take it on myself to put it upfor now.  But you should think carefully about how this looks.  And that's all I have to say for the moment.  I'll be watching both of you.  "
