Current Talk '24 I / Re: Depp/Burton DARK SHADOWS Is In Release!!

That Forbes writer has been making the rounds of the various entertainment shows for the last few days practically proclaiming the death of Depp's career. I began wondering which guesstimate she was using for DS, figuring she had to be using one of the biggest ones - and sure enough on one of the shows she proclaimed the budget for the film was $175 million, which is the biggest guesstimate there is on a legitimate Web site. So, sure, if she wants to use that one, there would be no way DS made back its money and turned a profit based on boxoffice alone because it would have had to have made like $430 million before that could have even begun to happen. But there is no way she can know for sure that that was the budget for the film because, as we've stressed time and again with these people, WB just isn't about to give out that figure and everything that's been reported from $100 million to $175 million are all guesstimates. Plus, I would believe Tim Burton when he says the film made a profit (no matter how small) before I would believe someone like the Forbes writer who obviously has an agenda with Depp and who apparently picked the guesstimate she thought would best prove her point. But then, so what else is new with some of these writers.
(Of course, we might also recall that Forbes gave the film a positively scathing review back in May of last year. To say it was excessively harsh and extremely vitriolic in its opinions of both Depp and Burton would be an understatement!)
The Depp/Burton Dark Shadows played in US theaters for at least 161 days/23 weeks!!
The Depp/Burton Dark Shadows is now out on DVD/Blu-ray!!
