So Yesterday (Danny Boyle film) according to Universal shows a net loss of $87.7 Million dollars against a $157.3M worldwide gross - JD May 5, 18:49 14
- I'm gonna be the pedant here. they're not saying it's lost $87.7 million, they're saying it's made $87.7 million too little according to that person's - mafic May 5, 21:03

- I wish I had an opportunity to lose a studio $87.7 million. -- nm - Mop May 5, 19:03 2
  - I'm pretty sure that the studio figured out a way a to 'lose' a significant chunk of that $87.7M - JD May 5, 19:25 1
    - Exactly. If Danny Boyle cost a studio 10s of millions, he'd never work again. -- nm - Mop May 5, 20:59
- Or make better movies. -- nm - Spawn May 5, 18:56 5

There’s really gonna be a lot of careful hypocrisy spreading if people applaud the NY judge’s decision to restore the N.Y. presidential primary but cr - JackDawson May 5, 18:27 19
- Wisconsin wasn't removing anyone from the ballot. They were trying to move the whole vote to later and to mail in. -- nm - . May 5, 19:37
- yeah, I'm following hard. -- nm - loosilu May 5, 18:32
- This is different. There was still going to be an election on that day. - ty97 May 5, 18:28 16
  - Well not in every county. I believe Cuomo said 23 districts or 23 pct of counties had nothing else at all, so it would avoid unnecessary social undist - JackDawson May 5, 18:30 2
    - If we are going to be a Democracy, we need to figure out how to run election safely (hello mail ballots to everyone) -- nm - ty97 May 5, 18:31 1
      - Obviously -- nm - JackDawson May 5, 18:33
  - IOW, this wasn't about canceling/not canceling election day. It was about a change made to one race on the ballot -- nm - ty97 May 5, 18:29 12
    - Incorrect as to a substantial number of NYS counties with increasing COVID exposure -- nm - JackDawson May 5, 18:30 11
      - Every district has something, though I guess there could be uncontested primaries for the House -- nm - ty97 May 5, 18:32 10
        
        No, not according to Cuomo. The move permits NO elections at all in a not insubstantial portion of the state. Call them uncontested primaries if you w - JackDawson May 5, 18:34 8
        
        Every House seat is up. 6/23 is the primary for House seats. So there can't be an district without a race. - ty97 May 5, 18:36 7
        
        I think he was saying there were districts that didn’t need a race, but in any case your point fails hard because as we all know Wisconsin needed to h - JackDawson May 5, 18:40 6
        
        But WI was moving there's to June when things were ramping up. It's not apples for apples. - ty97 May 5, 18:48 4
        
        Or move it all to August, or whatever. The same solutions apply. COVID either is or isn’t a concern. If that was the concern in Wisconsin then it’s th - JackDawson May 5, 18:55 3
        
        I still disagree. What we knew about COVID a month ago, how we've adapted to it in that time, is different. - ty97 May 5, 19:05 2
        
        And FTR, I don't think the March 17 primaries should have moved forward as we were still getting a handle on things. Those should have been delayed -- nm - ty97 May 5, 19:10 1
        
        So you decry the judges decision to hold more instead of less primary now, right, since we know more about how deadly COVID is now than we even knew b - JackDawson May 5, 22:37
        
        (Didn’t need and weren’t planning to hold an election) -- nm - JackDawson May 5, 18:40
