    - If Disney had a winner like this, they’d simply say it outright. They owe their stock owners more loyalty than exhibitors. - Will Hunting Apr 5, 15:32 3

        It didn’t make a profit after opening week. You are speculating on how much it sold. You don’t know. I do know it box office’ed 95 mil in a month. - Will Hunting Apr 5, 16:07 1
        
        It's actually arguably the most finite data we've ever had. - David Apr 5, 17:04
