I wonder what those who hasve a financial interest in the box office total think about this? Will they view this as increasing sales or tanking them?
I'm sure they're internally conflicted.
I often wonder this myself. Either they like it for the 'press ' attention it brings to the movie or they cringe and hope it doesn't have a negative impact on the numbers.
Never can tell it happens so often. Makes me think sometimes it is used as a marketing device to attract attention. Would be curious to see numbers on some of these shows after the usual stupid, attention getting, disrespectful idiocy.
