If you buy out a movie theater on Moviefone, it is considered SOLD OUT, even if no one attends. The numbers then go into Box Office Mojo, etc, and count. I would not be surprised, given the critical importance to the Left that this film "succeed", that Harvey Weinstein himself were buying up all the tickets. The man is worth seveal hundred million dollars. Laying out $1-2 million is chump change to falsely portray "B.M." as a mainstream hit and pump this up for the Oscars.

I was just thinking that. The box office is all computerized now, so you can buy your tickets from Fandango on your home computer and pick up the tickets yourself at a station in the theater lobby. The box office has to know about those sales so the Sold Out sign goes on automatically.

Are Special Interests using Fandango and Moviefone to stuff the box office by paying for empty seats?
