> How a leak affects ticket sales is pure speculation
I think one can say with good amount of confidence that a leak of a bad movie would likely tank ticket sales. Leak of a good movie has more unsure consequences.
- csbrooks 12y agoDoes it, though? How many people actually download and watch the leaked movie, and then go tell all their friends how bad it was? Would have to be a pretty big number to make a significant difference in ticket sales, right?
- pessimizer 12y agoThat's what was claimed killed Ang Lee's Hulk movie, and I tend to believe it. It was not a good movie, and in a just world should have failed - but the public had no idea that it was going to be bad until the leak, and would have piled into theaters on opening weekend. http://whatculture.com/film/5-movie-flops-blamed-piracy.php/3 http://whatculture.com/film/5-movie-flops-blamed-piracy.php/...
