Are you talking about perception here?
Because I would really hate to hear whiny fanboys whine after "The Dark Knight" has a phenomenal opening but then still fails to crack $300 domestic.
And part "A" is clearly about Eddie Murphy.

If a movie makes more than a studio is estimating it did not under perform. But just watch Nikki try and call it a disappointment.

It's all Paramount, all Fox time. And it's all caps, so who's "A Studio" Head's Producing Partner?... assuming the choice is among Robiniov, Lesher, Rice, Pascal, Aviv and Shmuger?
