| == Production Costs vs. Marketing Costs == | |||
| When talking about movie budgets, "budget" conventionally refers to "production costs." It does not refer to "production costs + marketing cost". This is what it means across the board when, say, budget is listed in a film box on a Wiki page, or even when "budget" is mentioned in USA Today. Also, on the "box office bombs" page, this is what budget refers to. | |||
| Also, according to Wiki policy, you are not allowed to delete warnings from your own discussion page. You probably didn't know this either, so I'll let it go this time without complaining. ] 12:41, 30 October 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :Cutting and pasting warnings from your talkpage and placing them onto mine is a form of vandalism. Given the fact that you (and only you) are violating Wiki policy at this point, I have little doubt that the moderator in this forum will mind that I deleted your vandalism. ] 18:49, 30 October 2006 (UTC) | |||
| == List of Domestic Bombs Article == | |||
| Greetings. I wanted to let you know I've reverted your revert to the article noted above. Another user (66.159.192.213) has added a note to the talk page of that article indicating that the numbers given for the film "Slither" include its marketing costs, which apparently differs from the normal standard for whether a movie is considered a "Domestic Bomb" or not. (Only actual production costs are factored into such an assessment.) However, if that's incorrect, you have other information, or there's some other factor that you think contributes to the film's status as a "bomb" (a vague term that should probably be done away with in the first place in an encyclopedia... but I digress) then please let us know on that article's talk page. Thanks. ] 01:57, 31 October 2006 (UTC) | |||
