Showbizdata.com can't handle holidays

[Darth23]

Ok, except for the top two movies, Yahoo daily B.O chart has different numbers for Wednesday July 4 from Showbizdata. Given the fact that SBD regularly screws up on holidays (maybe an intern takes over?) I think that Yahoo actually got them right.

Yahoo's Wednesday Chart (http://movies.yahoo.com/hv/boxoffice-daily/latest/rank.html)

You see some interesting patterns when you compare SBD's Wednesday numbers, minus the new films, to Yahoo's Tuesday numbers. What's even more interesting to me is the TYPOS in some of the numbers listed.

Mystery solved, I think

Those IDIOTS. I hate ShowBizData. I cannot believe I am still paying them monthly.

I paid $60 for a year of access to Variety.com and I pay $30 a month apparently for ShowBizData.com. Why? Because I wanted it for one month and forgot to cancel, so I never did. lol. Oh boy, I need to cancel before I leave for college at least.

Stupid idiots.

It's good they actually posted numbers...I was going through withdrawl yesterday when no one had BO numbers up.

[Darth23]

I think yahoo is looking to take away their business. normally I'd send them a email about their mistake, but they were such jersk when I sent them an email when they screwerd up TPM's numbers 1 weekend (TPM made like 1.5 million and they reported .5 million).

[Darth23]

Looks like Showbizdata fixed their July 4th numbers.

:p

[JonathanLB]

They are jerks! I am a paying subscriber and I have the right to tell them whatever the f*** I want to, but they still do not even respond or if they do respond it's surly and rude.

Variety, on the other hand, has been very helpful in fact. Scott Hettrick, their video head guy, helped me with some of the TPM VHS sales figures and whatnot and he was very nice about it.

[Darth23]

SO what were TPM's sales figures? Is it still up in the air?
