Have to imagine Bobby Roberts is holding a private party for that bit of news. Got himself banned just in time for the inevitable return at TLJ's release, I guess. :\
Bobby is happy to talk to people on Twitter, even if he isn't in these threads going forward.
If Thor Ragnarok flops, or if Toa Tak ends up directing and ruining Creed 2, you can troll him there.
On topic, I am not sure if this was posted a couple of days ago, but the MPAA did an audit on Chinese ticket sales, and found that Hollywood films were underreported by up to 9% last year.

According to a Wall Street Journal report published early Tuesday, PricewaterhouseCoopers, investigating on behalf of the MPAA, has discovered that ticket sales in China were underreported by as much as 9 percent in 2016, which amounts to at least $40 million in missing revenue for the six major U.S. studios.
International film studios are currently entitled to a 25 percent share of box-office revenue in China, and the U.S. studios' films officially grossed $1.87 billion there last year — which leaves a take-home of about $470 million.
But Chinese cinemas have been known to employ various tactics to game the system. The MPAA's auditors found incidences of fraud during their inquiry, including unreported screenings, under-reported audience sizes and ticket sales miscategorized as concessions, the Journal's sources, which were unnamed, said.
