Nice try. I gave you a chance to name a source on your $200M figure. You couldn't. Why? Because you, more than likely,  just peeked at Wikipedia and took it as fact. Or saw the same article someone used to justify editing Wikipedia. Same reason you conceded so quickly. I'm not the one who lost that "tangent." 

Did you miss my previous response to you? Try to keep up bud. You just used the term, "more than likely" meaning your only tool at practice is assumption. As I have already stated I didn't have a source, it was a rough estimate to use as a base figure for matter of comparison to the outcome/performance of TLJ. THAT is the reason why I conceded so quickly, a placeholder figure that could be anywhere from $200-$300 million.

You're not the one who lost that tangent? haha ok, you definitely won that tangent. A tangent, btw, is a different line of thought, meaning you strayed from my original point which had nothing to do with wikipedia. Congrats on the win, you very much earned it!

So you pulled that number out of thin air, with absolutely nothing to go on? And somehow landed on the exact number from Wikipedia? Right...

You may want to learn how to apply tangent correctly. When you are talking about a movie's budget, and someone comes in and continues to talk about a movie's budget, that's not a tangent.
