Bailey exiting Blonde? — Page 4

This thread is so catty. Loves it.

As for Bailey leaving Blonde, I watched an interview she gave and she said her contract was indeeeeed for 6 months with an option to renew after that. I'm not talking about how long the show will last in actuality, I'm just saying this is what she was offered under the producers assumption that the show will continue that long.

"There are people on this board (and who've posted in this thread) who are extremely knowledgeable and have actual inside information. Criticizing them is the actual exercise in stupidity. "

Believing anything you read on this site is a bigger exercise in stuuuuuupidity. These same people have been wrong so many times but nobody on a consistent basis notes when they are wrong and publicly apologizes.

I'm not talking about people like TDH. I'm talking about people who are insiders who have proven themselves right on here time and again. After more than three years on this board, I've learned who to pay attention to and who to ignore.

"There are people on this board (and who've posted in this thread) who are extremely knowledgable and have actual inside information. Criticizing them is the actual exercise in stupidity."

LOL! How laughable! There are a TON of people on here who THINK that they are important or have inside iformation, but mostly, it's just average people talking out their ars.

I'm still waiting for the guy who kept posting MULTIPLE times a day saying that he knew 1000% that Autumn was the winner and that he was going to be posting his "I told you so" dance on you tube for everyone to watch after she wins on the finale! He even went so far to say that he heard it straight from her agent's mouth at the Tonys! That he knew from VERY RELIABLE sources and had seen proof for himself!

LOL! We all know how that ended up!

Now come on! There may be insiders, but they would not be on here trying to prove how much they know and how little everyone else does.

Smaxie is a wonderful sourice of knowledge and has real insider information that is accurate.

How much did they put into this show? So far its made $49,779,911!

But what does that number mean? The show's been there since, when, April of last year? So you're looking at 65 weeks or so?

So that averages out to, $765,800 or so a week? Which is pretty good, yes. But what's the weekly nut, the running costs? It's not a cheap show to run. How much beyond the initial investment have they put into advertising? Is MTV paying them or are they paying MTV?

$50,000,000 in revenue doesn't say much of anything, unless you know what cost is being putout along the way. And as the producers haven't done the big 'we've recouped!' press release, there's no reason to believe they have. And if they aren't recouping at almost $800,000 a week for over a year, it's hard to imagine they will anytime soon.

Wow. If this is correct, some of you guys may have to eat a plate of steaming poo. A simple Google search with the phrase "Legally Blonde recoup" turned up this:



"And it's helped the box office, too, with the show only a whisper away from recouping its $9 million-plus production costs.

For "Legally Blonde," box-office grosses have risen steadily in the last month, climbing to more than $786,000 last week, up from nearly $448,000 for the last week of May. Whether the increase is due to summer (and more tourists and kids in town), the MTV show or a combination of both, Luftig, for one, isn't sure.

"But we have seen an increase in our ticket sales, especially our cast album sales (now over 100,000), our Web traffic and our merchandise like hats, sweatshirts and pants," Lipitz adds. "Plus you can feel the energy coming out of the Palace Theatre (audience). And that's the best news of all -- when the cast says, 'Oh, my god, they're screaming' (their approval)."

Bundy's last performance is Sunday July 20. Her replacement is announced the next evening on the TV show. And on Wednesday July 22, a new Elle Woods will take center stage at the Palace Theatre."

Read the whole article for yourselves, then try to wash the taste of crow out of your mouths.

allofmylife, I totally want to give you a hug. That was HIlarious.

Well some people don't really believe in Jesus. Even in huge matters, so I doubt Legally Blonde would really sway them.

Wow, this thread has gotten quiet since the news that Legally Blonde is going to recoup...
