Reliable sources[edit]

So, regarding your claims that the sources were "terrible" please elaborate on why they do not meet Wikipedia:Reliable sources. Deadline Hollywood has been determined to be generally reliable by multiple discussions. Indiewire seems to be OK too. What is the problem with these sources?

The deadline article was published whilst the film was still playing in cinemas, estimating a global box office total of $375 million for losses of $95 million.
This is woefully inaccurate as the film ended up grossing $410 million at the end of its run.
On that basis: The $95 million loss is inaccurate because the film made considerably more than the $375 million projection by the author.
If the author can be that wrong with their estimations of the box office, I don't think it's unreasonable to assume that they could be just as wrong with their projections of the movies budget and marketing costs.
What the article is saying doesn't match up to what actually happens and therefore it's not a reliable source and shouldn't be trusted.
