| So true. I think the best example is "Toys in the Attic". Its listing in Variety in the theater grosses the week it closed contained the typographical error that it had run 556 instead of the correct 456 performances -- which would be obvious if one multiplied the number of weeks given (58) by 8 to know it couldn't have been more than 464. Yet that wrong number was copied over into the very unreliable "Best Plays" -- which was somewhat significant, because that put it on its Long Runners list (500 or more performances), where it didn't deserve to be. The IBDB had 556, also, until someone had them correct it. I know this for a fact, because I was that person. :) |
