Names of characters

Where are the characters' names derived from? Are they named (eg Laura, the Bad Man) in the credits? Popcornduff (talk) 23:30, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

Box Office

In the infobox, the gross is listed as $2,824,615. However, the citation currently lists the lifetime gross as $1,086,000 as of April 20, 2014. Am I reading this incorrectly? My change was reverted by User:Status, so perhaps I'm looking at the wrong thing. I did do a 'find on page', though, and couldn't find the other number listed. Where on that citation does it list $2,824,615? Happy to discuss this, but if nobody objects, I'll just change it back sometime tomorrow. --Yamla (talk) 22:06, 24 April 2014 (UTC)

$1,086,000 is the domestic gross, if you click on the foreign tab, you can see $1,789,813 for the UK. That number is an addition of both. — Status (talk · contribs) 22:53, 24 April 2014 (UTC)

Great! Thanks, Status! Much appreciated. --Yamla (talk) 23:34, 24 April 2014 (UTC)

Of course! Usually the site provides a total gross, but for some reason, it hasn't for this film. — Status (talk · contribs) 17:44, 25 April 2014 (UTC)

Administrator continually removing poster art?

Anyone care to chime in on this? I've uploaded it once or twice now and it keeps getting deleted for reasons that are unclear. The majority of film entries on Wikipedia contain images of the posters, yet an administrator by the name of Yamla keeps deleting the image. This is getting ridiculous. Scottdoesntknow (talk) 06:45, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

I'm not entirely sure why it's being deleted either. It's not immediately obvious. Popcornduff (talk) 10:27, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

The image requires an appropriate detailed fair-use rationale. The license that has been chosen the last three or four times specifically and explicitly prohibited its use solely for illustration, while the uploader indicated it was only being used for illustration. There's certainly no reason why a fair-use image with an appropriate license and rationale could remain up, but copyright violations must be removed. --Yamla (talk) 19:51, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

And to be clear, I see it has been uploaded again, this time with an appropriate detailed fair-use rationale. Thanks, everyone! --Yamla (talk) 19:52, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

Kristy Puchko paragraph in "Critical Response"

I've deleted the paragraph regarding Kristy Puchko's interpretation in the "Critical Response" section of "Reception." The paragraph made no mention of Puchko's criticism/praise of the film and instead focused on the writer's interpretation of the film. Seeing as the rest of the section (and nearly every section like it on Wikipedia) is focused on scores and criticism/praise from notable reviewers it seemed like a fair edit.

If someone disagrees then they should perhaps consider creating a "Meaning" or "Interpretations" tab for the film. But bear in mind that the writings of writers other than Kristy Puchko will need to be represented. And if one would like to keep the review of Kristy Puchko in the "Critical Response" tab please refrain from just re-posting the deleted paragraph. It would be more fitting to instead find a sentence or passage that sums up the writer's overall opinion of the film and then adding it to the paragraph that already has quotes like that.
