Copyright of film press releases
Transferred from My Talk Page.

Can you identify the policy page that says official film press releases aren't copyrighted? According to FAQ/Copyright: "'Occasionally, the question is raised about the copyright status of press releases. While press releases are by nature intended to be reproduced widely, there is no inherent permission to alter them or create derivative works based on them, or to use them for commercial purposes. Accordingly, press releases are handled like other copyrighted content. In the absence of explicit disclaimer or permission, these may not be freely reproduced.'"

 * I believe Wikipedia:Copy-paste will cover that with "Always write the articles in your own words and cite the sources of the article." which is on my first thing to do list tomorrow as soon as I have some sleep. You will find that a lot of up and coming Movies have official summaries in to provide substance for the article. It is up to the editors to rewrite/word them etc. As in the case of Superman (film), Warm Bodies (film), After Earth and The Wolverine (film). Where I see them, I rewrite them in own words so they cannot be accused of copy vio. It's standard practice for any summary for TV Series/Films. It's just in this instance I have added it first as it is a fairly new article. MisterShiney    ✉    23:07, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
 * WP:COPYVIO is not a policy open to discussion. Any film pages with cut-and-pasted summaries from press releases should be removed immediately. I suggest you find a policy page to support your assertion that film press releases are "immune" to our copyright policy before restoring it again. OhNo itsJamie  Talk 23:16, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Have re written the section, as I said I would, to comply. MisterShiney    ✉    23:24, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I've never heard of any exceptions to our copyright policy, but I can see where the existence of other examples of it (and the notion that the purpose of a PR is for wide dissemination) would lead one to believe that it was OK. Cheers, OhNo itsJamie Talk 23:31, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

Source of film's budget
The Box Office Mojo link at the end of the sentence relaying the film's $30 million budget doesn't establish that as the budget. Could someone provide a reference for this? Otherwise I will delete that bit. thanks--Aichik (talk) 01:18, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
