I’m sure these two folks have absolutely no reason whatsoever to exaggerate the number of people let go at the same time they were… if, in fact, they weren’t the only ones let go.

Disclaimer all numbers quoted are from 2008, though 2009 can’t be much different.

144 MM Revenue
19.5 MM Operating
74 MM Players

About 50 MM in profit which just so happens to almost equal their gate receipts.

How can a business making ~50MM in profit lay people off?  If they suck at their job just fire them.

Hey, $50,000,000 doesn’t go as far as it used to.
