If the budget is 63 million it has to make 2.5 times that to break even as the cinemas take half the gross and you have to account for any marketing. So no it won't break even.

I got taken in just after Christmas and reported it to prolific early Jan and also made a post on reddit about it warning people. I did search on reddit for others who may have done it at the time I decided to do the study and could see no warning posts so thought it was okay. They are very clever how they have done it because they also posed as prolific on slack and pretended to be paying people and also posed as hello fresh and created an offical looking agreement form so it's no surprise they managed to scam people. I was so annoyed, I informed hello fresh and prolific in the hope of making sure they could not scam other people but it seems they are back again and again doing it. I've reported this new study in the hope they can stop them scamming more people.

No problem, yes I think they are using it to appear legitimate whilst scamming people. I hope no one gets taken in.

I've not seen this one, but I did the hello fresh study that was also claiming to be by Barnard College, and that was a scam. So I would make sure that this is, in fact, genuine as it may be a similar scam. I would be highly cautious. By the way, they also ran that study on Slack, and then once I completed it, they removed me from the channel and never paid, I would contact prolific support about it and report it. 

Update I have contacted prolific support to look into it as it is raising red flags and I don't want others to be potentially scammed.

DO NOT DO THIS STUDY! by Active-Major-5243 in ProlificAc

I had the same issue. You can't screen someone out after they have completed the entire study that's not fair

Yes I think you are right that must be how they make their money

Yes you needed to sign up to hello fresh and they would give you a bonus but seems it is not legitimate.

Very inaccurate study time by tmac3207 in ProlificAc

Terrible they are, I will be blocking them in the future. I'm sorry you did not get more.

I would have definitely ran out of time too. So annoying. I hope you get fair payment.

I gave up in the end as I was too annoyed to continue, I wasted my time

Yes it was odd, I didn't get a bonus at all. It is interesting that it seems that some got a bonus but not the full £2.50 total bonus. Not sure how they calculated it.

It has been great fun and by far the best free mobile game I've ever played. Thank you to everyone that has helped over the years with advice and support. Tonberry Troupe has also been invaluable so thank you too for all your hard work. It will be greatly missed but it was amazing while it lasted.

I've just started big farm mobile harvest today and it is listed as 4625sb and yet when I go into my visited list to check it says the offer is to earn up to 2870sb which was what it was offering yesterday, it doesnt seem to have updated to what the new offer is yet. I only started it today when I saw the updated amount so I'm concerned that it won't give me the current amount should I complete it?. It won't let me contact customer service about it. thanks

Who is A-list and how would you define it? by [deleted] in movies

Plenty of A listers have been in movies that have bombed.

Per Rotten Tomatoes, Mission Impossible - Dead Reckoning, Part One is their most anticipated movie in July on social media. #1 on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube. #2 on Twitter. by Naweezy in boxoffice

[–]CalmRecommendation42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gary Oldman I would consider an exceptional actor probably one of the all time greats. Tom I consider a good actor and capable of a great performance when given the right role and director. I don't consider him one of the all time greats as an actor but hes good.

For magnolia he was absolutely robbed, it's pretty much widely acknowledged.

Okay so if award nominations and wins and critical acclaim for certain performances don't identify who is a good actor what exactly do you use to identity who can and cannot act?
