>>>>A lot of them do.

>>>Here, have some examples of novelizations (both source material and "based on screenplay") where the exact phrase is used.

>>I clearly said a lot of them use the wording "now a major motion picture". You've thrown a pile of links at me to prove nothing.

>Those are called "sources." They're what people use to prove their point when someone tries to argue with them.

I see you've failed basic logic. Six cherry-picked images don't do anything to prove your point.

For you to prove your point, you would need a source that showed a vast majority of novelizations say "now a major motion picture" on the cover. You have provided no such source.

>So put up or shut up.

Okay, let's play stupid games. Maybe there's stupid prizes to be won.

Godzilla. The Dark Knight Rises. Suicide Squad. Interstellar. The Nice Guys. The Cabin in the Woods. Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Crimson Peak

The closest I came across while poking around was Star Trek (2009), which says "A major motion picture from Paramount Pictures".

Not one occurrence of your universal phrase in a pile of recent novelizations of popular works chosen semi-randomly from an Amazon search. Which solidly supports my point that it is "hardly 'every'". In fact, it appears to be even less common than I thought it was.

Now I'm fucking done. I can't believe I wasted time on this stupid argument.
