The Numbers
Since AxaMonitor launched in February, we’ve had 27,194 readers visit 64,090 times, reading 111,306 pages.
Biggest day this month: Friday, November 4, on which readers focused on two stories:
- The aborted attempt by Axanar surrogate Jonathan Lane to raise $45,000 on GoFundMe to keep the lights on at Industry Studios, presumably because the production has no more of the $1.5 million it raised.
- Producer Alec Peters told a Los Angeles Comic Con panel he regretted how money he raised for Axanar led to mission creep and a ‘bad call’ on a three-year lease on a warehouse he had built into a commercial studio.
