If you go to see "Capitalism" check your ticket to make sure they rang it up on the right key.
 
I never go to the movies. But when I went to see Fahrenheit 911 my movie theater rang it up on The Anchor Man instead. I didn't notice for six months when I cleaned my purse.
I wouldn't be surprised if the theaters are pulling all kinds of crap.

1. All kinds of crap?

You mean like when they wouldn't ring up people or include the box-office receipts from the (gasp!) Christian-themed movie, "Fireproof", that kind of conspiracy, Joanne?

The last time I went to a movie, (years ago), we didn't get receipts and the tickets were generic with no movie printed on them.

Yeah, that's why Moore's movie only brought in $1.3 million over the weekend.  It's the ticket window's fault.  Couldn't have anything to do with the fact that people have caught on to Moore's dishonest, fabricated "documentaries".

That's about $1.295 million more than it should have brought in.  He's living off his successes of previous movies, and the fat bastard is about to (try to) jump the shark.

Or they could be like me and go to the movies to be entertained, not lectured to by a fat hypocrit. That's why I went and saw Zombieland.

I suppose the market for people that enjoy being lectured to is not very large.  I don't think his last movie had a lot of staying power after the customary first month of free publicity provided by the liberal alphabet networks wore off.

Seriously, that's all his "love story" to capitalism could garner this weekend?

The biggest disappointment of the weekend is Michael Moore’s Capitalism: A Love Story (Overture). After a $57K per theatre average on 4 screens last weekend, the picture broke to a wider 962 locations with terrible results. The “documentary” only sold an estimated $1.3M in tickets to start the weekend, and it will finish at about $3.9M for a PTA of less than $4,000. That soft opening will almost certainly make Capitalism Moore’s weakest-grossing movie since 2002’s Bowling for Columbine ($21.5M domestic gross).

That's where I got my 1.3m number from...

....while the majority of the movie going public went and saw 4 films that are actually good instead of the usual drek that the Fat Bastard from Michigan produces.

All 4,800 of the DUmmies? :-)

"The Invention of Lying" sounded kinda good.  I saw "The Informant" last week.  That was damn-near an anti-capitalism movie by itself.  It was kinda slow, and not what I expected.  If you've seen the trailers, those are the only laughs in the entire movie.

Yeah, isn't it amazing how the ones who make movies pissing on capitalism are the ones who won't work for less than $10M per movie?

I haven't seen "The Informant" yet, even though it is based on something that was centered here in my hometown. I still don't see how they could make a "comedy" out of the story.
