1. goclark...

Is there a reason you want to see it?

It sounds like another Rovian hack job.

I wouldn't use it to line a birdcage.

[goclark]

13. No way do I want to see it!

MsgoclarkOBAMA...is mad as HELL!

Don't like anybody saying anything " not nice "
about My President!!!

2. Conservatives are most likely buying tickets in bulk.

Just like they do with their trashy literature.

3. Doubt it

Books and movies sell differently. Generating a buzz about a book by pushing it onto the best-seller list would work.

Movies have a very limited shelf-life. Next week's take on this movie will be substantially lower than this weeks.

They've severely limited the number of screens this thing is being shown on, so theatre-goers will see pretty full auditoriums.

11. They are. Wingnut churches that can afford it

are buying tickets for the congregation, probably for "donations." Even people who donate don't seem all that interested in seeing it but it does pump up the numbers.

4. A friend saw it. He said there were 50 people in a theater built for 300.

Doesn't exactly sound like a capacity crowd!

5. Yahoo is reaching hard - $6.3 million is far from "stellar"

...and its hard to imagine there are that many more people willing to sit through the swill.

6. Fahrenheit 9/11 is number one in box office sales for documentaries.

Third is Bieber ..... LOL!

7. Appeals to the same as say the scientology movies

has a fringe audience and they are promoting it as by the producer of Schindler's list

I have heard incidental tales of people realizing it is propaganda and asking for their money back or going into a different theatre and seeing something else

8. Even 20 million is not a great opening

6 million is weak.

[dems_rightnow]

9. $20 million would be extraordinary for a documentary

That would be seriously big. Here are the biggest openings for a documentary:

10. End of summer dump movie. nt

14. For some reason...

I parsed that as...

"an end of summer movie to take a dump by"

15. No it's more the republicans attempt at a Farenheit 9/11 style movie.

But Dinesh D'Souza is certainly no Michael Moore.

[freshwest]

12. The Ron Paul guru Alex Jones has made an industry of Obama hatred for years.

Glenn Beck took up and kept going. This is just more of the same.

[brooklynite]

16. How much impact did the Sarah Palin movie have?

It just reinforces the prejudices of the Tea Party and does impact anyone else.

17. Can't believe they would pay normal movie ticket prices to see this.

Very weird form of entertainment.

18. rethugs are stupid

Of course we know that...they are nuts!
