Al Gore’s global warming documentary is finding an audience – in its second weekend in theaters, "An Inconvenient Truth” led all films in box office gross per screen.

The movie was shown in 77 theaters and took in $1.34 million – enough to put it at No. 9 in box office gross for the weekend – for an average of $17,615 per screen.

Notice how they twist the numbers in this manner for Gore's film, but this wasn't done for United 93. The weekend that movie came out, freepers here figured out on their own that it did very well using this measure, but the MSM chose not to mention that. Double standards, how shocking.

People love good comedy!

[Pox]

It's the same BS they spewed for Brokeback Homo's.

[Mo1]

$1.34 million is something to brag about?

The media wants the Dems to gain control so badly in November...I can't wait to read the headlines after they fail to do so.

[thoughtomator]

They did the same for bareback mounting, tried to play it as the #1 film based on the per-theater count (never mind that it played only in Gay Mecca theaters).

[Always Right]

So this is like a remake of Jerry Lewis's Nutty Professor? Cool!

I'm opening a new practice 11/4/2006 specializing in post- election depression

That's roughly 157,000 people viewed the movie. I do believe that albore can find 157,000 supporters. However, by H'weird standards, these figures are pretty sad.

[FreedomNeocon]

Yeah... it started in 2 theaters... in NYC and LA and did FANTASTIC 'per theater'.

In its second week, it opened in 75 additional theaters (3500% increase in theaters, and only a 300% increase in revenue)

Regardless... reporting revenue 'per theater' combined with the intentionally rollout strategy is the HEIGHT of dishonesty... but I'm not in the least surprised.

[SaxxonWoods]

I wonder how much fossil fuel was burned by all those people driving to the theaters...and how much coal was burned to provide the electricity to run the lights and air conditioning, and...and...

WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!

[The_Victor]

A movie about Algore giving a global warming slide show....

*yawn*

*Sssnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggk*

There's probably a scientific use for this synaptic inhibitor...

[lexington minuteman 1775]

Posieden adventure would make that kind of money if it was only in 77 theaters... bwhahahahahaha.

Here is an excellent link that gives the real overview of the Climate:

We went to the National Cathedral for church and the priest inserted a commercial into the sermon for the movie. It made no sense whatsoever.

Speaking of Global Warming, there was frost in the garden again this morning. Fifth day in a row. Some produce growers, even with greenhouses, are having problems, loss of crop. June 6 and still nothing has sprouted except the native vegetation.

[Cinnamon]

MSM will surely call this jewel a box office hopeful..

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I can't wait to read the headlines after they fail to do so.

How will they claim the elections were stolen this time?

Diebold and butterfly ballots and hanging chads and disenfranchisement!

Oh my!

[The Old Hoosier]

This is the same thing they did to inflate the hype over bareback mountain. They only show it on a few screens so that they pack the house. I'd love to see them expand it and see how it does then...

[the OlLine Rebel]

Actually it's a pretty good stat (1 can tell, because normally HW doesn't bother hyping legit %-type stats, they only care about total $). But not when it runs in all of 10 theaters.
