I don't think liberals will feel obligated to go see it. They just won Congress, so their anger should subside and their attention be focused elsewhere. They don't need to support the Dixie Chicks anymore, and most of them hated the music anyway. I've said all along that their latest CD would debut at #1 with a quick falloff because it would be snapped up by fury-deluded liberals who thought that buying it would be a thumb-in-the-eye to President Bush, as if he pays the slightest attention to the CD sales charts. They would then use it as a drink coaster. But the next CD they release after that will tank badly because Bush will be gone or on the way out, the lib fury will have subsided, the free anti-Bush MSM publicity will be over, and their original audience will have told them to go to hell. (I've worked in radio, records and PR for 30 years, BTW).

A better way to look at the movie's success would be to check the daily per-screen averages. It peaked on the opening Saturday at $5,842 per screen. It fell during the following week to a low of $1,104, rose the next Saturday to $3,853, and during the following week fell to a low of $710. That is a quickly falling downward trend.

If it were building like "Brokeback Mountain," I'd expect the numbers to be going the other direction. For "Borat," they used the strategy of opening in 837 theaters then opening wider a week later. The first Saturday per-screen-average was $12,114, and the following Saturday, even after a week in theaters and expanding to over 2,500 screens, was still $4,482. That means it made over $10 million the first Saturday and over $11 million the second Saturday. Now, that's a hit.

"It's only in 9 theaters."

That must be the same number of radio stations that still play their music.

Well. African-Americans (95% dem voters) don't like country music. Nor do urban Jews(87% dems). Nor do Dearborinstan Arabs or Minnesota Somali immigrant Muslims(100% dems.) Nor do the hard leftists at the university faculty clubs.(98% dems.)

Country music fans are traditionally white, Christian and patriotic. When the Chicks trashed an American president before a foreign audience of smelly Eurotrash, what did they expect? Dim bulbs, really. Probably put up to it by the phony Eurotrash green-card hustling husband.

The Dixie Chicks will be honored everywhere except at the box office. Countless leftist show biz groups will find ways to celebrate the "great talent" of the Dixie Chicks. But the rest of us, who know what they are, namely, traitors to the country and to the people who made them, will continue to turn away. It is as it should be.

Shut Up and Sing.
Seesh, they don't even have the imagination to come up with something of their own. That's from Laura Inghrams' book.

I'm guessing that Laura's book also made more money.

My friends took son to the Chicks concert last night and they showed clips of the film before the concert. After the opening act they were 45 minutes late coming out on stage to perform. Lots of respect for those who still buy their music!

A convincing analysis. I'm pessimistic because of how well various crapumentaries have done in recent years -- I was beginning to think that there was no scenario too outlandish for someone to make a ton of money from angry, delusional liberals.
