Apparently the movie audiences agree with Michael Moore. They don't like Capitalism either. They are going to express this dislike by not buying tickets for his movie.

Irony is a .....

If only he believed in Capitalism. Then he might just have made some capital.

All I can do is laugh!

You can not compare the jerks movie to the other movies premiering this week because it is a “documentary” (it is to laugh derisively).

In all reality it is not a bad showing for only 962 theaters.

Moore is to film as Joseph Mengele to medicine.

For a guy that hates capitalism so much, he should be renting out his movie for free to any theatre that wants to run it. What would the price of a ticket be if the movie rent was zero to the screen?

What are the sales for “Going Rogue” again? SP will have made more $$$ by Nov. 17 than Moore will see in his pathetic life.

Funny - he’s telling Kossacks to pay 10 bucks to see his latest bomb that condemns the making of money for the purposes of profit.

And they don’t see the irony.

The way I figure it, that’s less than 150 people per screen.
and not even a 1,000 screens nationwide. Now lesssee....How many showings you figure this represents?... 2?...3?...

When you consider taht several lib bastions likely had sellouts...One can only conclude that many of these theatres were basically empty, except for the crickets...

Keep in mind he did not have near the amount of theaters that others did...I understand that we want to make him look dumb but at least be fair about it.

It’s too early for shadenfreude. A couple of other Moore movies — “Sicko” and “Bowling for Columbine” started out with similar numbers — and wound up raking in $36 million, and $58 million (worldwide), respectively. That’s a lot of money for a “documentary” (i.e. low cost).
