Michael Moore is destined to really hate capitalism, for his new movie "Capitalism: A Love Story" appears to have totally flopped at the box office.

This comes despite all the gushing and fawning by Moore-loving media members prior to the film's October 2nd release.

Take heart, fellow capitalists, for according to Deadline Hollywood this could be a flop of epic proportions:

There is more movie magic in the bookkeeping as there is on the screen.

Perfect! Thanks a mill!!

The movie should have been a bust... Moore is a liar and a Commie who is a power hungry POS.

Him and all of the left wing know nothings in Hollyweird can move to EUROPE and “STAY THERE”.

But wait until the Academy Awards are given out. A sure winner.

I heard this fat asshole marxist on NPR talking about lifting the cap on the SS tax so people would get taxed on all of their income, not just the first 110K (This goes up 4% a year by the way).

Supposedly would keep SS solvent for another 20 years or so.

What happens after that the red son of a bitch didn't say.

I hate to disagree, but this movie did a lot better than I thought it would, which is quite disturbing. It beat out a “real” movie premiere “Whip It”, which was playing in twice as many theaters.

It also had the highest per screen attendance of any of the major releases. Hopefully all the commies went this week and this thing is done by next weeked.

Nobody likes a downer movie in bad times. Upbeat films work better.

I wouldn’t support his crap. the best way to see his film if you want to see trash is to buy tickets to another movie and then go into the theater with his film.

No dollars for Michael Moore.

now if he had accepted food stamps in leu of cash for entry I am sure it would of done much better.

But who wants to spend their ill gotten capitalism derived dollars to see this crud?

I just got back from taking the 11 yr old and her bud to see Fame. One man bought a ticket to see Moores movie . Then he was in line at the concession stand and bought a hot dog and a soda for 12 bucks. I wonder what he was thinking. mmm mmm mmm

Palin bestseller. Moore flop.

Capitalism wins again! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!

[tina07]

Wishes do come true, great!

[Newtoidaho]

Well, this just proves his thesis that Capitalism is a disaster. Things like this wouldn’t happen to him if he had a guaranteed government subsidy.
Sarcasm off.

[Stepan12]

Good.

Schadenfreude rules!
