'This Was Not Supposed To Happen’: Gore’s Sequel Comes In Dismal 15th At Box Office
Climate Depot ^ | 08/07/17 | Marc Morano

Former Vice President Al Gore’s new film, “An Inconvenient Sequel”, came in a dismal 15th this weekend at U.S. theaters, according to Box Office Mojo. Gore’s defenders have been quick to blame Paramount Pictures for the dismal performance of Gore’s sequel. “Al Gore Gets Ripped Off Again,” screamed the headline of D.R. Tucker in Washington Monthly.View post “This was not supposed to happen,” Tucker wrote, adding, “he should have demanded a recount.”

“Sadly, the box-office under-performance of An Inconvenient Sequel will be seized upon by climate-change deniers as ‘proof’ that Americans don’t really care about this issue,” Tucker wrote.

The box office performance will disappoint Gore, who had urged his followers to pack movie theaters to send a message to “Trump and the other climate deniers.”

Rumor has it that not a single person saw it in FL...NC...PA...OH...MI...IN...WI...or IA.

And not a single person in the 2nd Congressional District in Maine saw it either.

I was thinking, his ex-wife Tipper - aside from her crusade to wreck popular music she’s kept a pretty low profile, expecially since the Gorbal Walming BS Era began. She’s probably as embarrassed by the idiot as anyone.

What we need is a Wereridihim boundary that we can easily cross.

Kind of like the Iridium demarcated K-T boundary.

An Inconvenient Truth per Wikipedia:

the documentary was a critical and box office success, winning two Academy Awards for Best Documentary Feature and Best Original Song.[4] The film grossed $24 million in the U.S. and $26 million at the international box office, becoming the tenth highest grossing documentary film to date in the United States.

“30,000 is still a surprisingly small number”

What number would be considered “normal”?

Tucker, your a dum-bass.

Al Gore swimming around in his 85 degree pool year round screaming about ManBearPig.

Give it up. Go get your marks from princess Maxine.

Your a liberal which means you are a liar.

There are enough of them in zoos that they will never go extinct.

Should they all get bit by rabid foxes and die we could easily repopulate the area.

I would rather see a Sequel to the movie.....”THEM”!. At least it would be light years ahead of “Climate Change”

The Sequel could be called .....”THOSE”! I’m sure it would fare well at the box office.

OOO! OOO!

So, having no life this afternoon, I looked up "Rotten Tomatoes" all time worst movies. Their opening weekends, were as follows...

"Return to the Blue Lagoon". 1.277 mill. Beats Al.

"Staying Alive". 12 mill. Beats Al. On a related note, I remember the MAD parody of this flick and they called it "Staying Awake". :-)

"Wagons East" 1.8 Million

"Mac and Me" 2.06 Million

"Baby Geniuses 2" 3 Million.

These numbers were all unadjusted for inflation, as well.
