I have no doubt the film will be number one this week. Every stinking liberal in America is flocking to see it.
Next week, after his base got its dose of poli-porn, it will be lucky to be in the top five.
I think the numbers will stay pretty high for next week, because there aren't enough theaters showing it yet to meet the demand. It's expanding to around 2000 screens next weekend from the 868 it opened with.
I saw more than a few shaking their heads snickering over a few of these "factual" scenes during the movie. Sure the evangelical liberal lunatics will embrace this as fact, but I think many people will see this "documentary" for what it is; just more pablum in the endless left vs. right nonsense that's replaced meaningful debate in this country.
I have to hand it to Moore though, the guy knows and has his schtick down cold. He's gone from a marginal documentary filmmaker to a household name. He should send President Bush a royalty check I think.
he will have at least $30 - $40 million of his own money to keep making these movies from now on.
