If you are going to see it, you better hurry. It’s tanking at the box office.

$5.3 million so far, a week's run in the top 10, and number 6 overall for political documentaries in 9 days reported.

Tanking.

Thanks for your movie expertise there, I'll let Brandon know what a great analyst you are.

Bet it at least makes a decent profit. Can't say that about a lot of movies.

True, it was only number 9 on the list this past weekend.

Next time, check your facts before posting.

After only 2 weeks, it's already the 15th-highest grossing documentary of all time. It's pulled in nearly $3 million in each of it's first 2 weekends, with almost no drop-off, which compares favorably with all the top-grossing documentaries. In fact, the opening weekend was the 3rd highest grossing documentary of all time.

And just to add a little pleasant schadenfreude to the mix, the highly-touted cultural-decadence-promoting "Shine a Light," the only other currently-screening documentary, is $1.2 million behind "Expelled" despite being in release for twice as many weeks.

That is not true.

Or, put another way, that's a lie. It's 11th, with well over $5 million at the BO. It seems to be a pretty popular doc, contrary to your fantasies about its decline.
