Are the good times over for Michael Moore? Have the ticket-buyers finally sickened of the director of Sicko? Sure looks that way, based on what Variety is reporting.
The films of Michael Moore have been faltering at the box office for several years now. This weekend, though, the lackluster performance of his latest truth-to-power opus, "Fahrenheit 11/9," was notably dramatic, if not downright stark.

Apparently, the lefties have grown tired of him, and even they want to be entertained with something new, but Moore is offering the same old stuff. Variety's Owen Gleiberman argues:
Yet let's be brutally honest, since the Michael Moore I know would insist on nothing less. When a documentary filmmaker, for most of three decades, has been defined by his ability to stir up national political debate and even drive it, and to present himself as that all too rare thing in American life, an uncompromising mainstream muckraker, it's meaningful when his popularity and influence begin to erode. It means that even if he hasn't changed, his relationship with the public has.

Michael Moore did a belly flop..I figured that was an earthquake I felt last night, it was Moore flopping around makes sense
Box office receipts is not the main reason to produce these propaganda films.
Sure, he’d love to make lots of money there too. Who wouldn’t?
But the whole point is for it to get bought by HBO, or some other cable network, and get run relentlessly for a few months, then repeated off-and-on for years and years, indoctrinating television viewers with false premises and misleading hype
I’m proud to claim that I have not seen a single one of this disgusting pig’s lie-umentaries. Not even a preview.
Sad!
It’s been twenty-nine years since Roger & Me. His act is about as fresh as roller disco.
Michael Moore= Big fat white flounder. If he fell on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, he’d take out ALL of the stars.
I can’t think of one movie I might watch.
Michael Moore finally moves to Canada; Surrenders US citizenship.
What is he saying that the rest of the media isn’t already saying?
He would singlehandedly bankrupt their healthcare system.
Ewwwww! What has been seen by the mind’s eye can not be unseen!

Actually, that was probably his only “good” one he made. He did interview a bunch of people from workers, to managers, politicians. I think I still have it on VHS somewhere around here.
Michael Moore made his name 30+ years ago. I imagine anyone who cares about him is 60 years or older.
His TV show was VERY funny,but didn’t last long.
.
“Canadian Bacon” was mildly amusing in parts.
ANY former Navy SEALs in the employ of this pig , as security , should be shamed by their former team mates . So disgraceful that they value a paycheck from a deceitful Liberal pig over their own honor . Surely there are other jobs available for them ?
How will he eat now ?
I was living in Flint when he made Roger & Me.
The Mayor at that time said he wished Moore had made this movie about Youngstown.
