By the way...can anyone provide numbers on how "The Day After Tomorrow" fared at the box office?

Let's hope that F911 goes by the same path.

The Day After Tomorrow made $153M at the box office. It cost $125M to make. Assuming $20-25M was spent on advertising, it made a profit of $3M.

If you annualize this return, seeing that this thing was in production for almost two years, that's a paltry 1.5% profit at best.

That's a flop.

But Moore's movie cost $6M to make and most of its advertising has been for free due to the manufactured "controversy".

If Moore only gets half the attendance his last film had, he will make a profit in excess of 200%.

Both films are left-wing propaganda, but one was made very efficently and one wasn't.

Correction. Last post should have read "in excess of 100%" not "200%".
