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.
According to Deadline Hollywood, Gore’s sequel “grossed $900K, averaging $5,000 (per screen). That brought its cume (cumulative) over seven figures, landing at $1,052,000. Its weekend gross placed it 15th in the overall box office as of Sunday morning. Paramount said it will expand the title to over 500 locations next weekend.
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.”
“By filling theaters, we can show Donald Trump and the other climate deniers in the White House that the American people are committed to climate action –– no matter what they do, say, or tweet!” Gore wrote in an email alert sent to his supporters on Friday August 4th, the day of his nationwide opening.
Think of all the electricity that gets wasted by movie theatres showing the film
to empty cinema rooms.

LOL, is that like #15 out of 3? You know the Media, and how they work.

Tooooo funny!
Gore should not accept this... he should immediately send a team of lawyers to contest the results, and not have movie goers go disentheaterized. He must demand an immediate recount (at selected theaters).
You can sure see the “Professional Reviews” trying to prop up this dead cat on Rotten Tomatoes.
Was it in 3-D?
It could be scarier in 3-D.
"I'm so pissed off I could shit bricks...!
They bought tickets Valarian but meant to support my film!
Good point. If Algore really believes his crap he ought to tell the theaters to turn off the air conditioning in the rooms where his movie is being played. For the cause.
and I bet Al already banked his cut ,the rest can fight over the ,ah Hmmm
I see what you did there.
[By filling theaters, we can show Donald Trump and the other climate deniers in the White House that the American people are committed to climate action ]
Yes, and you will fill my wallet too, suckers!
As someone quipped on TV this morning, his first movie predicted New York would be flooded by now - people probably couldn’t get through the water to get into the theaters......
$5000 per screen is not bad compared to all but Dark Tower. Just 180 screens
