Also remember when Brokeback Mountain opened with $10 million, it was considered a rousing success. "It was a limited release--these numbers are GREAT! Blah, blah, blah"
So, we should consider the "source" of the negative reflection on the "United 93" Box Office.
I saw it Saturday. I think it is a "must see". Just reading the comments from fellow Freepers about the movie on the long United 93 thread this past weekend had me in tears, recalling the movie in total.

We lost a neighbor, and eight men from our church. One of my son's teachers was in the towers that day and survived.
Some of us don't need to see it. Some of us will always remember the heroes on Flight 93 and the Islamist threat without seeing a movie.

Where is that long thread you were talking about? I cannot seem to find it, and I want to read it too.
Here is the link to the thread:

It looks as if it is still going 760 posts! Wow!
