I'm not going to beat this dead horse much longer.
The movie smashed all global records for an opening. It set records everywhere. If it closed right now, it would still be one of the highest grossing films in history.
It's perfectly fine for you to assail the content of the movie. Lord knows, it's only been done here in about 1000 threads so far.
If you want to pretend that nobody is watching it or that it will close in the next few days because of empty theaters, I guess I'm okay with that. That's your opinion and this place is all about opinions.
Global is the keyword. There is a huge populist (suckers)out there just ripe for the picking.
Don't let it be said that Americans stopped anyone from making a buck.
When you have to resort to the tired old statistical trick of citing the latest figure in nominal (i.e. non-inflation-adjusted) dollars as a "record", it's time to give up.
