“One man’s “magic” is another man’s engineering. “Supernatural” is a null word.” — Robert A. Heinlein
In terms of BOX OFFICE,
Expelled opened in the highest number of theaters of any Documentary - Political. See here :
http://boxofficemojo.com/genres/chart/?id=politicaldoc.htm
At this point in time, 2 days after opening, it already ranked 26th among all documentaries. If life time gross is 10 times opening, it could well to go to number 3 among all documentaries, behind Fahrenheit 9/11 and March of the Penguins.
Also, I find it interesting to compare the ratings some sites give this movie.
Rotten Tomatoes’ critics rank it at 9%
At Box Office Mojo, 66.4% of viewers give it A’s against 28.7% who gave it F’s
It seems that Expelled’s viewers are even more polarized than Fahrenheit 9/11.
As a point of comparison,
66.4% of viewers have given Expelled an A so far compared to 46.5% to Fahrenheit 9/11.
