[Snip] So, in that sense, it’s no surprise that Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 11/9 tanked in its whopping 1,719 theater wide release debut.

folks are even less likely to flock to an openly political documentary, and frankly even those on the left don’t necessarily want to pay to see a 125-minute crash course of the current horrors of the day. I’d gladly pay triple the ticket price to see a version of the movie without you-know-who babbling incoherently. I’d argue that Moore’s motives in making the movie were less about spreading the word through its contents than in using the film’s publicity tour to get the word out on the various news/media outlets.
It earned $1.051 million yesterday and will probably make around $2.89m for the weekend for a miserable $1,682 per-theater average. Although it’ll outgross Where to Invade Next ($3.9m in 2015/2016) and thus become Moore’s biggest-grossing doc since Capitalism: A Love Story ($14.3m) back in 2009. It doesn’t mean anything for the political left any more than the under-$6m performance of Dinesh D’Souza’s Death of a Nation ($5.87m) means anything for the political right. Neither has much of a chance of changing any hearts and minds. Fahrenheit 11/9 a relic of a time when we thought that movies could actually make a difference.

Since Michael slob Moore is a socialist he should be glad his drivel is not making any money
>>>Rating: R (for brief sexual images/nudity and language.)<<<
Okay, let me ask the obvious question. Why would a Film about Robert Ebert (RIP -The writer of Beyond the Valley of the Dolls BTW) have ANY Sexual Images and Nudity?
He was a raving lunatic Leftist, that we know.
If I were inclined to hear this type of “information” I can get it for free 24/7 on MSNBC, CNN, etc. why pay ten bucks for what we’re marinated in every day?
I’m guessing that it may have some segments of movie film that he either was involved with or reviewed.
Well, at least that rules out any Romantic scenes involving Mr. Ebert. Thank goodness.
Unless he was sexually involved with Gene Siskel of course.
The Bert and Ernie of Movie Reviewers.
I think both were straight.
>>>I think both were straight<<<
Who, Bert and Ernie?
:)
well who’s going to go see it? The left is already in full hatred and don’t need convincing. Conservatives get enough of that sort of thing from the MSM. Why pay for more of it?
From what I read from the radical leftist nutballs, Moore puts the blame of something on everyone - including Democratics. Well, ain’t no RAT gonna pay cash to listen to how they’re the problem. No way, no how. Thumbs down from everyone across the board.
I don’t know about Ebert, but Gene Siskal, was irate over the idiotic assertions that he was a homosexual.
That doesn’t surprise me. I liked Siskal.
All you of earth are idiots!
That’s not many people...
