The author is trying to downplay how badly it’s doing. The movie was projected to earn $8 million.
Scott Mendelson is a far-left wacko, no question. The sad thing is, I enjoy reading his box office analysis as he offers a very astute take on the movie industry from a business perspective. But when he slips his politics in, it sorta ruins it for me.
That is LESS than 100,000 people. Nationwide.....
I think Mr. Donut has overplayed the “Fahrenheit” bullsh*t. Even the potheads are sick of it.
Political films preach to their choirs. No one goes to see the opposite view’s films.
barack obama can’t even draw more than a thousand people to his campaign rallies. A Michael Moore anti-Trump movie bombs during the biggest mid-term election of our lives and we’re supposed to believe that there’s a Blue Wave coming. Anyone who believes the Blue Wave myth is either a moron or a progressive troll.
Oh well, as Nelson would say . . . “HA HAAA!”
I bet James O’Keefe would have a better showing at the Box Office if he were to come out with a full length documentary on the Deep State.
By now, most thinking folks realize what a horse’s ass Moore is and ignore him.
The problem with liberal garbage, from a sales perspective, is that people can get it for free.
Michael Moore’s movies, even Fahrenheit, were duds.
The Government subsidized his movies.
Schools were coerced to buy it.
It’s what is already known by the other side, and it’s also not much of an escapism for a film. At this point I would go to theaters if they simplyou put an old movie in theaters. I don’t care for all the remakes anymore.
This isn’t good for Mikey. His food bill alone must be enormous.
Every liberal school and library in the country will buy 20 copies of the DVD.
Duh....Michael Moore.....Where is this big Democrat Party “Blue Wave” you low life Democrat Scum & vermin have been bragging about.
It ain’t in your movie which has failed out of the gate, it ain’t in Obama rallies which barely get a 1,000 attendees, it ain’t in Clinton rallies which attract 50-100 attendees and it ain’t in Biden rallies which attack 25-50 attendees.
Mikey, Mikey Mikey, where is the grand, great, Democrat Party, “Blue Wave”? Mikey, maybe you should implore or beg Pelosi & Schumer to let take you over as the “rally” leader of the entire Democrat Party. What’s the worry and concern. Obama, Clinton, Biden don’t cut the mustard, for sure...maybe you can do better...Mikey!!!

I can see why this one is also not doing well.
Since Michael slob Moore is a socialist he should be glad his drivel is not making any money
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?
