I wouldn't worry. Harry Potter & Dodgeball have already made their money. The only competition Moore's film (term used loosely) had was White Chicks, which American audiences seem to be willing to forget. Who can blame them, it looks vapid.

Next week Spider-Man 2 opens. Fahrenheit 9/11 will seem like it came out a month ago.

At my local theater there was an enormous line of people waiting to get into the Saturday afternoon showing...I've never seen that kind of crowd for any film in recent years, not even Star Wars or Lord of the Rings. I suspect it was an organized group trying to create an impression, though - not casual movie-goers.

I went to see Shrek 2 instead... ;)

Which just goes to show... Jesus is more popular than Michale Moore.

Here in North Carolina, the Democrats are buying out the theaters and inviting the "loyal."

Note how it is one of only 2 top movies that dropped from Friday to Saturday, and it is projected to drop at the same rate other movies drop on Sunday.

This does not bode well for next weekend.

Lost 5% from the night before. Probably lose another 20% tonight and downhill from there.

The media pumped it up and then to try to keep some integrity reported the lies on the day of it's release, a Friday, also the second least watched night in network news, IIRC.

Saturday night being the first.

Could've been worse. There were some predictions being thrown around on Friday that it might do as much as $ 30 million.

The per screen average of $ 25, 000 is enormous though. White Chicks, the # 2 film, has a per screen average of $ 2, 700. The left wing nutjobs sure turned out en masse to vent their hatred. I just hope this piece of crap doesn't pass the $ 100 million mark.

At any rate it won't be # 1 for long: Spider-Man 2 hits theaters on Wednesday. Spidey has a way with defeating fat bastards: if he can take out The Kingpin, then he can take out Michael Moore. ;)

'Hardball with Chris Matthews' for June 23

CAMPBELL BROWN, GUEST HOST:

BROWN: Real quick—we‘re almost out of time—but how—how—given how the Bush administration is reacting to the 9/11 film, which is, you know, banning their staffs from going to see it or anybody...

HITCHENS: What?

BROWN: I know. Is it the right approach?

HITCHENS: I didn‘t know that.

But, if so, then it would be something to add to my long list of misgivings about the Bush administration.

Is there anyway to expose this comment for the trash it is? It is all the way to the bottom of the page!
