The libs will go and pronounce it a masterpiece and will vote as they always have. The curious will go and will see it as a hate piece and vote for Bush. The uninformed will go and believe at least some of it, but then not vote in November because they can't see much difference between the Bush and Kerry. The FEC will see it and ban it on July 30 as a violation of McCain/Feingold.

Fandango (online movie ticket seller) reported large numbers of block-purchases. This means that groups bought out whole sections of theaters, not individual ticket purchases. Also, I read that moveon.org had enlisted over 100,000 of its members to pledge to see it opening weekend. And I'm sure that many of the faithful went to see it two and three times to inflate the numbers.

Yep, the movie made money, but there's no reason to think it's popular with anyone who isn't already a loony.

Believe me... we want Michael Moore to be the face of the Democratic Party. The more publicity he gets the better. This film will fall like a rock in the next week. All of the committed Kool-Aid drinkers rushed to theaters this weekend.

What does it say about the Democrats when they have a candidate that nobody wants, their best hope for a VP is a Republican, and all of their press is about a past pompous lying blowhard (Clintoon) or present pompous lying blowhards (Gore and Moore)? Right now, the Democrats have only a limited cause for celebration: Moore's weekend box-office (or maybe Nader getting shut-out by the Greens).

It has benefited from HUGE publicity. It's numbers will be good enough to make Moore a profit, regretably, but it will fall off from here on out and be forgotten by next fall.

Spiderman will definitely knock it out of first place, and it will gradually fade, with respectable but not outstanding numbers.

It's not a matter of how well it opens, but rather how long it lasts. Does it sustain good sales or wither quickly? That's the key.

The Wayan brothers are hot. I think it was totally racialist and discrimnationary for Michael Moore to release his film the same time as they did.

Michael Moore - Not as good looking as Leni Riefenstahl.


Leni at age 100.

While it's dispicable that a "big fat stupid" communist like Michael Moore can make money denigrating an honorable man like President Bush, we should try to keep this "box office record" in perspective!

Yes, approximately 2 million American-hating leftists saw F911 this weekend. Contrast this 2 million with RUSH LIMBAUGH'S WEEKLY AUDIENCE OF 20 MILLION AND SEAN HANNITY'S WEEKLY AUDIENCE OF 12 MILLION!

[I've got to leave, but someone should also do an analysis of this 2 million as it compares to the number of people in this country// the number of adults over the age of 18 // the number of registered voters // the number of registered Democrats! This analysis will make 2 million MM fans look VERY insignificant!]
