In the end "Passion" will still be waaaaaay ahead of "Fahren-crap 911."
To: kattracks
Have you noticed the new Lay's chips commercial? It shows an animated map of the U.S. with all the states starting red and turning blue. It's a patriotic-themed commercial, with lots of flag-waving.
Subliminal messages???

When his so-called documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11" first opened, Michael Moore said it was a "red-state movie." I don't think Moore meant the 2000 election results map.

I don't think Moore meant the 2000 election results map. I think that's exactly what he was referring to. What else could it have been?

Surveys by ticket Nielsen EDI showed that the top theaters for "Fahrenheit" have been in urban, traditionally Democratic strongholds, including Manhattan, Los Angeles, San Francisco and the Bay Area, Chicago and Boston.Red states, as in commie/leftist.

Hopefully they will turn blue, since that color is traditionally used to identify the incumbent, IIRC.

I've noticed all the returns for F911 on boxofficemojo are 'estimates' going back to June 25.
Can't these people count money--or are we being scammed?
To: RockinRight
F9/11 doesn't have a prayer of being as big as "Passion".. Passion is a film that will be bought and watched for generations.. F9/11 is electioneering propoganda that will be forgotten a few years from now at best.

"The Passion," is the year's biggest money maker with a startling $609 million in worldwide ticket sales since it was released in February. "Fahrenheit" - the most popular feature-length documentary ever - had sales in North America of $80.1 million in just three weeks.
Class: In what way is "Fahrenheit" a "documentary" more than "The Passion?"

The "red/blue state" thing is a myth to begin with.
The real map is the red/blue COUNTY-BY-COUNTY post election map. That's the one that shows that in every state, the Democrats controlled the parasite nests (cities) while the Republicans owned the great expanses populated by working, taxpaying traditional American families. Obviously, the states with the most and biggest parasite nests generally were "blue" states.

It is already being forgotten.
It's the 'Private Parts' phenomenom all over again - - big opening fueled by the star's fan base, then a quick dropoff.

The commie dominated states? I never did agree with labeling our states red, it would have been more fitting switched around.

When I saw the first F11 commericial, I noticed he tried to make the film look like a patriotic movie. The commercial gave nothing of the idea of the real message. I immediately thought he was trying to lure in conservatives - thinking they were going to see a patriotic movie - and then destroy their faith in the president.
Tied together with the "red state" comment, I get the impression his goal was to crack the conservative base - make a grand gesture towards the forwarding of socialism in America.
If that's correct, he's failed.
To: kenth
This year, they should be switched around. The red/blue color schemes had traditionally been blue = incumbent party, red = challenger party.
