The point of the DaVinci Code is that moviegoers ignored the reviews and saw the movie anyway.
And what is happening with the Chick's right now is that Red State America is ignoring the fawning reviews of the liberal media and blowing off the chicks. The Red State sales are a disaster. It's not just that they're not sold out. But that in certain markets that sold out in an hour last tour, 90% of the tickets are still available right now.
90% unsold? That is bad. I retract my skepticism!
