Shut Up and Sing $174,891 10/27/2006

[Izzy Dunne]

I'm in favor of "Shut Up and Go Away".

[Izzy Dunne]

the concert date has been scrubbed for an RV Show.

"Natalie, you've been out-polled by a Winnebago!"

[ilovew]

Lol! Me too...

Nnot only are they box office poison, but they are also concert venue posion, radio poison, award show poison, etc etc. Its over for them. Its been over for them. The ONLY reason their album did as well as it did (a 60+% loss in revenue from pre-pandering to anti-american sentiment albums) is because Uunless the chicks continue to keep prostituing their art out to anti-american sentiment, there is no one left to buy that tripe.

[bannie]

So sad that people aren't willing to pay to sit through a self-serving lengthy, whining, clinging advertisement for some women who weren't smart enough to discern their only stock in trade.

Lesson Learned. Don't invest any money in the Chicklets. You will lose your a$$.

They havnt sold out the venue here in Los Angeles either. One of the "soft rock" stations (Clear Channel owned 98.7 Star.....yes the same Clear Channel that they campaingn against) is giving thousands of tickets out and a chance to win Natalies Honda Prius. Natalie really drives a gas guzzling Range Rover...but the "prius" makes her look so much more "liberal" to the sheeple. I thought about trying to win it, just to set it on fire...mainly for the entertainment value of seeing her throw yet another angry tantrum. LOL~

Not even the liberals care about the chicks. A Diner job for the chicks now. "Kiss my grits"

[Republican Wildcat]

Excellent news.

[elhombrelibre]

It seems like an awful lot of money to me, especially when one thinks of all the starving people in the world. It's a comedy, right, like Borat?

[robertpaulsen]

Now this IS Bush's fault!

[Overtaxed]

"Shut Up and Sing "

I'd be happy if they just shut up.

[xarmydog]

We refer to that as not do-dooing where you eat!!

[Hildy]

Looks like the documentary received death threats...THAT WERE FOLLOWED UP ON!! ROFLMAO!!!

[VA Voter]

Best one. :)

Unfortunately, it's too early to call this a bomb. Here are some reasons:

* The "same day" box office is increasing from week to week. The movie actually seems to be gaining momentum;

* The marketing strategy seems to be the same as for "Bareback Mountain" -- a roll-out in a small number of theaters, while the "buzz" builds;

* As another poster mentioned -- it'll be popular at lefty film festivals. Awards mean more sales;

* The Mojo figures are for domestic sales only -- because of the anti-American (or at least anti-Bush) theme; this will be popular in foreign markets;

* Liberals will go to it because they're obligated -- or to "prove a point". Just like they went to BBM, the Gore fest on climate, and the stupid movie about electric cars;

* Limited theatrical release is a common strategy for developing a market for DVD sales (and Internet distribution);

* The Ditzy Chicks purport to be musicians -- they won't convert a bunch of urban liberals into C&W fans; but they can switch genres to pop. The movie will help them make that switch.

Too early for Schadenfreude.

*smirk* *snort* Couldn't happen to more deserving folk. All bow to mighty Free Republic!!
[I'm saddened to know that somehow FR's power is not omnipotent. We neglected to get this last election to go our way....]

The Kennedy family will no doubt present them with a Profile in Courage award, like they did with the judge in Alabama who ordered the removal of the Ten Commandments from the courthouse.

This just proves that 90% of the US are Freepers ....
