Too bad, so sad.
Ironic that Al Gore has more box office power than DiCaprio. If Cameron did it over again he would cast Gore in Titanic.

yeah but now they wrote an article about it and people will go see it to see what all the fuss was about... rigged I bet!
A recent poll of American voters was instructive. While they did generally believe in global warming, on a list of 25 priorities for Congress to work on, global warming was 23rd on the list.
Don’t tell Leo, but his ‘11th Hour’ has gone up in smoke.
$417K? That isn’t enough to pay for Lenny Dicaprio’s hair gel for the year!
No! Absolutely not! They will keep up the drum beat, only louder and more insane. The Religion of Gaea will not falter. True believers will pour their hearts, souls and bank accounts into this black hole. I hope they funnel all their collective billions into this fraud. They deserve to get their comeuppance..............
We really shouldn’t do this. It makes us look stupid. It’s an arthouse picture, it wasn’t supposed to make millions, making over $400 grand with a widest release of 111 theaters is actually pretty damn good, not awesome but nothing to cry about. Gloating over the “failure” of a movie that’s wasn’t supposed to “succeed” is just dorky, not every movie is trying to make $100 million, in fact the vast majority of movies release (especially these kind of semi-indies) have no pretense to anything even close to that.
Someone should tell this little twit DeCaprio that just because he has “earned” oodles of dough playing make-believe for dumbed-down people that all and all he is an uneducated leftist blowhard with no actual knowledge inside his melon. Same for ALGore and the rest of the “global warming” hysterical hypocrites. I love it.
Algore is big enough to be the Titanic.
Stoat - Well Said!
Sorry but $417K in 18 days is not merely some “arthouse” number, it’s a complete disaster for any film that doesn’t go straight to DVD. As for the supposed unseemliness of gloating, well when Hollywood leftist twits who know less than I knew when I was 12 years old fall flat on their faces trying to preach to the masses..... I will feel free to gloat for a few moments, thank you.
There are some movies that generate more revenue for the reviewers (who are saying how much it sucks) than for the actual movie makers.
This is one of them.
