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.
No it’s not. There are dozens of movies every year that get numbers like that, movies you never heard of because they aren’t wide release movies, but movies that exist all the same. There 230 movies released this year that have made less, it’s just not that big a deal.
the problem with the gloating is there is nothing to gloat about. It’s like gloating about the sun rising in the east. A movie that opened at 4 theaters and has expanded to 111 over the course of two more weekends is making the kind of money you expect from a movie opened at 4 theaters and eventually expanded to 111. It’s like getting excited about water boiling when heat is applied, it’s just not gloat worthy.
... and now the DVD's will go straight into the public schools.
I don’t think this will go DVD...but maybe I’m wrong. At best...it might sell 5,000 DVDs...mostly to far-left environmental groups who want a coffee DVD to show who guests come over to the house to visit. But he has to be scared that some folks might buy the DVD and make cuts from it to use for comical youtube episodes.
