Lions for Lambs per Theater Box Office is Tanking
Spreadsheet analysis from Box Office Mojo

Posted on 11/19/2007 8:52:56 AM PST by VA Voter

Lions for Lambs ranked 19th in the average total box office proceeds per theater per day over the 11/16-11/18 weekend. Because of the large number of theaters carrying this film it ranked 8th in gross proceeds.

Box office per theater is what theater owners care most about and this poor showing will hasten the dropoff in total theaters carrying this bomb.

Exactly! Are you ready to sacrifice?

No, I'm saving my money for the Hillary campaign. I'm not going to donate it - she's going to come and take it. Easier for everybody that way... ;-)

In the case of this movie it would have to hit the 99 cent rack at the dollar store before I would buy it.....maybe.

Even if they paid me to buy the DVD, I still wouldn't invest the two hours of my life that I'd never get back on watching it.

Maybe Hollywood will figure out that if they want to act like fools, they’ll look like fools. Nawwwww......most of the actors don’t even have a high school education....let alone any higher education. I wonder what it’s like to convince yourself that you belong on a pedastal?

There are movies which are impossible to watch. This is one
fo many anti-war/Bush movies which tanked.

Want a real clinker? “Redacted”.

I don’t believe the moderate liberals appreciate
this these movies either. The story lines desintegrate into childish rantings, not well crafted stories.

I actually thought V for Vendetta was a very good movie...I dont think it was a slight against conservatives at all...I think there were some jabs at both sides but certainly not fully liberal...

Saw “Lambs” at a screening in NYC with a friend and we laughed our asses off during the ridiculous preaching. We were practically accosted outside by NYU leftists who yelled “f**king fascists” at us. It was great!

Actually, it’s not a terrible rating for an agenda film. But, to buy into the agenda, you have to hate America . . . . . . kinda like the Hollyweirders who made this POC!!

So, are you saying that giving the money to a panhandler wouldn't be a better use of the 99 cents?

I'm just messin' with you!!

NO SURPRISE....Americans have caught on and are not interested in seeing a commie hate America movies. All those un American commies need to move to another country. Cuba would be a good place.

I could spend that two hours watching paint dry and it would still be a more productive use of my time.

The true essence of liberalism is that everyone else should scrifice, while you should continue receiving monthly distributions from the generation skipping trust set up by your great-grandfather.

I personally want to recommend this wonderful movie.

I’m pretty sure that it is anti-American of course, this is vital to presenting any issue of real importance.

I’m pretty sure it is boring because if it had engaging characters or a workable plot line people might miss the statements of political and social awareness.

The thought that the ignorant and unaware would miss this important work causes me great pain.

My own friends, of course, don’t really need to go see the movie since they are already socially aware.

Sooo..... I want all the ignorant and unaware people reading this post to make sure to go to this movie. If you are well-informed and thoughtful, this post and this movie are not for you.

Hate to see good information like this not stand out because of plain text formatting...

Hope you don't mind if I "pretty-print" your data. :-)

I’m glad to see Bella’s still doing well at the box office. If you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend it. Take your teenagers. I went with my daughter — she loved it.

Now I'm really jealous. I can do the spreadsheet work fine, although your presentation is better than I would have done. I've let myself be convinced that embedding images into a thread will take more time to learn than I want to invest. Thanks for the "pretty-print".

Gotta disagree with you! The whole premise of the film was that we have nothing to fear from Islamic terrorism or Cultural Marxism, it's those evil conservatives and Christians who are the threat to liberty. Any film where one of the "heroes" is a homosexual who risks his life to protect a copy of the Koran, and where we're encouraged to cheer while a terrorist blows up icons of Western Civilization, is depraved.
