Grosses came out today. I was off on my estimates, the movie did a “robust” $9.6 Million. A bomb considering the Stars and budget. It’s downhill from there.
You were not off by all that much, very close to final total.
After a DVD rentals, then DVD sales rounds, maybe even Oscar nods (nominations, at least) to Hanks, Hoffman and Roberts, it will be just in time for cable channels rotation in the election season, maybe even with cast’s and Sorkin’s commentary on the movie and how one Democrat Congressman singlehandedly with help of a CIA operative (think “Valerie Plame with a mustache”) defeated the Russians in Afghanistan, and if it were not for Reagan and Bush supplying Osama bin Laden with weapons and then abandoning Afghanistan to Osama, we wouldn’t have 9/11...
...just around election season, when most people will actually see the movie. Hollywood to the rescue, again, story to be continued... several months from now.
