After only 2 weeks, it's already the 15th-highest grossing documentary of all time.

Look at the list closely, Expelled pulled in only $2800/screen. To theaters as empty as that you have to go down the list to #42 The Endless Summer II (which I recall bombed big time)

It's pulled in nearly $3 million in each of it's first 2 weekends, with almost no drop-off,

Check the dailies, it's dropped 50% from last weekend

The value, or lack thereof, of Expelled isn't really measured by box office receipts, although it is sucking badly.

The value should be measured by its arguments and scientific value it presents to the audience.

Darwinists are Nazis is not a good argument. Life is too complicated to have developed by itself is not good science. It's an argument, but only in the sense that an assertion that we don't really exist all, but are each having an elaborate hallucination is an argument.

Geez, could be, but would you like to show me some evidence of that?

ID doesn't offer evidence. It's not testable. It's not science, and any reasonable person would acknowledge that, even if they don't like it.
