After only 2 weeks, it's already the 15th-highest grossing documentary of all time. It's pulled in nearly $3 million in each of it's first 2 weekends, with almost no drop-off, which compares favorably with all the top-grossing documentaries. In fact, the opening weekend was the 3rd highest grossing documentary of all time.
And just to add a little pleasant schadenfreude to the mix, the highly-touted cultural-decadence-promoting "Shine a Light," the only other currently-screening documentary, is $1.2 million behind "Expelled" despite being in release for twice as many weeks.
13 10 Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed RM $1,379,000 -53.6% 1,041 -11 $1,324 $5,282,000
It was down by 56% this weekend ower last weekend. Heres the numbers just like I said
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)
