That’s disappointing that we have 3x as many screens and just slightly more viewers.
All that means is that both films bombed. However, a doc generally has lower production cost so the anti-religion film is probably more profitable.
Personally, I think Zucker, et al, marketed this film poorly. They should have just sold the film as “the new comedy from the creator of ‘Airplane’ and ‘Scary Movie’”, maybe even called it “Political Movie.” Let people figure out it was conservative on their own. No one likes being proselytized to.
3 of our family going at 12:25 today...
...and buying the DVD as soon as it comes out.
That is what people generally call a “flop”
The wife and I saw this one last night and laughed all the way through it.
I saw it yesterday and it's really really good. The gags and jokes abound. I think a lot goes by you because it's rapid fire. What I'm finding is it's even funnier in retrospect (1 day, lol!) because the things you see on tv make you think of the way they were handled in the movie and it cracks you up. For instance, the way they handled the crowds of chanting protestors, or crowds of Obamabots chanting their mindless slogans. I saw a video of the crowd of protesters chanting at Palin's Dallas appearance on Friday after I saw the movie. You can't help but be reminded of the idiots in the movie.

You can see clear bias at Rotten Tomatoes. The bad part is that this is not showing at my local theater. Also check out the bias on “Fireproof”.
I saw AC last night and although it was entertaining, Kevin Farley is a pretty bad actor. At least in this role. I kept seeing Chris Farley. Im curious to see if Kevin ever lands another role after this.
The George Washington scene was amazing in my opinion though liberals will go in a tizzy about the graphical scene.
I had a foreign family next to me and they were cracking up. I think they were middle eastern but couldnt figure out where. They applauded at the end.
The Maher movie is going to be very profitable considering how much it was too make. My guess is it couldnt have cost much more than a couple million.
Amrican Carol has alot of big name actors, so that total is not very good for it. My guess is that it wont make back its production costs. Of course there always cable tv and DVD though.
We went to see Beverly Hills Chihuahua last night. Cute and fun movie and will definitely see American Carol this week.
My sis, BIL, step-dad and I all want to see it (I’ve only been to a few movies in the past several years, and, except for Hairspray, they’ve all been kids movies w my nephew). However, we’re booked this weekend, family is out of town next weekend, so we won’t be going for 2 weeks :-(
I may end up going by myself and then again w them as I’m anxious to see it.
Husband and I are going to go see it later today. I can’t wait!
I thought liberals were “open-minded, diverse and tolerant...” Surely, those characteristics will override any opposing thoughts to the Zucker film.

American Carol is not screening anywhere near my home in an L.A. suburb. Yes, this is ultra lib territory — but you’d think with as many theaters around as there are, they could’ve shown it in ONE. I’ll drive to the closest anyway — but not today.
Driving thru major traffic and expected rainstorm today to see Sarah Palin in person at a rally near Torrance. CA is not in play, of course, but I believe she is here to raise money —CA, despite being outvoted by the left, is still good for major contributions! The up-side is that we don’t have Obama criss-crossing the state non-stop looking for votes, as in the midwest. He’s got the votes locked up here; actually it isn’t him per se, ANY Dem would have the votes locked up.
I got this off Showbizdata:
5. APPALOOSA 1,045 screens / $1,600,000
7. FIREPROOF 852 screens / $1,265,000
9. AN AMERICAN CAROL 1,639 screens / $1,215,000
10. RELIGULOUS 502 screens / $1,110,000
I included Appaloosa because I’ve seen some Freepers recommending it.
Christians are an easy target for cowards like maher. It's very unlikely that the Amish, or the Mormons will slit your throat, issue a fatwah, or strap a bomb to themselves to avenge a verbal slight against their beliefs. This is exactly why spineless cowards like maher would never even consider confronting a jihadi to speak ill of their cult or of their beloved child molester, mohammed.
