This was the #3 movie in America on Monday, BUT was only $18,725 out of the #1 spot...could it hit #1 on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday? It’s possible...

This little movie isn't fading quickly, which I assume, is tweaking the 0bama camp to no end.
And of the top 10 highest-grossing movies on Monday, it was far and away the highest grossing per screen average. One thing’s for sure, as long as it keeps making money for the theaters, they’re going to keep it around.
I do have a confession to make, however. I saw the movie and keep nodding off. I don’t know if it was that I’d already read so much about various scenes in it before attending, or that I knew most of the Ayres/Rev. Wright/etc., stuff, or what, but I might as well have not spent the money for what I got out of it.
Every time Obama’s sonorous voice began, I would begin to drift off. Maybe that’s a good thing? I’m curious if anyone else has had this experience. Maybe I was just too tired to go to a movie that night?
On the other hand, the person with me who was less informed, both about the movie itself, and about Obama generally, claimed to like it.
