does the math add up? I don't normally follow show-biz so wouldn't know how they come to these figures, but it strikes me that the theatres where the flick DID open, at $10 a ticket, would have each (on average) had to have had 2752 paying viewers over the weekend?
OR is this something that will be corrected on Page D-34 of the newspapers in a few months, say, late November?
Look at this at a new angle and 22 million dollars at the box office is NOT a political victory.
Assuming that the vast majority of the people that saw it over the weekend were people that voted for Gore or Nader in 2000, which would equal 53,338957 people. Now take the box office money rounded-up to the nearest million ($22 Million) and devide that by an average of $7 a ticket and you get 3,142,000 people who saw it. Less than 6 percent of the liberal to leftist base has seen it. The movie is preaching to the choir, but most members of the choir are missing.
