I just went to his ticket site and found that they still list several Kerasotes theaters, either to try to prove some odd point or to keep his numbers higher than they should be. Lefties are obsessed with numbers ( quantity always above quality ), provided they prove their point.
We need an investigation into the underhanded tactics used to hype this film atrocity. Probably "creative accounting" procedures are being used to tally the take.
Any of the publicly-held companies connected with it----such as Lion's Gate, the distributor, and other Moore and Weinstein companies-----who might use false and misleading figures in financial reports to shareholders are subject to SEC oversight.
And if Moore and the Weinsteins claim to made XXXX amount of dollars, we need to know whether they are reporting these amounts to the IRS.
Of course, we know that in Follywood, there's numerous ways they fudge the figures so that even films taking in millions of profits are made to look like losers....so the Hollyweird wheelers and dealers won't have to pay off investors.
One notorious case involved actor Robert Wagner, an investor in an Aaron Spelling production, who ended up suing b/c Spelling cooked the books to stiff investors and keep all the profits for himself. (Spelling cultivates a reputation as a Hollyweird success story. Now we know why.)
Lastly, the modus operandi Moore used to finance the film could also be subject to US banking laws.
