You aren't missing anything. Last weekend was never going to be a good weekend for a movie like Atlas Shrugged, due to Good Friday and Easter Sunday. Too many other activities going on.

I checked the box office numbers, and the per screen gross was in the middle of the pack.

I went to see it in Grapevine, TX last Weds nite. There were about a dozen folks in our theatre, but there weren't more than 2 dozen cars in the entire parking lot, and it's a 17 theatre cinema.

Word of mouth takes time, especially for those who have no idea of what Atlas Shrugged is. It was mentioned again on Fox & Friends this morning.

I'm going to see it again this weekend. My wife and 9 YO son both want to see it again (3rd time for my son & me), and a sister-in-law is going to join us.

I'll admit my bias, but patience is important here.

Everyone should see it just to support the movement.

I saw it and it was fine. Parts were chillingly on-point relative to the demogoguery coming from The Empty Suit.

Saw it the third time last Saturday and was surprised to see the theater 3/4 full for an afternoon matinee. There were big lines with little kids to get in to see Hop, though. I think I’ll see it again tomorrow night. I loved Atlas, and it’s gotten better each time I’ve seen it.
