Looks like the movie flopped hard.
3.4m debut with only $1,130 per screen (which is terrible)
Conservatives have parroted that the movie industry is assaulting America with its hedonistic values and that if it just made a movie which has the "same values" as America does (conservatives like to think of themselves as the only Americans) then it would be successful and revitalize the industry. They've been saying it for years and years. I really plan on rubbing this films failure in some faces :)

I have seen zero advertising for this movie. Plus the majority of Americans don't view documentaries. If this movie was a drama and had advertising on tv, it would have had numbers closer to The Passion of Christ, which grossed $610,000,000 and is the thirty-sixth highest-grossing film of all time. |
Really? I rarely watch television and saw advertisements on Comedy Central and The History Channel. I believe March of the Penguins made $77.4m in during its American run... I also believe Fahrenheit 9/11 earned $119.2m in the US/Canada.. so people will go see documentaries.. they just didn't want to see this one. By the way, I know Fahrenheit 9/11 had inaccuracies in it, so there's no need to point that out. |
I don't get Comdey Central and the History Channel like the majority of Americans. Michael Moore has a long list of documentaries , which people know him from. This was Ben Stiens first documentary. Political documentaries and cute animal documentaries are always going to have more viewer than science documentaries.
