In reply to the discussion: House With a Clock in Its Walls tops box office as Fahrenheit 11/9 fizzles [View all]Cha
(295,926 posts)95. Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 11/9 sold about 45 tickets per theater last night.
Comment found on The Obama Diary after someone posted.. they "wouldn't see it if it were free!"..
Neither would I. Heard a caller (female) on Stephanie MIllers show late last week. She had seen it on Wednesday. What she said is exactly what all of us expect. He really goes after President Obama and the Democrats
..lots of blame on them for Trump.
Stephanie has been doing commercials for it often because Im sure hes bought time on the Progressive Radio stations. Stephanie handled it well, easier since she hasnt seen it yet. She stressed, as she always does, this is NOT the time to blame and pick sides. This is the time to stick together and get this done. This morning, Tom Perez was on her show and she mentioned it to him. He, too, handled it well. He moved on to more important topics. I hope it continues to be a big flop!

M. Moore must really hate Mueller's Russian Investigation and all that's been revealed.
Jane Mayer was very busy this weekend - yes, the Russians stole the election for Trump

OP
For a documentary that attempted a nation wide rollout not favoured for documentaries, not bad.

The prediciton was for 5 - 8 million for its opening wk, so it's not OK. Far from it. It is a flop

At an average ticket price of $12, that's 150 per theater over three days - 50 per showing.
