1. Yep..

[stavka]

2. Very unlikly....

people won't take their kids and parents (multiple times)

Moore has already been labeled "unamerican"

3. no

we are not as organized as the christian right..but that`s ok,at least we have opinions and we don`t rely on dogma in our daily lives.
it will be interesting to see the ratio of attendance to amount of theaters and the net money between the films. i think
the film will sell well and the rentals should be very good..then you have the amount of downloads on the film...

4. I don't think it will

I hope it does, but most Americans don't like facing reality.

5. yes, especially because viewers will be able to stand seeing it

more than once. "The Passion" is not a repeat movie, except for the most hard core RW Religious Nuts or those who love violence. F9/11 will have all kind of clever and subtle references that will bear repeat viewings. I've watched BFC several times, and each time find more great details that I missed before. MKJ

6. hope so

but it may be hard initailly because of the limited number of theaters showing it... unlike the Passion which occupied 2 screens in many multiplexes.

Not to worry, though, money talks. And as people flock to see this, and no doubt they will, word will spread ... more theaters, more money but best of all more minds exposed to the TRUTH!

7. As much as we'd like that, there's no chance.

It doesn't have months of constant, daily coverage on nearly every news station.

It doesn't have a big movie star doing interviews and looking halfway insane, thus fueling interest in the movie merely as curiosity.

And it doesn't involve God. At least not directly.

It's not incredibly violent (at least not all of it).

Lastly, it won't be on half of the screens at every megaplex.

8. I doubt it....I can't see little old blue haired ladies rushing out to it.

Unlike The Great Snuff Film.

9. Unlikely

F 9/11 is not being promoted near as much as The Passion.

10. Comparing F911 to The Passion is a little unfair...

Despite what many of you who have refused to even see The Passion before judging it as some sort of form of right-wing propaganda, The Passion actually slams the idea of love and forgiveness at its viewers.

To put it simply you see a man being tortured beaten and murdered, and yet he still cries for the forgiveness of his tormentors and preaches that loving those who only love you is meaningless....

It's no wonder that freepers and the squatters in the white house who call themselves good Christians are ignoring the true meaning and aspects of this movie.

11. The Passion had a greater distribution

F911 is being limited to "arthouse" cinemas whereas The Passion was shown in mainstream cinemas all across the country.

This will be a contributing factor to F911 falling short of The Passions hysteria.

12. hope so... if everyone on DU tries to bring...

3-5 people that wouldnt be going otherwise... we could pump up the numbers a bit...

maybe just wishful thinking lol

13. Not bloody likely! Anti-Semitic films always do better than documentaries

911 will only do US $50 million--and that's a generous estimate.
