I think we can now accept that Gore's movie is a box office dud. In its 5th weekend, the film shed 3/4 of its screens (down to 127) and 3/4 of its weekend box office (down to $83,951). That may seem like it held its own on the continuing screens but I'm sure we can assume that the 1/4 of screens that kept it were the best 1/4 to begin with. Even here, in superliberal Madison, WI, it had been on four screens and it lost them all.

Before I had predicted a ceiling of $5 million domestically for the movie. That has proved wildly "optimistic" and I now am saying it will not reach $3.5 million. Its total through Sunday was $3,329,343. With continuing totals like Monday's $13,285, its now on life support. Adjusting for inflation, it will do less than 1/8 of the first film.

I will mention that the person to whose posts I had been responding had his posts removed for not meeting the civility standards of this site so some of my comments are lacking the total context of all the comments.
