Just think how great Canada would have been without Trudeau.
thinking about this movie and why it didn't do that good in theatres.
think the problem is its the summer and the typical movie goer is families or people looking for something to do. these people want to watch something fun and exciting not a documentary on the health care system. the movie company made a mistake releasing this "documentary" during the busy summer movie season.
this is the type of movie which will do better on video and on tv . thats when more people will watch it.
so while it says we're millionaires on paper I still drive a 13 year old car, my wife still drives her 42 year old car (which is pretty cool, IMHO), and we fly coach when we fly.
A million bucks just isn't as impressive as it used to be
Wow talk about lying and fudging numbers.

Now the truth.
Sicko opened in 441 theaters,grossing 4,4 million,an average of 10,200 per screen

SiCKO achieved the third highest per screen of the weekend.
Flatlines?
The bad box office news?
Hardly
the second highest opening weekend of all time for a documentary, next to Moore's previous film Fahrenheit 9/11. The weekend grosses more than doubled the projected box office revenues projected by NRG.

SiCKO built off of its success last weekend when it grossed an incredible $70,000 during its exclusive opening in one theater at AMC Loews Lincoln Square in NY and sold-out all 43 sneak previews across the country, bringing its cumulative gross to $4.6 million. SiCKO had an impressive less than 30% drop this weekend at the AMC Loews Lincoln Square, despite expanding into additional runs.

he's finshed, the fat ass has over stayed his welcome.
That picture looks like Moore in drag.
The best thing I like about Micahel Moore is the apoplectic rage he elicits in Conservatives. I guess Moore and Anne Coulter are like matter and anti-matter. Or do either of them really matter?
Hi folks, long time no see.
M M matters more to those outside the US then those inside the US.
As for how great the movie is doing let rem. tickets are like 8.50 per person. So of course the numbers are high. Still I'm sure M M thought his movie ooohhhh excusse me his documentry would out do his first but it didn't and now he's all mad.
