Hey, Michael, how’s the box office for your latest movie?
Michael Moore may hate capitalism, but he’s learned a valuable lesson by making Capitalism. That is, you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink. Or its Hollywood corollary, you can lead a whore to water, but you can’t make her drink. But we digress.
What Moore has learned is that no one wants to see a film that calls for the destruction of a system that made it possible for that film to be made.
The total box office for “Capitalism” dropped 39% this weekend despite playing in an additional 33 theaters. This weekend’s total box office was a mere $2,700,000 and the total two week take is just $9,095,000.
Think about it this way: At $10 per ticket, that means only 270,000 people saw “Capitalism” this weekend. That works out to 271 people per theater. Figure three showings per day Friday, Saturday and Sunday, that means a sad, sad average of 30 people paid to see each showing of Capitalism.
Of course, this is Hollywood. So a documentary that’s full of lies and distortions that no one want to see, well, that’s surefire Oscar material.

So how much did this moron spend on making the film in the first place? If Chubs was the only principle player, he may have turned enough of a profit to keep him in happy meals for the rest of the year. At least Moore “never misses any meals due to the unfairness of the capitalist system.” (Thanks to PJ O’Rourke for the quote)

Moore, just another boorish, imbecilic trashmonger. ’nuff said.
Wieght Watchers has done nothing for Michael Moore.
If Moore believes the crap he’s peddling, he shouldn’t make a dime from this movie.
Well, if Michael Moore is such a philanthropist how rich are all the people that were in his FIRST crapumentary? Remember that load of crap? “Roger and Me”.
Michael Moore has a lovely estate outside of Traverse City, MI. He supports a local theater there. The people of the area think it’s great that he supports that theater.
Jeff Daniels, a good actor and philanthropist, supports the Purple Rose Theater in Chelsea, MI, near where he grew up and near where he lives now. He is a bigger supporter for the new movie industry in MI then Michael Moore ever has been.
Mike could care less about the unemployed and down-trodden. He only uses them as stepping stones to make himself richer. Since he espouses the puke that the MSM likes so much, they seem to love his fat, bloated ass.
What a libtard he is. It is awesome how he can spend two hours tearing down the exact thing that brought his crapumentary to life. How smart is the movie industry to actually produce and market this? Pretty damn smart, if you ask me. They know that the American public is overwhelmed with dumbasses that would PAY to see this junk. $9M in the movie industry’s pockets is better than nothing is how they are looking at it.
Keep buying the tripe these morons spew. Soon we will all be eating soylent green.
Yeah, about that…
In “Capitalism,” Michael Moore was attacking: the Bush bail-out, politicians who supported the bail-out (claiming the Democrats hand delivered it to Bush), Chris Dodd (a Democrat!) for using his connections to get good loans while the same company was dealing out predatory loans, Wal-Mart and some other place taking out dead peasant life insurance policies (employers taking out life insurance policies on employees and collect massive sums of cash when they die while the loved ones get nothing from it), and the gross bonuses that these bank CEO’s are getting (which I believe a Republican politician spoke out against in a video this site highlighted). For real, guys. But don’t take that from me, I’m just a socialist fascist commie that actually paid money to see it, even though I voted for Ron Paul.
Now it may just be me, but it seems like no one who runs this site or frequents this site has ever seen this movie or ever will for that matter, since most of the criticisms with Moore are either “HE HAS A MOVIE CALLED CAPITALISM SO THAT MEANS HE HATES CAPITALISM OBVIOUSLY” or “HIS MOVIE DIDN’T MAKE AS MUCH AS ZOMBIELAND THAT MEANS IT SUCKED” or “HE’S FAT.” Really, I’m impressed with the amount of money grossed from this film considering how it’s a documentary (and no one goes to see a movie unless people are either fucking or exploding, preferably both) about capitalism, which in this country seems like one of the Ten Commandments. Really, this site should look into things and check facts before it criticizes something. That’s not very fair or balanced. (A)
