Michael Moore’s little film was the number 1 movie at the box office Friday, raking in $8.2 million on 868 screens. That’s $9,447 per screen.
The distant number 2 was “White Chicks,” with $6.7 million on 2,726 screens – $2,480 per screen. I agree with my friend Dave that having those particular two movies at the top of the box office is a close to perfect encapsulation of American society.
So here’s my heartfelt message to Ray Bradbury, Christopher Hitchens, Dean Esmay, and Adam Yoshida: blow me.
I’m seeing the movie tonight. Extremely excited.
