Okay, in fairness, "Sicko" was shellacked by wizard Harry Potter, the flexible Transformers, and the rodents in Ratatouille, but after 4 weekends, it is hanging in the top 10 movies on 754 screens. Not bad for a documentary (and one I still haven't been able to see). "Sicko" on a per screen basis did better than, "Live Free or Die Hard", "Evan Almighty", "1408", "Knocked Up", "Licensed to Wed" and new release "Captivity".
Hello Marcus Theaters??!!
And Sicko focused on insured people. Moore could have made a much angrier movie with stories of the lack of access to care by poor people like Deamonte Driver.
ReplyDeleteI highly recommend seeing Evan Almighty. It displays liberal religous values in a very humorous manner.
