A reader tipped me to this -- Algore's An Inconvenient Truth is currently doing some crummy biz at the box office.....

--Bryan at Hot Air, June 1

Perhaps not since "Gigli" has a movie so highly anticipated by the media done so little at the box office....

--Ken Shepherd at The Right Angle (blog of Human Events Online), June 13

UPI reports that Al Gore's movie, An Inconvenient Truth, hasn't done so well after a promising start...

It's no shock, I suppose, that most people aren't interested in seeing propaganda films about the weather.

... the film's perfomance has become pathetic....

...An Inconvenient Truth has grossed $15 million in the U.S., and it is projected to earn another $10-$15 million with its release overseas next month (along with nobody-knows-how-many-more-million when the DVD arrives in the fall).... The movie has sped by Hoop Dreams and Super Size Me at the box office, has just passed Madonna's Truth or Dare to become the fourth-highest-grossing non-IMAX, non-concert documentary of all time, and may even have a shot at snatching third place from Michael Moore's Bowling for Columbine.
