Okay, this blog is not turning into the Al Gore fanblog, but seeing the Friday box office estimates, I can't resist commenting on it.
In my last entry on Al Gore's global warming documentary An Inconvenient Truth, I noted the three day estimates for last weekend was very impressive. In fact, they turned out to be even better. For the four day weekend (Monday was Memorial Day in the US), the Truth took in $367,311 in 4 theaters.
This weekend, the Truth expanded into 77 theaters, and according to Showbizdata, the documentary took in an estimated $412,000 this Friday, good for ninth place. The Friday numbers indicates an overall weekend well over a million dollars. A very impressive number given the still very limited theater count.
In other box office news, X-Men 3 took a nasty 77% drop from last Friday. I predicted the movie would end up with about $350,000,000 in my previous post. Obviously that's not going to happen now.
Monday evening update: For the entire weekend, the Truth took in $1,356,387 according to Box Office Mojo. Very impressive.
