Yeah well if you look at the comment I made a page or two ago about the guy complaining that liberals in Hollywood wouldn't give him a 50 million budget, you'd see that he clearly didn't deserve one and the free market won out here.Mr_Adams wrote:Haha, a movie with a smaller production budget than most movies have in their advertisement budget and Greecepwns won't shut the hell up over it not making money. IT'S AN INDEPENDENT FILM, THESE HARDLY EVER MAKE MONEY.

I'll watch it whenever I can find a torrent before I make final judgement.

GreecePwns wrote:Source? Sorry but maybe your numbers include the recent weekend.
Atlas Shrugged Producer: "Critics: You Won"
"Atlas Shrugged" was the top-grossing limited release in its opening weekend, generating $1.7 million on 299 screens and earning a respectable $5,640 per screen. But the the box office dropped off 47% in the film's second week in release even as "Atlas Shrugged" expanded to 425 screens, and the movie seemed to hold little appeal for audiences beyond the core group of Rand fans to whom it was marketed."
It goes on to say later that it has made $3.1 million (as of April 26 I believe)

Total Grosses Domestic: $3,947,827
Domestic Summary Opening Weekend: $1,686,347
It's been out for 3 weeks. Opening weekend what 1.7 mil. The next 2 weeks are 2.3 mil more, making the average after the opening week 1.15 mil, which seems strong for something opening to 1.7. More weeks will roll by, more millions will come in.

Let's not forget that final production cost will be around $25 million.
(...and before you blow a nut, that figure comes from Producer John Aglialoro and the movie website)
Ah the irony that the film championing the ideals of free market capitalism and anti-government sentiment, the film darling of the Tea Party movement, might have trouble balancing it's own budget.
I say, the public shrugged.

And the films producer, John Aglialoro, said estimated costs closer to $25 mil...

No, Chicago School of Economics pornography is not my thing.

Do you know anything about the ideas in the book?

Why do you label Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged as "Chicago School of Economic pornography"?
