Reply #21: I don't find this at all surprising.

People don't flock to documentaries, and they don't make that much money in the movie theaters. This particular film has had a lot publicity, which is a double edged sword in some respects. The righties won't go to see it because they think it is a political ploy on Gore's part. The lefties will HOPE that it is a political tease on Gore's part and will cheer it, but may not run to see it at the theater because they already know and understand the global warming threat. The blow-with-the-wind americans probably won't be interested in seeing it in the theater (no car chase or special effects), but will eventually pay to view it on DVD.

Just my take on it. :)
