Capitalism has no love for Michael Moore, Either

The Hippopotanical Land Mass (aka Michael Moore) is feeling no love from our capitalist society: Even though he opened in twice as many theaters, it appears the "director" couldn't scare up any more interest in his film as Drew Barrymore's "Whip It."

Wait, Drew Barrymore had a movie premiering?

Two entries tied at No. 7: Drew Barrymore's directing debut, "Whip It," and documentary filmmaker Michael Moore's "Capitalism: A Love Story" each reported about $4.9 million in ticket sales.

"Capitalism" played in almost twice as many theaters as "Whip It," which had been expected to open in the high-single-digit millions ahead of the Gervais comedy.

"Zombieland," bolstered by strong reviews and advance buzz, matched its modest production budget.

None of the movies in the Reuters story had a blockbuster opening, with "Zombieland" the only one grossing over $20 million (which is all the better, considering Hollyweird's obsession with freeing douchebags like Mumia and Polanski and promoting idiots like Moore). But for "Capitalism" to have such a poor opening compared to "Whip It" and other films, especially when it was projected to gross twice as much, is a strong rejection of Moore and his stupidity.

Guess he shouldn't have made that crack about capitalism doing nothing for him.

Ah, well. He can still go back to his big mansion with its massive carbon footprint and the mountain of Hostess Ho-Hos he sleeps on every night, comforted in the fact that the process of garnering wealth by providing a product that somebody wanted to buy never did him any good.

'Cause he wouldn't want to be a hypocrite or anything...
