Investor’s Business Daily with their take:
“Sicko” is bombing – financially and politically. After three weeks in wide release, it has managed to scrape together just $15.8 million in box office receipts. For most documentaries, that would be a notable take. But given the expectations, this is an enormous failure.
Box Office Mojo, which tracks ticket sales, notes that the movie will struggle to match “Bowling for Columbine,” Moore’s ill-fated call for stricter gun control laws.
Democrats, meanwhile, are stepping back from the movie’s main message – that the nation’s health care system is so corrupt that only a complete government takeover will suffice.
