Though it had major support from movie critics and the mainstream media, the public is continuing to reject Michael Moore’s new anti-Trump documentary “Fahrenheit 11/9,” a movie that reportedly compares President Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler.

In its second weekend in theaters, the film averaged a paltry $652 per theater — and it has fallen out of the top ten at the box office.
..
Its estimated earnings for its second weekend in cinemas is only $1.1 million, which brings its grand total to only $5.2 million.

Normally, a documentary filmmaker would be thrilled by these numbers, but remember — Michael Moore is not just any documentary filmmaker.

Moore remains the top grossing documentary filmmaker of all time — followed by conservative Dinesh D’Souza — and Moore’s films don’t get the typical limited releases of other documentaries.

“Fahrenheit 11/9,” for instance, is in a whopping 1719 theaters, which is an insanely high number for a documentary.

To break down the dumpster fire that this movie is even more, Friday night estimates had the film averaging $177 per theater.

That averages out to likely less than 20 tickets sold per theater — based on varying ticket prices across the country. This movie is basically nonexistent to the majority of America’s moviegoing public.
