Been away for a few days, relaxing and ignoring things... was surprised to see how much of an effect F/911 is having in the US.

22 Million opening weekend is huge, the reactions (as reported here and elsewhere) seem to be all in the "very big" category, and I have had two people email me today and recommend I go see it.

It will almost certainly drop quickly in the next couple of weeks, except that limited release should keep the dollars per screen up for a while.

Will it have an effect on the election? Considering the plan is to have this OUT of the theaters and into DVD release just in time for the election period, I think you will see the issues raised in the movie becoming talking points between now and then, and having a definate influence on the agenda, at least short term.

More importantly, it arms pro-Kerry people with a bunch of "why bush is a loser" points without kerry having to say them - little potential for negative back spin on this one.

I would like to point out that months and months of negative campaigning from the Bush side has done little to change the polls, only the death of the beloved Ronald Reagan was able to boost him temporarily. Other than that, it seems that Kerry is playing the best hand right now by just tossing out low cards and letting Bush put himself into the light as the attack dog candidate. It isn't working, and the last Bush ad I saw was actually a positive pro-Bush ad rather than an attack on kerry.

F/911 just points out the shortcomings, as someone said, letting Bush dig himself into a hole.

Anyone hear that they have asked Cheney to step down, not be on the ticket? They are trying to push up someone to replace Bush after the next term...
