2016 movie---coming to a theatre near you----scary (compare, economy, children, wars)

[Frugality]

Already the No. 2 grossing documentary of the year,

No it's not. Your title is misleading and blatantly false. 2 million in movie sales is hardly a blockbuster, even for documentaries. Katy Perry's documentary which came out last month earned 11 million in one week. 2016 didn't even make it to the top 100 grossing films of the year.

Yes, luckily for Michael Moore, accuracy doesnt equate to revenues..

Already the No. 2 grossing documentary of the year, "2016: Obama's America" expands nationwide this weekend.

It's coming to my theater tomorrow. I'm going to see it. Dinesh D’Souza’s "Illiberal Education" is one of my favorite nonfiction books.

That's a pretty good spin....if you will also note, that the OP very clearly stated DOCUMENTARY, NOT movies, which is what you are linking to.

Documentaries are movies, and off the top of my head I can think of 3 documentaries that made more money. Justin Bieber's documentary made 100 million last year. Now that is blockbuster material. 2 million is not a blockbuster, even for a documentary

But that is not how they are grouped...Because you say so, does not mean it is true....

Many made more.....but your are not comparing apples to apples....that's my point....

Their clearly classifications of a FORM of movie.. Thats like saying the sun is no different than any other star, ignoring the fact that without the sun, we'd be dead..

With the average ticket price costing at least $10, how does 2 million in sales = millions of viewers?????

I was going to drive 3 hrs this week to go see it. but, now it will be coming to a theater near me. Going to see on Sunday. Looking forward to it. Everyone should know about the history of a president and who has influenced him, whether you like them or not. Wondering if any liberals will go. Are any of the Democrats on here curious as to what is in this movie? Anyone else going to see it.
