“Expelled” Continues to Surge at Box Office

Already the 7th most popular political documentary of all-time, Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed is continuing to surge at the box office.

In a historical comparison, Expelled’s take on opening weekend was second only to Fahrenheit 9/11 which had scores of positive reviews and loads of pre-opening hype–a stark contrast to Expelled. Expelled’s opening weekend numbers were more substantial than Michael Moore’s Sicko, Bowling for Columbine, and Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth combined.

After an excellent opening weekend, Expelled is still going strong and is currently fourth nationally in per screen income averaging better than $220 per screen since the weekend.

  1. Hilarious spin. This POS had more promotion and more theaters than amy other doc in history. It also bussed in audiences to artificially inflate the numbers and it still died miserably. Nobody went to see it but the church groups and the Christian schools student hostages. According to the early reports, it’s no longer even in the top 20 for its secomnd weekend. This thing won’t even make back it’s overhead. Hilarious to try to spin it as a hit, though.
