Al Gore film opens strong

[alarcojon]

The Al Gore documentary An Inconvenient Truth also opened impressively, despite playing on only four screens in New York and Los Angeles.

The film, part of the former US vice-president's campaign to raise awareness about climate change, took an estimated $365,787 (£195,115) between Friday and Monday.

Note....this is the end of a story about how great X-Men and DaVinci Code are doing at the box office, but I thought it was worth a mention.

3. A bunch of K.C. will see it. Everyone shoul talk about it, because Corpor

ate Media will ignore this movie, so We have to commit to talking about An Inconvenient Truth and talking it up to others.
