Investor’s Business Daily with their take:
“Sicko” is bombing – financially and politically. After three weeks in wide release, it has managed to scrape together just $15.8 million in box office receipts. For most documentaries, that would be a notable take. But given the expectations, this is an enormous failure.Box Office Mojo, which tracks ticket sales, notes that the movie will struggle to match “Bowling for Columbine,” Moore’s ill-fated call for stricter gun control laws.
Democrats, meanwhile, are stepping back from the movie’s main message – that the nation’s health care system is so corrupt that only a complete government takeover will suffice.
