Gore’s ‘Inconvenient Sequel’ meets with cool reception, placing 15th at box office

Of course, that’s Paramount’s fault. And Trump’s fault, and …

WaTimes: Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power” drew a lukewarm response from moviegoers, ranking 15th at the box office in its first weekend of wide release and earning tepid reviews from audiences.

The sequel to Mr. Gore’s influential 2006 climate-change documentary “An Inconvenient Truth” has earned about $1 million since its limited release July 28, prompting one critic to say Paramount Pictures “effectively sabotaged” the rollout.

“This was not supposed to happen,” said writer D.R. Tucker in the Washington Monthly.

In a Monday post headlined “Al Gore Gets Ripped Off Again,” he said Paramount had botched the nationwide release with its two-weekend platform strategy, instead of seizing on anti-Trump momentum to whip up enthusiasm with a splashy one-weekend launch.  more

  1. The movies failure is simple….It was too hot to go to the theatre…..NO….It was too cold…NAH, it was hurricanes and tornados….WAIT, it was really melting glaciers that unleashed a whole bunch of Penguins….might have been hairspray that unleashed the fluorocarbons…..IT’S THE ECLIPSE LATER THIS MONTH!!!….and Tipper’s hanging’ Chad….

  2. Long ago my lib sister let me (read forced me) to watch Gores’ first movie on DVD. I brought it home, pressed Play, and I remember waking up to pretty music, and as I looked at the screen the end credits were playing. Swear to God. I slept through 95% of that dumpster juice. It was That engaging.

    Yeesh.

  3. The crowd waiting for Dunkirk in the theater waded through the trailers for dozens of movies. Everybody scoffed at the algore trailer. An inconvenient fart. I think that was the name. Somebody shouted out fake news and we all laughed and watched the movie.

  4. The people who were kids the first time around were scared by the dire predictions only 10 years away. That was 12 years a go… I’m thinking they are are bit pissed at Mr. Chickenlittle.

    I’m old enough to have been that kid who thought we were heading into another ice age because the science officer of the Enterprise said the computer models foretold our impending frozen doom.

    FU spock, that one is on you. Double plus FU Michael Mann. I pray the day comes when I an pissed on your grave.

  5. People Who Have Passively Entertained Global Warming as a Real Threat, Are Starting to See That They Were Suckered in – Because Everyone Knew it was True ! Now They are Actually Looking For Themselves , and Not Listening to The Hard Core Lefties !!!

  6. “instead of seizing on anti-Trump momentum to whip up enthusiasm with a splashy one-weekend launch”

    If it’s scientifically sound why does its success depend on sentiment against a politician?*

    *Rhetorical question, we all know why. It isn’t science it’s politics.

  7. 🏆 AL GORE TOTALLY SHOCKED 🏆

    He thought all the anti-Trump protests would translate into BIG BUCKS at the box office to reeeeeeally stick it to Trump and that reporting would be the news narrative that would get more angry liberals to stampede the box office and so on.

    Nope. It’s a dude.

  8. It’s laughable to think fake paid Soros protesters represent a large number of leftists. A case of Hollyweird believing their own lies. There aren’t enough leftists who want to see Algore, a bloated hypocrite, ramble on about a fake crisis.

  9. hypocrisy doesn’t sell so well the second time around ?

    the man uses more energy than a 100 normal households and the hundred normal households all know it now.

    if he really believed his shtick he wouldn’t have bought a house on the beach.

  10. The reviews are in!
    – “Stupidest waste of two hours and $20 in cinematic history”
    – “Proof you can stack shit 6 feet high”
    – “Best. Comedy. of. the. year”

  11. Seems like even the morons and imbeciles are awakening to Gore’s grifting and are getting tired of making him a $Billionaire.

    Only took em … what … 30 years?
    And, of course, he still has a core of true-believing fellow travellers who will open their (and others’) wallets for him at the drop of a hat.

    It’s sad that anyone would be dumb enough to support this snake-oil salesman, but gratifying that more didn’t.
