After you buy and read Ann Coulter's book Treason, I'll pay for and watch Fahrenheit 911.

Really! How much of an $8-10 ticket will actually go into MM's savings or checking account? If it's like other movies, after distributors, after the venue, and after minimum screening numbers to pay off investors, marketing, production staff and the like, I'd be surprised if it was over $0.50. Maybe quite a bit less. For people on an investor site, these people are pretty clueless about how business actually works. For every turnover, there is usually a 200-300% markup to cover overhead and marketing, etc. If there are 3 intermediates, that is .33^3 to 0.5^3, or between 3.5 to 12.5% goes to MM's production company, or $0.28. to $1.00 (mean = $0.634). Considering I guessed $0.50 before I ran the numbers estimates, I was close.
