Re: My uneducated guess is that "Guys" will do $7 to $9 million in total box office. That would be excellent for a documentary. I'll bet it can do better. :) Michael Moore's worldwide sales with F-9/11 is now at $222 Million. Not bad for a slob from the Midwest.

My uneducated guess is that "Guys" will do $7 to $9 million in total box office. That would be excellent for a documentary. From a Fast Company profile of Mark Cuban: ""When we green-lit Enron, there was no meeting," he says, referring to the documentary about the Houston company's flameout that was released last April. "It was all email. 'Here's the guy, here's his background, here's the budget.' " Elapsed time: 12 minutes. When there's not a lot of red tape, Cuban says, "that is attractive to filmmakers." The movie's entire budget was around $700,000--a sum that wouldn't cover the catering on many movie sets--and Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room ended up grossing more than $4 million during its theatrical run." fastcompany.com
