UK: Climate scam box office numbers

At the specialist end of the market, anti-global warming documentary The Age of Stupid opened with a seemingly stonking £102,000 from 20 screens, for a £5,088 average. However, it turns out that this figure includes more than £70,000 from a satellite-linked, solar-powered "people's premiere" at 53 cinemas the previous Sunday. Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth debuted with £64,000 from 18 screens back in September 2006. Leonardo DiCaprio's similarly themed The 11th Hour began with a disappointing £252 from its single-screen launch last March.
