The Rational Response Squad is a group of atheist activists who impact society by changing the way we view god belief. This site is a haven for those who are pushing back against the norm, and a place for believers of gods to have their beliefs exposed as false should they want to try their hand at confronting us.

Religulous makes it to the top 10 on just 500 screens. Not bad.

That's $3.5 million since Friday and in limited release. By comparison, Kirk Cameron's Fireproof did about twice as much business last weekend with more than 800 screens and Expelled opened with just 2.8 million, despite opening on twice as many screens as Religulous. The production budget was 2.5 million, so it's already well on its way to breaking even (I can't find marketing costs figures, but they're likely to be comparable with the production budget). It isn't unreasonable to think that an expanded release will make some serious money and convince the folks who run the studios to try a little old fashioned plagiarism.

The only part that sucks is

The only part that sucks is that Religulous is not yet in Wichita. I'll check and see if we're one of the places that will receive it this Friday, vice last Friday...but somehow I'm not optimistic.

Oh, well...I suppose there's always DVD.
