Some good news from Florida Citizens of Science

In other hopeful news: According to Box Office Mojo, the theatre count for Expelled in its third week has dropped by 386 to 655 and the daily numbers have dropped to $157,191 or $151/theatre for Monday, $162,396 or $156/theatre for Tuesday and $159,273 or $153/theatre for Wednesday.

Farewell to bad arguments about good science.

Mark Mathis is still pleased with the $5.8 million even though earlier reports had indicated that success was defined as $12 million for the first weekend.
