Phat Girlz Mystery

Oddly enough the movie Phat Girlz has not caught fire at the box office. Hmmm. I don't understand it. This comedic triumph starring Mo'nique (presumably cousin to Unique), tells the riveting tale of a fat fashion designer struggling to find love. And Omelets with 4 kinds of meat. And some extra cheese. Maybe a side of toast. And a chuck roast.

So, anyone want to spend 10 bucks to see a fat fashion designer? No? 3.1 million dollars in it's opening weekend tells me someone was dumb enough to do it. My guess is that Friday night, when the film opened, there were an awful lot of bored buffet re-stockers and some empty Lane Bryants.

Let's figure out how many viewers that actually was. Let's see, 3.1 million, gotta figure most of them had to buy 2 seats, so that means one viewer for every 2 tickets sold....you get the idea.
