Hey guys,

Just wanted to pass this along to you– word of mouth seems to be benefiting “The Aristocrats,” as it’s the only movie in the top 20 to have moved up since last weekend. Should hit $4 million soon.

For mathematical fun, it’s now surpassed the entire theater gross of “Comedian” ($2.7 mil). But combined, both films still come up short of the magic number of $21.9 mil — the amount Punchline made. Taking
inflation into account, that’s a good-to-crap ratio of approximately 1:5.

And I flunked 300 Math. Phhttt.
