- Yesterday’s update was probably the longest, largest update in News Askew history! Thanks to everyone who went out and saw Dogma last night. The preliminary figures are in, and it looks like the film pulled in over 3 million bucks (3.04 million, to be exact), not too shabby, making it #2 in the country (behind Pokemon) according to per-screen averages. Tom from Lions Gate contacted us and wanted us to thank all of you for going to see the flick. Dogma is on track to make about $10 million this weekend, not too shabby of an opening at all, and should easily be Kevin’s most popular film to date, by far.

Response to Dogma has been amazing. We’re hearing stories of sold out shows, folks sitting in the aisles, roaring applause when the title comes up and throughout the film, nonstop laughter, and more. Not too much on the protesting front, just a lot of very pleased audiences, many of whom tell us they’re going to see the flick 2 and 3 times this weekend alone.
Lots of articles and reviews on the flick are still pouring in. Today’s contributions for Dogma RC come to us from Vishal Sharma, Allison Tucker, Nathan Hurst, Allan, Jerry Stamey, Anthony Sandstrom, Chasing Holden, Johnny, Brian Carter, Joe Coughlin, Daina Dickman, Ken Liang, Jess, & Ed Johnson-Ott.
Just a few more Dogma quickies today, as we get Dogma RC back in line (finally) with the rest of the site. Hopefully everyone’s been visiting both sites for the past week, since it’s been tough keeping EVERYTHING up to date. Between the two sites, we think we caught pretty much everything going on out there, by some miracle. It’s been a fun ride…
