Michael Moore's latest movie, “Capitalism: A Love Story,” which, incidentally, berates the free enterprise system that made Moore rich, had its first wide release weekend, playing in 962 screens across the country.

Moviegoers would apparently prefer to watch the living dead a la “Zombieland” than Moore's sophomoric propaganda, because Moore’s flick placed seventh, bringing in $4.9 million and tying with Drew Barrymore's directorial debut, "Whip It."

Drew's film actually had a better reception than Moore's. "Capitalism" played in almost twice as many theaters as "Whip It" but brought in an equal amount.

Moore's last film, “Sicko,” which, capitalistically speaking, execs viewed as disappointing, brought in $4.4 million in box-office take from 441 screens, less than half of the theaters in which “Capitalism” was released.

“Zombieland” took in five times the gross of Moore’s at $25 million.

The second week of the family comedy, “Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs,” had more than three times Moore's money at $16.7 million.

Despite the critics’ severe bashing of Ricky Gervais’ “The Invention of Lying,” the film attracted $7.4 million.

In industry terms, experts who analyze the movie business have a technical term for the performance level of Moore's flick. It's a flop.

Next thing you know Moore will be looking for a bailout.
