No love for Michael Moore’s latest

It’s a little early to issue a death certificate for the career of Michael Moore — but his latest film, “Capitalism: A Love Story,” has grossed just $14 million in seven weeks of release. It’s his poorest showing since “The Big One” (about “protecting the Earth from the scum of corporate America,” he claimed) bombed in 1998, grossing just $720,074. The portly provocateur is on a downward trend, having peaked with “Fahrenheit 9/11,” which grossed $119 million in the US in 2004. His ill-timed “Sicko” about health care took in just $24.5 million in 2007.
