who are these people?

Some things (ok most things) I can't figure out. For example, how did $13.2 million dollars find their way out of the pockets of the American people and into the box office for Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid, the sequel to Anaconda? I mean, really. If movie tickets cost say $8 on average, that's over one and a half million people that wasted an evening seeing that trash. 1.5 million! That's a lot of people. And where will that $13.2 million go? Toward the production budget of More Anacondas: Snakes from Space. Our country can't even pick movies. Good luck with that Democracy thing in November...
