I can't beleive that all of you are acting as if BO numbers dictate the quality of a film. Look at Titanic -- largely a piece of rubbish, yet the "#1" movie ever. While Clerks, which I'd say all of us love, didn't exactly make huge 8-digit sums at the BO. Even take a movie like Eyes Wide Shut, which had very important things to say, and was very good, but which fell after a week or so because the public coudn't stomach stylized truth. So really, don't attempt to call Dogma a bad film because it dropped off 52%, if you want to insult it pick something better, something in the film itself, that is not dependent on the viewing public.
