Atlas Shrugged: who's seen it?

[clutchdust]

Based on the trailers I really want to see this. It looks like they've done a good job sticking to the basic story line. Problem is, I want to take the Mrs but she hasn't read the book. As a full time student and part time employee, she simply does not have the time to sit down and read a 1000+ page book. So I'm wondering if I should take her, considering we simply do not know if there will be a parts 2 and 3. So I'm wondering if I take her to see part 1 and hope that they actually make the sequels. Or do I wait until all three parts (hopefully) are released on DVD?
So what does VBOT think?

Wouldn't hold my breath on that one man, I doubt parts 2 and 3 will ever be made.

Really?

Why is that?

My guess is that so far the movie has only made <$4M.

4.3 ballpark.

Wow, at least it's going up consistently. I said <4M because when I checked last week they were sitting at around $3.6M. If they keep going at that rate, they may break even in another 15-20 months!
