And what will they call the Dixie Chicks' biopic?

How about "Crickets Chirping."

Which is a lot more enigmatic than "Empty Theaters."

Yips! from Robbo:

I particularly like this statement from Barbara Kopple, one of the film's makers:

Kopple said plans for a grassroots promotional campaign are still being discussed, and Peck said the film is likely to be a hot topic in the approaching elections. "It deals with freedom of speech, censorship and other important issues," Kopple said. "It looks at the cost of standing up for what you believe in."

Ah! The First Amendment! The dreaded "C" word! Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!

Alas, dear, this is not about freedom of speech and censorship. To my knowledge, not a single government entity has had anything to do with the Chicks' woes since Maines shot off her yap. Instead, it's about the marketplace of ideas. You have every right to insist that the moon landings were faked or that Kennedy was really shot by Captain Kangaroo. I, in turn, have every right to call you a moron. And to refuse to buy whatever you're flogging. Including movie tickets.

More Yips! from Robbo: And talk about your casting decisions!

YIPS from Steve-O: Would that they decided to do a movie about stifling of scientific inquiry, censorship, and other important issues by the animal rights liberal whackjobs.

Because, remember, VACCINES=VIRAL GENOCIDE! THE HIV VIRUS HAS RIGHTS TOO!
