Atlas Shrugged Part 1 did better than Al Fin expected, both at the box office and particularly in DVD sales and the pay TV aftermarket. Even more work was put into making Part 2 into great entertainment, as well as an accurate reflection of the author's (Ayn Rand) intent.
For those wanting to learn more about the story and the phenomenon of Atlas Shrugged, the website Atlasshrugged.com provides much more information.

It is no coincidence that Part 2 of Atlas Shrugged is being released within a month of Obama's re-election attempt. Atlas Shrugged was published in 1957, yet the events portrayed could have come out of today's newspaper. Barack Obama has recycled some very old ideas with which to wreak havoc on the US economy and US personal liberties.
As Barack Obama might say: "If you think the last 4 years have been bad, re-elect me and I'll show you just how bad things can get!"
Who is John Galt? John Galt is just about the most dangerous child who could be imagined. If Barack Obama is re-elected, you will hear his name much more often.
