Coincidence?

The Number 23 starring Jim Carrey is in theatres February 23.

Answer 1

Uh, WAS in theaters. I'ts been out on DVD for some time.

If I may, 2+3 is 5. You can make numbers dance and do backflips but it doesn't really mean a thing

Answer 2

I believe you are in to Numerology and yes i believe there is a power behind it.I have studied this field and can verify what you have explained is true.Further more if you reduce 23 down to 2+3=5 is the number for changes like Kurt Cobain was alive and now dead from the power of the #5 changes.Also look at this date 9-11-2001=14 0r 1+4=5 peoples lives changed on this date.

Answer 3

It is a complete and total coincidence. There is no relationship between those events except a random mathematics. You could choose events out of history to build a case for any number.
