253 Theaters Drop 'Gosnell' Amid Media Blackout to Defend 'Sacrament' of Abortion
I very suspicious of these numbers, since they link to BO Mojo which shows first week 673, second week 511 (162 less) theaters. No Tues numbers.
The rest of the article is fine.

Last week, the Daily Wire's Paul Bois reported that 188 theaters had dropped the film in the first week since it opened. On Tuesday, the "Gosnell" team told PJ Media that number has climbed to 253.
"Gosnell" opened in 668 theaters on October 12, raking in more than $1.1 million, according to Box Office Mojo. On Friday October 19, it was only running in 480 theaters. On Tuesday, the team reported that 415 theaters are still screening the film.
McAleer described promoting the film as a near-Kafkaesque struggle. "The mainstream media has basically not reviewed the film at all. NPR refused to take our ads. Facebook blocked our ads," he said.
"I was shocked by the hard-headedness of the Left," the director said. He argued that the liberal critics who actually reviewed the film "lied about it." These critics said "Gosnell" purposefully confused a legal abortion with the kind of abortion Gosnell carried out. In fact, the movie makes it extremely clear that the grisly abortionist was violating the law with his abortions.
