Definitely a commercial disappointment. A woke disappointment, to boot. One of those movies the critics hail as the most "important" thing since the wheel, while the world collectively goes, "Meh".

It'll probably clean up at the Oscars, though. I miss the days when that show honoured films the public actually gave a shit about (i.e. back when people bothered to watch the ceremony).

Never existed?

What about Titanic, LOTR: Return of the King, Slumdog Millionaire, Chicago, Gladiator, etc.?

He has a point, although a miniscule one. Although the Oscars had moments when they did value excellence they still had their political agenda - whatever that was at that time.

Agreed, for the most part.

It’s doing fine.

reply

[–] BlackMass (988) 2 years ago

Not really. The film has to recoup its budget plus money spent on prints and ads.

reply

[–] modica (4169) 2 years ago

Yeah, some people just can't accept when a movie they like flops.

reply

[–] Crapshoot (150) 2 years ago

The movie will finish with over $100 million worldwide, and close to $70 million domestically. It’s fine.

Prints? You haven't been in a theater is the last 10 years, have you?

Black celebrities are buying up all the seats in the theaters to try to boost its dismal performance, https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/black-celebs-buy-screenings-woman-195812630.html

Pathetic zombies. Controlled by the Democratic regime that so proudly touted black slavery...

The comments on there say it all. LMAOOOO 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I particularly like this one:

"So websites take down what they perceive as review bombing not being accurate to how audience really feel about movie. Wouldn't inflating numbers be the same thing as not accurately portraying how audience feel?"

The old Liberal double standard comes into play again.

[–] April-151-CT (10210) 2 years ago

Yes. I see 83 million worldwide against a 50 million budget. I always hear the gross intake should double the budget for it to not lose money. And then anything over double is profit. So it needs to make a hundred million just to come out even. Flop.

It all flops are bad films though.

reply

[–] April-151-CT (10210) 2 years ago

Come again??

reply

[–] Mrmojo4700 (21454) 2 years ago

I’m sorry. I meant to say that all Box Office flops are not bad films.

reply

[–] April-151-CT (10210) 2 years ago

That pretty much goes without saying.

reply

[–] Crapshoot (150) 2 years ago

The movie hasn’t been released in a number of territories yet.

reply

[–] April-151-CT (10210) 2 years ago

Oh, I'm sure that means something. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

It didn't get much of an international release, anyone know why? UK is biggest at $3.4m.

reply

[–] modica (4169) 2 years ago

Must not have been interested in the movie. It barely broke 60 million in the US and it's been out for weeks.

reply

[–] millsey72 (10243) 2 years ago

Its a shame because even if you don't agree with the politics within the movie, its important citizens, especially younger audiences, learn about our past history

reply

[–] modica (4169) 2 years ago

Some have said that the movie isn't accurate. Maybe that is why people aren't seeing it.

reply

[–] millsey72 (10243) 2 years ago

Of course African slavery was real

reply

[–] Bateman (600) 2 years ago

It definitely was.

And a significant portion of it was perpetrated by the Dahomey, the very people this film portrays as anti-slavery freedom fighters.

reply

[–] millsey72 (10243) 2 years ago

How so? I didn't see this movie but we all learned as early as in elementary school about the African Slave trade across the Atlantic when white American southerners invaded Africa and stole natives and sold them into slavery here in America

reply

[–] modica (4169) 2 years ago

I don't know much about it, but most movies take lots of liberties when it comes to accuracy. Some more than others, and I've heard some say that this movie is one that is not very historically accurate.

Black / Negro films are only popular here in the US. The gangster rapper films of 90s that once were hot overseas are a thing of the past.
