Was this movie a flop?


Only around 13.000 votes and a 6,9 rating. In Germany they took it out of cinemas after a week. I saw it on Blu-ray and was suprised how great it was, oscar worthy performance from all involved and well directed biopic, 9/10 for me.

I don't know if it's a flop economically, but it got great reviews by critics.

If you're not taking any steps forward, you're not moving at all.

The film underperformed in the US box office.

Its that man again!!

Yea kinda weird, maybe it was too soon or too late for a James Brown biopic

I'm perplexed also.
I really enjoyed this movie, and I know that many other people did too.
The way I looked at this movie was as an "INDIE" Film.
It just didn't get hardly any "buzz", as (for example) the movie RAY did.
