LMAO. Celebs buying out theatre screenings to prop up this films box office.

Pathetic. So we can conclude the BO total will be 'fake news' due to it being brigaded?

reply

One would think so.

Now we know what rich black assholes imitating ostriches in cartoons look like.

The makers are probably honored that celebrities would "stand up" for them that way but yet soooooooo embarrassed by it too. As they should be.

Hasn't helped much...

It’s made $88 million from a $50 million budget so far and is sitting comfortably in the top 40 box office hits of the year. It’s not the disaster you all want to insist it is.

To put it in context, its closest counterpart in terms of historical epics for 2022, The Northman, only made $69 million on a $90 million budget. Yet somehow there doesn’t seem to be the rapturous and rabid celebration of its failure like we see here. I wonder why?

65 million domestically. I've watched many movies with mostly black casts, but this one just didn't interest me. I am not celebrating it, but I feel that studios have to be smart about what audiences want to see with black casts. This wasn't it.

If it transpires that 'The Norseman' required rich (white) celebrities to buy out cinema screenings to bolster it's box-office...I'll rag on that movie too.

It will sell from $ 25 to 50 mill to streaming. It will break even.

They're out there working their fingers to the bone!!!!
