Now that we've heard the bull****, let's get to the truth. American Sniper is still #1 at the box office and has already made over 150 million bucks. As of this weekend, it is still raking in the BIG bucks. Selma is at #7 and has brought in 35 million bucks and appears to have run its course. The mobbed theaters on MLK day to see Selma didn't materialize. The "progressive" commie libs still have to bear the burden of "white guilt" and "white privilege" with no relief in sight.
We went to the matinee today to see Mortdecai (had some funny moments, but overall just so-so). The box office line for American Sniper was wrapped around the lobby. We saw it last week and the theater was pretty full then. They’re still packing them in big time. Maybe people who weren’t all revved up about seeing it and doing so just to spite the liberal loudmouths.
We might have gone to see Selma, but it didn’t come to our local theater. Maybe it will eventually, but I and many others suffer from “racial fatigue” so maybe we’ll just take a pass altogether.
That is the bottom line. Selma flopped.
