“A lot of whites will go see it for two reasons, white guilt (it got Obama elected) and to be seen by blacks at the theater so as to make themselves feel like they are down for the struggle.”
Whites going to this movie to be “seen by blacks” are likely to get a nasty surprize. I would not be surprised to hear of many fights in the theatres.
The TBP may have a big opening in the US largely due to turnout by black audiences, but I expect the international numbers will be very low.
Ages ago, I watched Coming to America in a theater in east Austin Texas. I think I was one of maybe a dozen whites in the entire theater. Watching the other people's actions was funnier than the movie! I remember one particular large woman that would run up and down the aisle laughing every time something funny happened in the movie.
