It was because of those evil Trump supporters.

meanwhile looks like Melissa McCarthy’s new movie will be a hit, remaking Rodeny Dangerfields ‘Back to School’ from a mom’s perspective...

There hasn’t been a decent, laugh-out-loud comedy movie since the Hangover series. Even the stand-ups are in the toilet. I don’t even go to comedy shows anymore because it immediately devolves into politics and then you got jokes about Trump, his supporters, and then issues.

Amy Schumer is hateful, ugly, and not funny.

and that’s what Schumer doesn’t get , she loathes her own audience! Melissa McCarthy lost 75 lbs to do her movie, and Chucky’s niece got fatter

Why did it fail?

First off it had Amy Schumer in it. Her total comedic routine is based on blunt talk about her female parts. My goodness, even her TV show is named “Inside Amy Schumer”.

Class act like he cousin Chuck U Schumer.

I was listening to my favorite FM dope smoking, maggot infested hippie radio station last night, and I noticed an odd DJ promotion of this particular movie saying how funny it is, go see it.

I don’t think I’ve heard something like this on any other movie, and I listen to that station often.

Seemed very desperate.

Schumers career is on the line here. Jennifer Lawrence announced her semi retirement not too long ago. (bad box office)

From IMDB: A woman struggling with insecurity wakes from a fall believing she is the most beautiful and capable woman on the planet. Her new confidence empowers her to live fearlessly, but what happens when she realizes her appearance never changed?

I didn't read the article but here are the top six reasons why her movie flopped from my perspective:

1. Fat, ugly Amy "I'm Sorry I'm White" Schumer

2. Fat, ugly Amy "I'm Sorry I'm White" Schumer

3. Fat, ugly Amy "I'm Sorry I'm White" Schumer

4. Fat, ugly Amy "I'm Sorry I'm White" Schumer

5. Fat, ugly Amy "I'm Sorry I'm White" Schumer

6. Fat, ugly Amy "I'm Sorry I'm White" Schumer

If you want real laughs watch some Golden Age comedies. Bringing Up Baby and His Girl Friday are two of the best. If you really want to up the PC crowd watch Blazing Saddles.

A couple of personal faves are Airplane and It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.

Re: “Box office poison like Jennifer Lawrence”

The main problem for Jennifer Lawrence is that she makes like three movies a year - EVERY year!

Lawrence is not a great actor, but she is definitely a rock solid professional actor, and she has an amazing work ethic.

I actually enjoy the young people movie franchise films she does like “Hunger Games” and the Marvel Comic films.

Full Disclosure - I can only afford basic cable, so I watch a LOT of franchise films.
