I’m not a fan of biased reporting no matter who does it.
The Butler was number one on the week. The ‘plummet’ of 30% on it’s second weekend is actually quite a good hold.
Last heres a link.

The Butler has been number one at box office 9 of the past 10 days.
Someone will construe this as me supporting the movie or endorsing it but what i am doing is condemning poor journalism.
Again. No matter who is responsible for bad reporting, in this case leading slanted reporting, should be called out for it.
Right. EVERY movie goes down the second week. Wolverine's second weekend gross was less than half the first week's, but it still made good money. The Avenger's 2nd weekend was just 57% of their first weekend, and they made phenomenal money.
So far they grossed $52M on a film they made for $30M. The film WILL be profitable.
Right there withya! Belive (no stats on hand to prove), that is within normal for non-blockbuster solid movie.
He11, Serenity barely scratched 26M for the whole time it was in theaters, and watching it again is orders of magnitude better than anything o and f have anything to do with....

I agree, I heard this morning that The Butler took the number one spot for the second weekend in a row.
I don't know anything about this movie. Forrest Whitaker is a great actor, but Jane Fonda and Oprah Winfrey will keep me away from this.
Still, pretending the movie is bombing when it's doing pretty well is just silly. Typical Newsmax.
I agree. It's silly to try to paint the movie as a flop. However, at best, The Butler is a modest hit.
