I will guess that the producers expected large numbers of Conservatives to come out to see the movie.
Wrong!
Teddy who(As in the son of an Irish Al Capone)
It should have come out 35 years ago.
If a movie doesn’t earn a 100% return on its cost on the first night...its a failure
What Hollywood studio do you work for?
Biggest problem is who under 60 is going to care and be interested in seeing it?
If you ask me a more modern and bigger public interest story is how does a 75 year old alcoholic with liver failure get a liver transplant?
Sounds like a terrible number.
I have no desire to see it; I think I would need a barf bag even though it’s not protective of Teddy the Land Whale.
I saw the movie Sat afternoon. Only one theater showing it in a seven theater multiplex out of the three greater-town-wide multiplexes. Crowd was definitely older white-haired Whites. Theater was about 25-33% full though. The movie pretty much tells the story that we always knew. But it portrays Teddy as a kid-at-heart simply seeking his father’s love who just made a bad mistake because he was still upset about his three brothers’ deaths, especially Bobby’s just 13 months before. Huge emphasis on the line at the funeral for Ms. Kopechne, “Look at Mary Jo’s parents. THEY don’t blame you [Teddy]. Why should the American people blame you?” I am sure LIEbruls are sighing with a massive amount of relief this morning over this movie, which in telling mostly the truth, still seems to show Teddy in a sympathetic light.
Let’s say that at a party, Donald Trump took a much younger female assistant in his car and drove it off a bridge killing her:
who doubts that within a year or so that film would be in every movie theater..?
yet in the case of the Kennedys the movie is not only made after the perp dies, but over maybe TEN YEARS after the perp’s death..?!
I find that ridiculous and disgusting
Here is a website for movie revenues.

That 1.9 million number, is ONLY FOR FRIDAY
In the end, Chappaquiddick will earn more money than Black Panther or maybe even the Star Wars franchise.
There could even be product lines of video games and primary character miniatures.
First-Who wrote this quote? The poster or someone from Box office mojo?
Second, no matter which of the idiots wrote it you can clearly see what the cost of the production was because it was INCLUDED with the opening day movie estimate. Why is it so damn difficult for people to actually do 5 seconds of work to give the whole story.

This movie will go nowhere..period. The Kennedy family destroyed themselves.....JFK was killed, RFK was killed, Teddy Kennedy murdered a young girl and lived life as a non-stop drunk. The family has had one tragedy after another. It is the classic road through life of a twisted, rich, elite family who thought they were living Gods. Not So, never will be.
The Obamas & the Clintons live in the same fantasy bubble...thinking they, to, are living Gods, not so!!!
The most magnificent movie on the screens right now is Dennis Quaid’s, Christian flick, “If I could Imagine” which he produced for a “mere” seven million dollars ($7,000,000 USD). To date it has grossed $63,000,000 USD, which is just short of earning ten times what it cost to produce and film. By the time this Sunday closes....the film will stand at about $67,000,000 dollars in revenue flow. It could, with a bit of luck reach the $100,000,000 USD level in about the next three weeks....Good job Dennis Quaid!!!
I Don’t go out to movies anymore, but watch what my mom wants. We want to see this. Jason Clarke is one of our favorites. I have a seen a fair amount of TV ads for this.
We are moviegoers and we will go see this. We didn’t want to go this weekend because we never go see a movie on it’s first weekend out. Usually too crowded. We go to a first showing on Saturday and can usually get good seats without too many talkers. I WISH this had come out 49 years ago, but the Entertainment Industry protects Democrats....we all know that. Look at how the pedophilia that is rampant in Hollywood, had only a cursory glance in the MeToo movement. I hope this is the last nail in the coffin of the Kennedy Clan worship fest. But I won’t hold my breath, as they promoted Patrick Kennedy with the response to the SOTU speech in January.
The POS is dead. It’s too late for Hollywood to say “I’m sorry”. The liberal left and the Massachusetts idiots who kept electing this sick bastard and his despicable family are going to have to live with their stupidity!!!
Soon after Watergate we had so much gloating. All the Kings Men, book, movie, 60 Minutes segments, made for TV etc. Maximize damage. We just had a Pentagon Papers movie last year. Never ends.
Teddy got a pass on negative coverage in comparison. He was denied the presidency but a young woman had to give her life.
Saw it yesterday afternoon and found it interesting. Best scene is when Teddy’s old man slaps him. The theater was full.
Only question was how did Teddy get out of the car?
I’ll wait for it to show on Lifetime Movies.. or the Kardashian channel.
Surprise, it got 6 million. Best with those over 55. I am not in that age group.
