Box Office Report: Anti-Obama Doc Drawing Big Crowds, Even in New York City
Hollywood Reporter ^ | August 21, 2012 | Pamela McClintock

Posted on 08/22/2012 7:35:29 AM PDT by rightwingintelligentsia

An anti-Obama documentary based on conservative author Dinesh D’Souza’s book The Roots of Obama’s Rage will expand nationwide this weekend after doing notable business in select markets across the country -- including in liberally minded New York City.

Overall, 2016: Obama's America grossed an impressive $1.2 million last weekend as it upped its theater count from 61 to 169 for a total gross of $2 million, the second-best showing of the year for a documentary after Bully ($3.2 million). That doesn't include nature documentaries Chimpanzee ($29 million) and To the Arctic ($7.6 million).

It's already the No. 12 political documentary of all time -- a market that Michael Moore has cornered -- as well as the No. 2 conservative documentary after Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed ($7.7 million).

When will Axelrod start screaming about Zero being Swiftboated?

Didn't one Senator John F. Kerry say the same thing within the last week? Mind you, Kerry's arrogance back in 2004 did in his campaign anyway, along with the withering PR fire from the Swift Boat Vets and the Rathergate scandal....

Well, Obama has always wanted to be a “star”, larger than life.

Looks like he's finally got his wish via an extensive documentary about him.

The only thing that I felt was odd was the producers’ acceptance of his claim to being born in Hawaii in 1961.

It would be the icing on the cake to see another doc made exploring all the inconsistencies in his forged past, enough grist for another full length film.

We linked from the 2016themovie.com site. At the top of the page, righthand side was/is a link to Fandango, that once there, you enter your zipcode or town. They are opening in MANY more theatres this weekend, so hopefully, your area will be included.

May God bless.

1.2 million. Sheesh Diary of a whimpy kid made 34 million. There should be way more people wanting to see an anti-Obama movie then their are wanting to see a children’s book.

You make a point that is more disturbing than the concept of someone like Barack Obama being elected.

Elections can be reversed by another election. Campaigns can be won.

But the fact that this country is populated by enough people who even consider voting for him, never mind the glassy-eyed ones with the flushed faces who chant “O-BAM-A” over and over, is completely distressing.

We may not be able to overcome that, the idiocy of a large swath of the electorate.

I can’t help but wonder just what they think makes it “anti-obama”....the truth?

Four theaters in the Cleveland/Akron area. One is only 7 miles from me. Good!

It’s actually playing here in MD of all places, not that I think it will have an impact here.

Might be fun to go to a show just to see some leftists heads explode.
