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

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).

Let’s be honest here. The truth usually is “anti-Obama”.

In Liberal CA, 2016 has been playing to “sold out” audiences with the audience standing and chanting at the end of the show: “USA,” “USA,” “one-term,” “one-term.” My neighbor called all her friends and told them that they “have got to see 2016.” Word of mouth to go see the movie is going viral and people are standing in long lines to see the movie.

Get there early!!! I’m sure Barry and his Regime aren’t concerned about 2016 as they’re not concerned about the Special Ops YouTube either. After all, only 3 million views in less than a week.

It opens here (Tidewater VA) this weekend. I CANNOT WAIT to see it! OBTW an enterprising youngster could make a small fortune selling anti-Zero bumper stickers, t-shirts etc. after a weekend showing, imo.

parents and children watch children book movies, they do not watch political movies together.

hence smaller potential audience
