[T.O.K.]

The anti-Obama documentary based on Dinesh D’Souza’s book “The Roots of Obama’s Rage” expanded nationwide on Friday — with early first-place showings in the domestic box office rankings, Deadline Hollywood reports.

As of late Friday afternoon, “2016: Obama's America” had grossed $700,000 from 1,090 theaters. That compared with $300,000 for the new big-budget, Sylvester Stallone action flick “The Expendables 2,” which is playing in 3,355 theaters, Deadline Hollywood reports.

Glad to see it is making an impact.

I'm going this afternoon.And I'll buy the DVD when it's released.I won't buy the bluray because I don't need to see Osama Obama’s Maoist face in high def.

Although I've been writing/blogging about Obama's background since he became a State Senator here in Illinois and exposing his roots, I'm still going to see this movie tonight - if for no other reason than to help prop up the box office numbers. That's capitalism IMO - voting with my dollars in every product or service I buy.

And hey, if I learn something new about the POC in the White House, all the better.

I’m going to see it in Houston today and can’t wait!

[Iron Munro]

OOPS! Correction:

Valerie Jarrett must be on a tear!
She’s probably got O’Bozo hiding from her in the bathroom.

[Bshaw]

“Taking my son today.”

Going Monday!

Last week it was only showing at one theater in Ohio, now it’s everywhere!

Freepers need to be aware that Dinesh D’Souza, the maker of the film, has a history of supporting islam-fascists such as the ones that attacked the WTC, and has supported employment of islamists by the Obama administration such as Obama adviser and Muslim Brotherhood operative Dalia Mogahed.

Great show in sold out theater.

I just read the 2nd review in the post #5 link. This sentence really got me:

"It too explores his father's influences from known communists like Frank Marshall Davis, and how Obama may have had contact with Bill Ayers, a Weather Underground terrorist. D'Souza carefully touches on these subjects and refuses to hammer his ideology into anyone's head."

MAY HAVE HAD CONTACT WITH BILL AYERS? Geeze, it is a well-known FACT that Obama wrote a promotion piece in Ayers book: A Kind And Just Parent: The Children Of Juvenile Court. I can't believe this isn't in the movie as it is a FACT and Obama's picture is even in Ayers book! See for yourself:

The proven link of Ayers and Obama

[wardaddy]

can someone clarify this...I do not believe for one second this is the number one movie in the US

and I was reading Dinesh in the early 80s after Dartmouth when he wrote for Policy Review and we had a mutual friend

I think NewsMax just snipped a tiny snapshot gross for a big header

but the film is doing good considering

when will Weinstein pick it up...lol

[KosmicKitty]

Hubby and I are taking the youngest tomorrow. First time I’ve been to the theater since “Team America: World Police”

A hand grenade thrown from the smoke faction of the smoke and mirror left?

$300,000 for the new big-budget, Sylvester Stallone action flick “The Expendables 2,” which is playing in 3,355 theaters,

90 bucks per theater is pretty damn lame.

Where is he getting his numbers from? Expendables 2 did over $2M at the box office Thursday. 2016 did $226K on Thursday. The revenue per theater ($1,335) was pretty good. If it was $300K in 3,355 theaters on Friday, then that's a per theater gross of under $100, which is terrible.
