Have an indy flick? Need it to do well at the box office?
Well, as the box office returns of 'Unplanned' demonstrate, getting censored on Twitter seems to be the ticket to getting them into the theatre.
The pro-life film highlighting the truth about abortion through the eyes of a former supporter of abortion was not only suppressed significantly on Twitter (something it claimed was an 'error'), it was also blocked from advertising on network Lifetime, HGTV and the Hallmark Channel.
So get a load of this buried news on the weekend's box office returns from the Hollywood Reporter:
New offering Unplanned, the R-rated, anti-abortion drama that faith-based distributor Pure Flix is releasing, is overperforming in its launch.

Dang it!
I almost saw this one instead of Hotel Mumbai.
It was okay, but I really should have driven further to instead see this one.
We saw this last night -probably not 20 people in the small theater - but more than half from our parish.
It was hard to watch in some places, but a good movie to show God can work in ways some folks would never guess. I bet it saves more than one baby!
This was advertised all over NAT GEO - that’s how we knew about it.
And Commiewood gave it an R Rating:
Prevents teenage females who can get an abortion without parental consent from seeing this movie without parental consent.
Provides businesses on both sides of the aisle an excuse for refusing any advertising of this relatively non-graphic movie, non-violent movie.
I saw it last night. It is far more tame than I expected.
