It was only released in 300 theaters and was predicted to take in 3 mil, it cost 1.5 mil to make. From what I understand it is almost like a film school project in quality, like 60 min long.
Southside With You (RSA/MAX/IMG), 813 theaters / $1M Fri (includes $75K previews) / 3-day cume: $3M / Wk 1
Sorry it was released in 813 movie theaters and only drew $1,000,000 on Friday evening, devastating failure revenue and viewer attendance. As the weekend progressed it only dropped lower. This flick will be lucky to gross $10M in total. The unofficial cost of the film was $5M (estimated)...but that does not include the high dollar advertising campaign. IMHO, this flick will not make any money for the investors or producers at all...maybe something like fifty cents!!! Both Clinton & Obama are not selling well!!! Folks, our USA media lies big time for “Big Brother”!!! Beware of false leaders!!!
According to Box office mojo on 8/26/2016 it was released to 800 theaters and it made about $1,022,300. and it was ranked # 11.
On 8/27/2016 it went way to to the bottom of the list and the number of theaters is blank and the dollar amount was the same as Fridays take. Maybe they pulled the movie or they just won’t report on it because it was so dismal.
And how many of those tickets were sold to local Democratic Party headquarters as a required “voluntary” purchase?
