Full Title: No love for the Obamas! Movie of Michelle and Barack's first date 'Southside With You' lags at the box office in its opening weekend
American audiences failed to fall in love with Southside With You over the weekend, with the film that tells the story about President Obama's first date with future First Lady Michelle under-performing at the box office.
The movie, which opened in limited release at 813 theaters across the country on Friday, only managed to pull in $3 million in its first three days, slightly below expectations for the picture.
This despite solid reviews across the board and a heavy press push, with stars Parkers Sawyer and Tika Sumpter and executive producer John Legend doing a number of interviews leading up to the film's release.

I wouldn’t go to a movie about my first date. Why would I go see anybody else’s?
Only a fool would bet against you.
I was hoping it was under 1.5 million the cost to make the movie.
It is pure propaganda.
Both Barry and Moochelle were “affirmative action” hires used to promote the perception of diversity. Neither cut an important figure as trial lawyers. Both quickly surrendered their law licenses and retired from the legal profession once they were established on the political gravy train.
For many years, Moochelle was the principal breadwinner for the family. Her earnings easily outpaced State Senator Obama’s legislative salary and adjunct faculty stipends. Of course, Moochelle was hired as one of Jesse Jackson’s crowd by Chicago’s City Hall and had several highly paid “do nothing” job titles. She was noted for doing crossword puzzles and reading paperbacks during work hours. Her sinecure at the University of Chicago was another manufactured job that was eliminated as soon as she departed.
She only tried to talk the “Black” Patients into seeing the Movie?
I’m not sure, but I think that might be Racist.
LOL, that’s what it would take!
Mr. Bloody Sam Roberts wouldn’t even allow the movie trailer to remain on our TV for more than a nanosecond.
He reached for the tv clicker faster than humanly possible!
The nanosecond I saw of the trailer made me sick....
How does this movie measure up to the movie about George and Laura’s first date? How about Ronald and Nancy’s? George and Barbara’s? Not even Jimmy and Rosalyn’s? What about George and Martha?
Gimme a large break!! What a waste of movie film (yes I know it all digital now)
I went to see Ben Hur the other night. RT gave it a 27%. Hugh Hewitt said it was one of the best movies he’d ever seen.
I thought that RT was probably scoring it low, because it was essentially a Christian Movie.
I saw it. Sucked wet dog fur. One of the worst movie of all time.
I wonder how many of the $3 million of tickets were presold to various Democrat Party offices and no one actually used them.
I already saw the it. It was the Bar Scene in the Original Star Wars!
Never saw this coming.
I note also that there doesn’t seem to be any more audio of baby schools singing stuff like “mmm, mmm, mmm, Barack Hussein Obama.”
I will admit that I am delighted that this ridiculous movie bombed big time. I do not like either of these two people and they are not worthy of respect or emulation.
There would need to be witty dialog, a well constructed plot, guns, spaceships and explosions.
These rarely happen on a first date.
Good list but I’d throw in a Voight-Kampff Empathy Test for good measure.
Box Office is still 3 million dollars too high.

No, I AM a dialysis patient, and she was the daughter of one of the OTHER patients in the waiting room.
