The recently released comedy film, The American Society of Magical Negroes suffered a disappointing opening weekend at the box office, raising concerns about its financial viability. Produced by Focus Features and directed by Kobi Libii, the film managed to accumulate a total of $1,304,270 in its debut weekend across 1,147 theaters in the United States.

Despite its wide release, the movie’s earnings fell extremely below expectations. While the exact production budget remains undisclosed, industry analysts consider these figures alarming for the rest of the film’s theatrical run.

The production budget was probably $50 million. Hollywood does another go woke/go broke production.

And movies like this always bomb overseas so foreign distribution won’t bail it out. Another woke disaster.

I mean, the idea isn't even original. They probably lifted it from this:

"Barack the Magic Negro lives in D.C.
The L.A. Times, they called him that
'Cause he's not authentic like me.
Yeah, the guy from the L.A. paper
Said he makes guilty whites feel good
They'll vote for him, and not for me
'Cause he's not from the hood.
See, real black men, like Snoop Dog,
Or me, or Farrakhan
Have talked the talk, and walked the walk.
Not come in late and won!"

Song and lyrics by Paul Shanklin

It’s racist that the honkies didn’t rush to the theaters to watch this garbage from the Magic Negroes.

Kinda surprised it broke the million dollar mark myself. There are still lots of racist black people and self-loathing white people out there -- but thankfully not as many as the media would have us believe.

I love to pay money to watch movies that tell lies about me.

Thanks for the reminder that Hillary supporters pushed the “magic negro” label onto Obama early in 2007. Of course, Rush, not Hillary, caught hell over making fun of it.

Rush’s on thought on the situation. He was right again.

I forgot about Paul Shanklin's parody, to the tune of "Puff the Magic Dragon" some 16 years ago.

You're correct this is a ripoff of Paul and Rush.

Aw, cmon. Don’t be too hard on em. I mean, how could they have possibly known that insulting 3/4 of your potential audience could be a financial loser?
These people live in a bubble. They make movies for themselves, not others. They think everyone thinks like them.”The Message” is all important. Even more so than making money.
The quadroon who made this trash probably already has offers lined up.

**********************
Sorry, it’s not a ripoff of Rush. Rush had “talent on loan from God”, but He did originate the “magical negro” trope. It’s been around for quite awhile, especially among white liberals.
White writers and Hollywood have always used the magical negro.Such as Hattie MacDaniel in Gone With The Wind, Uncle Remus, Mother Abagail in The Stand, John Coffey in The Green Mile, The Legend of Bagger Vance.

They probably comped the media a crap-ton of tickets and counted that as paid attendance.
