Meant to say “he did not” instead of “not.”

Average of less than $1;200 per theater hardly pays the electric bill.

the Cancel Culture is at fault here. Whites don’t dare go anyplace where they might be associated with the word “negro” and thus become a target of cancellation, harassment and even incarceration.

Didn’t we watch “magical negroes” make liberal whites feel good for 8 years???
I am all for stereotypical ethnic and racial humor in movies. If someone like Aaron McGruder, Kevin Hart, or dare I say (dare dare) Mel Brooks made the film it would probably be hilarious. BUT... Gotta be woke.

I’m going to guess that studio management knew it was going to bomb, and underwrote it anyway to get some peace from black activists.

Was the movie effectively marketed as a parody of the trope or did the intentional satirical humor from the title inadvertently hurt its box office chances from the get-go? They will never accept that the rest of the country/world does not share Hollywood's relentless fixation on race. Even as satire or spoof, the near-universal feeling is, "Enough of this sht."

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 In all actuality, not very many. If tickets cost $20 then the average three day person count per theater would be just north of 56. That's not even 20 people per day and distribute that through the number of showings per day. Let's say four showings per day so there were four or five people at each viewing.
