Despite its wide release, the movie’s earnings fell extremely below expectations. While the exact production budget remains undisclosed, The production budget was probably $50 million. Hollywood does another go woke/go broke production.

“raising concerns about its financial viability”
…that’s funny! “Raising concerns”.

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.

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."
