So, Warner Bros, in one of these sketchy incidents, that keep happening of late, “overestimated” the weekend numbers for “The Color Purple” by over $2 million.

Warners had originally stated that ‘Color Purple’ made $13.8 million, but the actual number is said to be around $11.7 million

Yes, a musical version of the 1980s film.

Does it include a BLM chorus line?

I actually like The Color Purple. I think it is an accurate depiction of the violent, uncivilized black culture in America, at least after LBJ’s “Great Society.”

I'm uncomfortable looking at that porker.

It will win the Best Picture at The Oscars, anyway.

A (gag) feminist......what would you expect?

Netflix should remake it with Hermoine playing the part of Celie.

The BEST!

There must have been a large number of people sent free passes to watch the movies, then they calculated the number of people in attendance, rather than paid tickets.

Yea, but keeping the the phone turned off, and not answering the front door is a problem. Besides, I prefer the big screen experience. You watch it on TV and it doesn’t measure up.

Is the movie’s new version “gay themed?”
