Miss Sloane, a highly anticipated movie demonizing the NRA and calling for gun control, has bombed. The movie succeeded only in emphasizing the top-down nature of the gun-control campaign and how little intensity there is for more regulations. The movie seemed to have everything going for it. Liberal movie critics loved it, and it was backed by a hefty ad budget along with heaps of favorable news coverage. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association has already nominated the movie’s star, Jessica Chastain, for a prestigious Golden Globe, considered a strong predictor of the Oscars.

All this time I thought that Miss Sloane was an actual person. Never knew it was a movie so I guess all the money used for marketing was not very effective.
I could smell this movie’s stench a mile away. Even the advertising, which always has the best scenes, could not make this political screech palatable! No matter to Hollywierd, they will always find someone else’s money to spend on another screed, just like Ms Stein’s recount effort. The bad thing is that this movie will be readily available political propaganda fodder for the LEFT for years to come.
Looking forward to Denzell in Fences, though.
The movie’s poor revenue is just proof that Americans don’t want to be lectured on gun control.
The same people blew their money on Hillary too.
+1
On dvd by the end of January.
And Lifetime "Movie of the Week" by February.
Obviously, the money behind this movie thought Hillary would win and they would ride the wave of post Hillary election Second Amendment hatred to Academy Awards and mega riches.. Ask Al Gore what happens when you run on gun control. Will they ever learn???
The bargain bin by March.
>>Supposedly the movie costs $13 MM to produce plus another $16 MM on marketing. Might as well have torched the money.

Next time, ask for a vote recount :)
What makes you think it won’t still get an Academy Award.
All it takes to win one is to highlight a liberal wet dream
Same mindset behind the Bloated and Inflamed Pantsuit Wearing One's campaign.
I pissed off my neighbor earlier when I said I hate going to Maryland because they are so anti gun. She probably would have freaked if she knee I was carrying and had an AR with red dot lying on the coffee table. OTOH my niece loved the Gerber knife I gave her for her birthday.
I wish it had cost them more.
$29 million is a drop in the bucket for Hollyweird these days and they are, no doubt, pleased with their “virtue signalling.”
