"Affleck’s period crime thriller “Live by Night” is also underperforming with early estimates in the $7.5 million to $9 million range. That’s a painful result for Warner Bros., given the $65 million budget.

Open Road’s Jamie Foxx police thriller “Sleepless” isn’t showing much life with $6 million to $7 million for the four days."

Ben Affleck and Jaime Foxx - brothers from different whatevers.

“Live By Night” had a great trailer. I really thought about disregarding my 2001 ban on going to the movies to see this.

Jamie Foxx's career has been 'meh' and worse since the 'Lord and Savior' quote about Obama.

Good.

It was an extraordinarily stupid thing to say. Sadly, he isn't the one who loses money.

Jamie Foxx was done in my book when he bragged about the movie “Django” sp? that he loved the movie because he got to shoot white people.

Hidden Figures is the best film I’ve seen in a long time.

How is “Hidden Fences” doing? Some good things said about that one.

I need you like Ben Affleck needs acting school,
He was terrible in that film.
I need you like Cuba Gooding needed a bigger part,
He’s way better then Ben Affleck.
And now all I can think about is your smile,
And that s__ty movie too,
Pearl Harbor sucked and I miss you

Ben Affleck is like a malignant tumor on the colon of entertainment. Has anyone ever been able to sit through one of his crappy movies? I haven’t.

Guess the paying public isn’t paying. Too bad, Follywood.

Yep, the “uneducated” “deplorable” people have decided to spend their hard earned bucks on other things.

It will be a long time before I go to the movies again.

I keep hearing in my mind CNN, Corey Booker and the House Democrats and Merle Streep and Hollywood singing: “I fought the Trump and the Trump won, I fought the Trump and the Trump won...”

That was a reason I decided not to watch any more Foxx movies either. Another very stupid thing to say.
