Uh-oh, Whiteys! You're making Giant Oprah Angry!

Oprah Winfrey latest movie “A Wrinkle In Time” just premiered, and it’s officially been labeled a flop.
The award-winning book that the movie is based on is a science fiction fantasy about Christianity’s concept of good versus evil, but Winfrey and the Black Lives Matter director Ava DuVernay erased Christianity, making it New Age and politically correct.
You’ll be shocked how “Christians and white people” are now blamed for its horrendous reviews. Oprah Winfrey starring in “A Wrinkle In Time” (left), a stock image of moviegoers (right).
Madeleine L’Engle’s 1962 award-winning book “A Wrinkle In Time” is known for its Christian themes, as well as being a sci-fi fantasy about a young girl named Meg whose scientist father gets trapped in another dimension by his own governmental experiment. Well, Oprah and her new favorite director, Ava DuVernay, took the novel and transformed it into a hot mess of a movie.
The movie is about racial diversity and social justice, and the critics say it “sucks.” The Federalist reports, “Critics are largely panning ‘A Wrinkle In Time,’ and Director Ava DuVernay is not taking it well. According to her Twitter feed, white journalists of either gender simply don’t understand her vision for the movie.”

So whites made her revise a movie to destroy its theme?
Um, OK.
LOL and a chuckle.
Believe me. I can get ANY edit/spec version of any movie in Hollywood. Not saying Im far up the chain :) This was one of the few I did not receive any and I’ll ask about a bud of mine who knows someone at Rotten Tomatoes to look into the BP ratings. Most people who work there are lib assholes.
Not enough of her former Reverend Wright congregation not in jail to go? Maybe the Dear Lear will put a word in for her to get the Kool-Aid drinkers to go.
I'm not a Christian, but I am white...and in any case, I have no desire to see a film that doesn't respect the source material.
Sounds like you wouldn’t have liked The Hobbit either. Good for you!
Movies are seldom as good as “the book” and more you change the story the more that statement seems to be true.
It's just you.
Ah, the progressive conscience of FR chimes in.
Just like Hillary, the people let her down. They are too stupid to recognize Oprah’s brilliance.
Jackson did a pretty good job (on the whole) adapting LOTR, but his Hobbit trilogy is terrible.
The word about them removing His Word got out...
“Writer of Disney’s ‘A Wrinkle in Time’ Ditches Biblical Themes for ‘Lots of New Age Content’”
“In an interview with Uproxx, screenwriter Jennifer Lee explained why she decided to remove Biblical references found throughout L’Engle’s popular 1962 children’s fantasy novel.
“The book is pretty open about its Christian ideals,” said Mike Ryan, a senior entertainment writer at Uproxx, while interviewing Lee. “The movie doesn’t directly reference them,” he noted.

Domestic haul - $104,499,038 - $33,123,609 opening weekend and then dropped off a lot
International haul - $21,100,000 because word got out the movie sucked
Marketing, merchandising, and other cost - ??????? a lot ???????
Disney financial projections - Demolished
Disney could have projected this piece of crap profiting a tens of millions, maybe hundreds of millions.
A movie can make a profit, however, not meeting financial projections will be labeled a flop. This thing might not even make a profit at all, which means a financial disaster, not a “flop”.
My daughter who read the book, but hasn’t seen the movie, theorized that the book is very imaginative. And different readers conceptualize it differently. Thus the movie had a high bar to begin with, because so many people have read the book and have preconceived conceptions of the story.
But as a Christian and white person, those comments don’t make me want to see the movie.
Apparently the Rotten Tomatoes score is bad. And my kids trust the rotten tomatoes score.
Sorry, total domestic haul was $83,399,038
hee hee, well I saw “The Hobbit” movie with my nephews, but I had never read the book! (don’t really care much for the whole genre)
The movie left me rather lukewarm, but not because I could compare any changes from the book. It’s just that whole fantasy kind of story doesn’t usually do much for me.
They were not true to the book, or so I understand!
Yeah and churches bought out theaters for that Christian song movie. Happens all the time.
