Oprah’s PISSED As Movie FLOPS, #BLM Director Blames ‘Christians & White People’..
WDC ^ | 3/31/2018 | Admin

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.”

It has made a little over a 100 million with Foreign receipts. Budget was 103 million. Factoring in marketing and the Theaters take it probably won’t break even. Shame /s

Simple. Word spread that she removed the major Christian themes from the story.

A sure sign of a progressive is the defense of failure by blaming others.

I thought Concerned Women for America and other similar groups were warning parents in the 90s that the classic Wrinkle in Time WAS new-agey and anti-Christian.

It was a decent movie. It really was.

The junk stuff that happens with Hollywood accounting is horribly unethical. That happens on every movie. The producers screw the crew. The distributors screw the producers. The chains screw the audience.

“I wouldn’t say it flopped. $83 million domestic is a nice haul, if the budget is right”

$103 million to make before millions spent to advertise.

movie will make a profit from foreign distribution rights, but is a flop in the domestic market because expectations were that it would be a megahit and make a ton of money here ... that didn’t happen

Well, then, Oprah...you never seemed to mind the thousands of white, Christian, audience members who made you famous?

Besides, your black-brothers want to “kill all the white people”, and your muslim-brothers want to eradicate all the “Christians”, so why should anyone from those groups attend your movie...you changed the story, you own it.

So, turn off your “Hillary whine” and please note that you obviously DO need whites and Christians in American...or, you need to get out of the movie business.

The comments at the end of the article at the link are great.

Even fans of hers thought the movie rotted.

Movies are seldom as good as “the book” and more you change the story the more that statement seems to be true.

As the saying goes, "never judge a book by its movie."

I would love to see the producers of *I Can Only Imagine* make a film based on *A Wrinkle in Time* true to the book and watch it clean up.

Notice how the media is slowly indoctrinating (nudge, nudge) people to view Christianity as a religion of White people.

That’s because blacks already have sowed up Islam - wherein they are viewed by ME muslims as slaves ...

Can the number of tickets (sold versus the number of seats occupied to view a movie) be determined?

I suspect Black Panther had a lot of "Soros sales" of tickets online, but low actual attendance. Anyway to get those numbers?...........

It flopped because of the people who didn’t go see it, not because of the producer and director who made the movie nobody wanted to go see.....

“erased Christianity, making it New Age and politically correct”

It appears they targeted the wrong audience. But I have to say, Oprah and Ava are quite dense if they if they can’t figure it out.

They should have aimed it at Oprah’s white plantation sycophants.

As a white Christian, I'm personally offended.

I think a boycott of Oprah's sponsors is in order.

Concerning “Unbroken” “When Angelina Jolie made the decision to remove all aspects of Louis Zamperini’s faith, the movie fell flat”.

I just saw a trailer for the sequel to Unbroken, in which Louis falls flat in life, only to lifted up by God. Sounds like this could be much more true to life than the first...I hope!

Wait, not even blacks and the libtard, progressive SJWs could not have prevented the failure of the sh*t movie? Go figure.....

Christians and white people = a convenient scapegoat, again, for an absolutely sh*t movie........
