I wonder if this is fake news in an attempt to kill the picture. I admit I didn't see it yet but I definitely will this week.

[Eddie01]

I liked it.

Christmas time. Doesn’t surprise me. It was a great movie.

[freedom1st]

We’re going to see it tonight then.

[Gay State Conservative]

I’ll be buying it...4K if available,bluray if not.

I definitely would see it. Poor Richard Jewell lived a fated life. I hope he is in heaven now.

I’ll see it like I see every movie for the last decade . On my 60” tv.

I might consider seeing a high tech special effects movie in the theatre. But nothing I see out There qualifies.

I haven’t seen it yet, but planning to see it this week.

As soon as I saw it I figured “Yep. Destroy the messenger.” I wonder what the real figures are and if they matter?

We loved it. We did attend the very first showing on the first day of the movie, and theater was almost empty. But it was the middle of a work day. I expect attendance will pick up this week. I figure this article is meant to encourage people to stay away.

When the FBI asked Jewell if he was a member of any organization, he said he was a Baptist. That got a big laugh here in TN!

Numbers dot com which tracks movies is not biased.

Face it, 99% of America really has no interest in this type of movie.

As soon as I saw it (The headline).

Weekend? Are Sunday ticket sales not considered part of Hollywood’s “weekend?”

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Yes, I wonder why they opened so close to Christmas, not exactly a holiday spirit film.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

Most people only go to the movies when they’re taking their kid to some kiddie movie, that’s how I roll. Hopefully the movie will pick up in video sales, that’s a lot more of a trend these days. I’d rather rent a movie off Amazon Prime for $6 and buy treats for another $10 than spend $50 to sit with a bunch of people, eat the $8 popcorn, and hope people behave.

They track Thursday-Saturday sales.

[HighSierra5]

I’ll wait till it comes out on DVD or somewhere else. I hate going to the movies and paying an arm and a leg for admission and snacks. I haven’t been to movie in at least a decade.

we are planning to see it but are in the throes of rennovating a duplex and the heating season.

[Meatspace]

The movie studio did not buy enough TV commercials for the film.

Great acting and direction. Everyone needs to go see it or movies like this will no longer be produced.
