An anti-Obama documentary based on conservative author Dinesh D’Souza’s book The Roots of Obama’s Rage will expand nationwide this weekend after doing notable business in select markets across the country -- including in liberally minded New York City.
Overall, 2016: Obama's America grossed an impressive $1.2 million last weekend as it upped its theater count from 61 to 169 for a total gross of $2 million, the second-best showing of the year for a documentary after Bully ($3.2 million). That doesn't include nature documentaries Chimpanzee ($29 million) and To the Arctic ($7.6 million).
It's already the No. 12 political documentary of all time -- a market that Michael Moore has cornered -- as well as the No. 2 conservative documentary after Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed ($7.7 million).

Popular or not, Dinesh D’Souza, do not expect an invitation to the White House anytime soon.
Wish a condensed version of 2016 could be seen on primetime TV before November.
$2m is incredible for a doc, esp when you consider that Palin’s movie only made about $400k in theaters (although the producers did get a great up-front deal with Wal-Mart.)
When will Axelrod start screaming about Zero being Swiftboated?
I believe it is in town this weekend, I intend on going.
Will this make a difference?

With this weekend’s upcoming theater expansion up over 1000 theaters, if 2016 does well this weekend, expect an explosion of viewership across the nation!!! Keep your fingers crossed, folks!!! Nothing succeeds like word of mouth input!!!
Saw it on Sunday in a FULL house. It was VERY well done. No tirades or inflammatory tone, just facts that most folks may not know about. I could, and probably will recommend it to my decidedly left leaning thoughtful, if politically misguided friend ; )
Lord, may this film help to open the eyes of many.

....to all...and don’t forget to clap at the end of the show....
Heard D’Souza say in an interview is that his goal is to draw enough attention to this film that the Left is forced to respond to it, thereby drawing Barry into a debate about his past.
We, and many others did as well!
:)
It was great, especially after watching Atlas Shrugged in a theatre with probably less than 6 people, (including my Libertarian friend and I !).
May God bless.

I’m looking on Fandango for movie times but I don’t even see the movie listed.
Works for me ; )
Blessings.

Box Office Mojo (one of the best sites for box office info) had the weekend figures listed, but not the daily ones. That may be because the daily figures aren’t being reported, as it is only in 169 theaters at this point. It banked just shy of $1.3 MILLION this past weekend, for a total of just over $2 MILLION to date. It was ranked #13 out of all films currently showing in America. You can also use BOM to see if the film is playing in your area; although the 2016 movie website gives you a current/opening soon list by state...major expansion coming this weekend.
