The anti-Obama documentary based on Dinesh D’Souza’s book “The Roots of Obama’s Rage” expanded nationwide on Friday — with early first-place showings in the domestic box office rankings, Deadline Hollywood reports.
As of late Friday afternoon, “2016: Obama's America” had grossed $700,000 from 1,090 theaters. That compared with $300,000 for the new big-budget, Sylvester Stallone action flick “The Expendables 2,” which is playing in 3,355 theaters, Deadline Hollywood reports.

I read that by Sunday Expendables 2 will win the weekend as there will not be the same volume of organized bus trips , etc. for “2016” as there were Friday. We will see.
Is there much to gain by seeing the movie, if one already is convinced BHO is the worst President ever? Have listened to Rush, Sean & Levin all these years. I would think seeing the film would not be enjoyable considering travelling time, film’s subject .
Went to see it last night, it was amazing how quiet the theater was, at the end not a word....wonder if people were letting it sink in. It was good, for me there wasn’t new info, but D’Souza maps it out really well. For people who maybe have been feeling things were not right and that they were unsure of Obama, this is a real eye opener. I bet there are many many very stunned people right now who have been awoken for the first time. Wonder if search engines are seeing higher searches on Davis and ayers? Sure wish that video that the L.A. Times has been sitting on would appear. That would nail the door shut.
Has anyone actually SEEN a bus at any of these Friday showings? Just curious...
The Washington Post reviewer gave it 1.5 stars.
Mean while.. nary a mention of buses in front-page stories about The One..
"Thousands of Obama supporters from throughout the region gathered with a mere two hours' notice that "The One" would be there. . . ."

That is interesting. Can you please direct us to the source of
your information that D’Souza supports “islam-fascists”? There
are those who do not agree with D’Souza’s analysis of the reasons
for Islamic terrorism but I was not aware that he actually is
sympathetic to Islamo-fascists.
My husband and I went yesterday at the 1:45 showing. I was amazed to see the theater was packed with mostly Senior Citizens. With that kind of showing of Seniors, I now know they ARE NOT FOR OBAMA. I wonder if the later showings had younger people?
$2,067 PER SCREEN AVERAGE waxed everything in sight...
Saw the 7:30 show last night in a sold-out theater. Great, well-done movie, made even more effective by the writer/narrator’s style and empathy and intelligent insight. Could not have been better.
The audience was also a treat - quiet, polite, well-behaved; and - I think - not typical movie goers, judging from their amused reactions to all the juvenile-targeted admonitions about common courtesy in a theater.
I think this movie may be a game changer. And Lord knows we need a change of game.
The enemy of my enemy is the friend of my enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Prove it. I say you’re a liar. Prove me wrong.
Prove it. I say you’re a liar. Prove me wrong.
Saw it yesterday. 2pm matinee, about 15 people were there. I wouldn’t call it an anti -obama documentary or a pro -obama doc either. It was an effort to shed some light on about what are the life experiences that have shaped obama ‘s values and political beliefs, and what his future plans for the USA might be based on those beliefs. It’s based on obama’s own writings and words. Both liberals and conservatives have misconceptions about what obama is all about. The documentary is just doing what the press should have done long ago. I hope democrats go see it. Every voter needs to see it.
Do people not know how to do simple Google searches? Especially before calling a fellow Freeper a “liar”
“Does does Dinesh D’Souza support islam?”
