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.

Although I've been writing/blogging about Obama's background since he became a State Senator here in Illinois and exposing his roots, I'm still going to see this movie tonight - if for no other reason than to help prop up the box office numbers. That's capitalism IMO - voting with my dollars in every product or service I buy.

And hey, if I learn something new about the POC in the White House, all the better.

OOPS! Correction:

Valerie Jarrett must be on a tear!
She’s probably got O’Bozo hiding from her in the bathroom.

Freepers need to be aware that Dinesh D’Souza, the maker of the film, has a history of supporting islam-fascists such as the ones that attacked the WTC, and has supported employment of islamists by the Obama administration such as Obama adviser and Muslim Brotherhood operative Dalia Mogahed.

I just read the 2nd review in the post #5 link. This sentence really got me:

"It too explores his father's influences from known communists like Frank Marshall Davis, and how Obama may have had contact with Bill Ayers, a Weather Underground terrorist. D'Souza carefully touches on these subjects and refuses to hammer his ideology into anyone's head."

MAY HAVE HAD CONTACT WITH BILL AYERS? Geeze, it is a well-known FACT that Obama wrote a promotion piece in Ayers book: A Kind And Just Parent: The Children Of Juvenile Court. I can't believe this isn't in the movie as it is a FACT and Obama's picture is even in Ayers book! See for yourself:

The proven link of Ayers and Obama

can someone clarify this...I do not believe for one second this is the number one movie in the US

and I was reading Dinesh in the early 80s after Dartmouth when he wrote for Policy Review and we had a mutual friend

I think NewsMax just snipped a tiny snapshot gross for a big header

but the film is doing good considering

when will Weinstein pick it up...lol

$300,000 for the new big-budget, Sylvester Stallone action flick “The Expendables 2,” which is playing in 3,355 theaters,

90 bucks per theater is pretty damn lame.

Where is he getting his numbers from? Expendables 2 did over $2M at the box office Thursday. 2016 did $226K on Thursday. The revenue per theater ($1,335) was pretty good. If it was $300K in 3,355 theaters on Friday, then that's a per theater gross of under $100, which is terrible.
