Saw a short article that it is not meeting expected sales in its limited theater opening.
Checked the movie ticket sales for the Top 100 for Friday Night, but nothing was posted.
Either that means sales were quite poor, or the number of theaters is very small, or the data hasn’t come in yet.
Every Leftist in the MSM and Hollywood is hoping this movie fails.
Might take a while to find out.
I don’t pay much attention to the info, which can be skewed. I recall when An American Carol was first released. Some theater managers were applying the ticket sales to liberal films being previewed at the same time in the same theater. And that’s just one example, esp. if the film isn’t a block buster such as ‘2016’.
It’s in over 3,000 theaters, which is a wide release.
Based on Friday’s box office, it’s projected to earn 13 million for the weekend. Not stellar, but Clint Eastwood’s films rarely open huge; instead, they open modestly and play forever.
So you’re right that it will take some time to determine whether “Trouble with the Curve” is a hit or not.
The MSM might have the power to push polls, but with today’s electronic box office reporting, they can’t skew the numbers and make a hit seem like a failure or vice versa.
If the MSM had had their way, “2016” would have vanished without a trace. But just as they ignored the movie, moviegoers ignored them, and now “2016” is cleaning up at the box office.
