Dinesh D’Souza’s ‘America’ a hit at the box office, increases 60% on Fourth of July

Dinesh D’Souza’s movie is doing great at the box office, having already earned enough to cover its budget.

From WND:

NEW YORK – Early reports from its debut weekend indicate Dinesh D’Souza’s new documentary “America” is opening with a strong box office nationwide.

Preliminary box-office counts indicate “America” is overall No. 3 in per screen average attendance in the United States and No. 10 in overall box-office receipts, a position considered strong in that “America” is opening on only 1,000 screens nationwide, in competition with films opening on more than 3,000 screens.

Box-office returns for “America” on Friday were up 60 percent from Thursday, with competitors, “Tammy” up only 17 percent, “Earth to Echo” up 5 percent and “Deliver Us From Evil” down 5 percent.

Producers of “America” have reported to WND that people in the theaters are crying upon viewing the film and breaking out spontaneously into the national anthem.

Who says patriotism can’t be successful at the theaters?

There is a huge opportunity here.

Quickly produce several hundred thousand DVDs, then advertise on conservative websites that for just $5, including S&H, a DVD will be mailed to a family of their choice. It will be a “full frame” version for television viewing.

This won’t hurt DVD and Blu-Ray sales, and may even increase them, as people prefer Widescreen and bonus materials.

We all applauded after the movie. I may be a Bono fan after this movie.

D”Souza did a very nice job of presenting Truth to the Alinsky, Zinn, etc. lies, and indoctrination of our children.

We really need government OUT of “education”. As JS Mill stated, and he was correct: Government control of schools will only create slaves for the State.

I didn't like his "2016" very much. I thought Joel Gilbert's "Dreams from my Real Father" was much better. I'm not going to waste my money on this Islamic apologist.

And how does Dinesh feel about when one of the Muslims he constantly defends (Obama's Freudian slip)might have him thrown him in prison?

I love FREEPERS.....so funny. Tammy has made 18 million on a 20 million dollar budget. 22 Jump Street has made 150 million on a 50 million dollar budget. The Fault of the stars has made 114 million on a 12 million dollar budget. America has made 2 million on a what budget?

I would rather have made The Fault in the Stars than America to be honest with you....at least financially.

I just saw the movie. It was very well done. Only one minor error that I noticed—in a scene set in 1831, a congregation is singing the hymn “Eternal Father, Strong to Save,” written in 1861.

I’m surprised bad guys like Ward Churchill and Eric Dyson allowed him to interview them.

Always have been a Bono/U2 fan. Now this will make my support even more solid.

Wow! $909/screen. #3. That is better than could be hoped.

More theaters should pick up the movie now. It's outstanding. Try to bring a friend or relative, or buy the DVD for a friend or relative, especially young skulls full of mush.

I am so grateful and relieved We have an answer to that Jabba the Hut, Michael Moore.

I once heard and interview with Dinesh. He said he kept asking himself, "What can I do?" He found a good answer.
