(Vanity): Apparently, Dinesh D'Souza's "America: The Movie" is a hit in Metrowest Boston

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

Keep track of the movie at Box Office Mojo

The per-screen average was $535 for Wednesday and Thursday, which compares with all of the other major releases, from #3 on down. #3/$869, #4/$803, etc.

In daily gross, it placed at #12. Per screen, it places at #9. His movie needs a good opening week to get wider release. Right now it's in limited releasse.

BTW, "America" is the subject of Megyn Kelly's show tonight (7/4).

However, it is just going to preach to the choir.

FRiend, truly -- the choir is bigger than the congregation.

Liberal democrats are the minority. Their candidates are in office because they cheat -- they gin, they manipulate, they harvest, they outright make up votes. They even raise the dead. Guys like Al Franken, Harry Reid, and Obama are in office because fake, ginned votes tipped the balance.

The liberals have to cheat because probably six in ten Americans, real legit legal productive working Americans, object to Obama, Reid, Franken, and all the rest of the liberal left and all the nanny-state tyranny it represents. The only reason these leftist tyrants win is because they cheat -- they have to cheat because they are the minority.

Americans sick of government tyranny need to stop blaming their fellow Americans for "electing these idiots," wake up, and understand that limited government conservatism represents most Americans who are increasingly disenfranchised and demoralized. We must start perceiving the truth.

I saw the film this afternoon with about eight other movie theater patrons. None of us left until the final credits rolled.

As good as the film was, I really enjoyed D’Souza’s take down of the myth of American conquest in the Mexican American War. A badly outnumbered American army drove back the Mexicans and actually occupied Mexico in its entirety before returning North. The USA paid for the land in dispute. It was a thorough rebuttal of the La Raza party line.

One thing I remember about that area: the cemeteries are filled with flags on the 4th because they're filled with WWII veterans.

Reading the headstones is a very humbling experience.

Just got back from seeing this from Solomon Pond mall - a metro-west theater. Despite the rain, theater was half-full. Robust round of applause from all at the end!

> If I did see it, I wouldn’t tell you for fear of an IRS audit.

Don’t pay for a ticket with a credit or debit card - use cash.

Have you ever been in Batavia?

Just asking.

Government K-12 schooling is and **Always** has been single-payer, socialist-entitlement, and compulsory schooling. I call them SS schools ( single-payer and socialist-entitlement).

Not only does the U.S. need to go back to pre-Dewey, it needs to go back to a **totally** PRIVATE system of delivering education.

Government SS schools were are progressive idea of the 1800s. Progressives have always controlled teacher training and curriculum development. Progressives have always pushed the the boundaries of society's mores and ethics. Progressives have always pushed for greater and greater secularization and not **celebrate** forcing godlessness on captive children.

Government schools have **always** been a First Amendment and freedom of conscience abomination. It only took one to three generations of government SS schooling to give the nation Woodrow Wilson and Franklin D. Roosevelt. The nation has been swirling down the socialist sewer ever since.

As the fireworks go off to celebrate our freedom, Dinesh D’Souza’s ‘’America’’ has just surpassed Hillary Clinton’s ‘’Hard Choices’’ on Amazon.com’s Bestseller List. God bless America.

Nah...get a lot of laughs about the screen name, but bottom line it came from a label "Batavia" of lobster tails from New Guinea we used to import/sell when I was in the dead-fish bidness years ago.

The "Ern" part comes from a pal's now dead pet goat who was named Ernie...............I'm a sick bastid, I guess...

I just came home from seeing the movie. Bono's remarks were poignant. I thank him for his view and willingness to make his statement. it should be seen in every high school and college history class. My fear is that the tipping point has been lost. We hear very little about liberty and freedom, or self-evident truths.

What D'Souza did give us is a guide to refuting the inain assertions of the left. No, America is not perfect, but it is more benevolent than any other nation and Disesh gives us a fairly simple refutation of the critics of America. It also does a great job making the connection between Alinsky and Obama and Hildabeast.

I saw it on Thursday. Not much new information for us long-time right-wing kooks. But it's valuable because it gets the names of the main culprits out there before the public: Howard Zinn, Noam Chomsky, Saul Alinsky. Those men have done more to destroy the U.S. than the Rosenbergs could have ever dreamed of doing. With a Communist in the White House, it seems like a good time for a Red Scare. It's awesome that d'Souza shows HIMSELF in handcuffs and sitting in jail! The movie doesn't throw any red meat to us Islamophobes. But it's a GOOD MOVIE. I was constantly thinking: "Who would have thought to photograph that from THAT angle?" It's the proceeds from 2016 that have made d'Souza a voice that Obama can't suppress.

[Arthur McGowan]

That reminds me. We are the beneficiaries of the new technology. The cost to transmit a movie to theaters by satellite, or mail high definition DVDs, is a tiny fraction of the cost of prints on film. D’Souza could never open on a thousand or thousands of screens just five years ago.

"Black Americans have been taught by self-serving leftists that because there was once slavery in parts of the U.S., there is no such thing as liberty. "

I can't believe that so many people can be so stupid, as to not know that the slaves were freed by Abraham Lincoln, the first Republican, and the DemoNazi party has always been the party of the KKK, Bull Connor with his fire hoses and attack dogs, and segregation, lynchings and bombings, and of course slavery. But 95% of blacks are Dems. Unbelievable.

Batavia was the name of the capital of the Dutch East Indies (present day Indonesia). It was replaced with Jakarta.

Everyone should take the opportunity to see it. D’Souza needs to do an epic documentary series about the United States.

I hope he continues to make documentary fills for a long.

He’s a 21st-Century Alex de Tocqueville.

[KittyKares]

I just finished the book today

How does it compare to the movie?

[depenzz]

I haven’t seen the movie but from the few parts I have seen on Kelly Files, it appears to be about the same.
