Police: We’re why ‘The Hateful Eight’ is bombing at box office

Quentin Tarantino’s “The Hateful Eight” is a box-office disaster, and the police officers who boycotted the movie are taking credit for its disappointing ticket sales.

The violent Western was released on Christmas Day and has grossed $42.9 million so far. At this rate, it’s set to barely pass its production budget of $50 million — meaning big losses for the Weinstein Co., which spent another $25 million to $35 million on prints and promotion.

Police Benevolent Association President Patrick J. Lynch, the first union official to call for a boycott of the film, said, “With nearly 1 million law enforcement officers in this country who have families and friends who support them, the impact that police have economically on a product or project is immense. The law enforcement boycott of cop-hater Quentin Tarantino’s movie is one demonstration of that economic power.”

Lynch called for the boycott after Tarantino spoke at an Oct. 24 anti-cop rally in New York. “I’m a human being with a conscience,” Tarantino said. “And when I see murder, I cannot stand by . . . I have to call the murderers the murderers.”

I wanted to see the actors break “the fourth wall” and shoot the director.

You may see that in the Deadpool movie!

Gratuitous violence seems to be his style.

(an understatement)

GRAPHIC violence is his trademark.
