I wouldn’t worry about it. It’s not exactly the kind of movie crowds flock to or brag about seeing around the water cooler.
Limited audience for that movie at theater prices. Honestly, it was not very good. We saw it last weekend but it was rather disjointed. His premise was fine, but even die hard conservatives are going to shy away from a movie that compares the Democratic Party to the Nazis, no matter how apt the descriptions.
Kind of a downer title.
Democrats, KKK and Nazis? Hardly touching modern touchstones. I myself have no interest in it. A film on the 1965 immigration act’s impact or the Great Society’s disaster would have been more topical, and help move Blacks to our side.
At this point he is about where Hannity’s movie was and looks to a total of about $8-9m with DVD sales, or profitable by a little.
Each DD movie does less well than the last, but if he gets to $9 he should be able to raise $$ for another.
Rotten Tomatoes which reviews movies gives it a 0 (zero) rating on a 1-10 scale. Totally biased and criminal!
IMDB (Internet Movie Data Base) same thing.
But viewers’ rating and comments are 100% positive.
Some bright lawyers must MUST come up with a way to challenges all this bias, against Political Adversaries, Against White People, etc. Anti-trust? 14th amendment?
Hell White people are a small minority of world’s population. Think about it.
Of course the Justice Dept is totally castrated. Freedom Watch and ACLJ is all we have.
Ratings & Reviews
0 - Frank Scheck: The Hollywood Reporter For all of its incendiary arguments, Death of a Nation is ultimately tedious and repetitive. No one expects, of course, that D'Souza would make a thoughtful, balanced or historically accurate documentary. But is it unreasonable to hope that he make one that doesn't bore the pants off us? show more
0 - Peter Sobczynski: Roger Ebert.com
The only thing preventing me from dubbing this one of the dumbest movies of any type that I have ever seen in my life is the fact that I am not entirely certain that something as shabbily constructed and artistically bankrupt as this actually qualifies as a movie in the first place. show more
25 - Roger Moore: Movie Nation
Throughout Death of a Nation, which has the usual attacks on Clintons and George Soros and the third act “patriotic performances by D’Souza approved singers, even an African American choir, the man finds himself coddling Nazis.
With libtard entities giving reviews like this - which contrast sharply with reviews given by conservative radio broadcasters- who would go to see it?
Since Trump the majority of the country finally has some hope to save this country from a very corrupt government and their media/leftist associates. So trying to peddle a movie in this era called, “Death of a Nation” is probably is going to flop.
The title sure doesn’t help.
If you enjoyed his previous movies, this one won’t dissappoint.
D’Souza opens the door for other documentaries to be made.
He should do one called ‘Fake News’ that exposes the MSM. There’s enough material there to do a series.
I don’t think anyone expects these to be barn-burners. If only because half of the potential audience won’t see it because their world-view would be destroyed if they did.
It will do well in DVD/BR sales. I am not much of a theater person thanks to my nice HT set up, so I will just order the BR.
Most movies do drop significantly after the first or second week, usually in the 30-50% range. That’s why studios get the maximum percentage of shared 1st week ticket revenue. The theaters get an ever increasing percentage in the weeks that follow.
As other people said, this movie is built for expected home sales to achieve eventually profitability.
I saw it on Saturday.

Not your typical summer time flick so it’s not surprising.
Plus, I hear the special effects are not impressive(snicker, snicker)
More discussion, including mine & several other takes on the movie here:

“Democrats are the real racists” is a stupid premise, “Communists are actually fascists” is even stupider.
Democrats are the nonwhite party. Real fascists build concentration camps for communists.
There’s a reason the domestic Left obsesses about “fascists”. It’s because liberal democracy is their friend and fascism is their enemy.
Calling them “fascists” is just ridiculous.
$4.5 million for a documentary is pretty good. It’ll end up as one of the Top 25 documentaries ever, and most of the ones above it will be concert-related. It’ll probably be a top-10 political documentary. This is, of course, down far from “Obama’s America,” but still pretty good.
We went to see that movie and wound up having to go 75 miles to see it due to no screens showing it closer. I asked the manager what gives and he told me they were closing it down after that evening's showing due to threats from the two suited men who came to the theater who said they were representing the projectionist's union. If they did NOT stop showing the movie, they were going to pull every union projectionist from their multiplex theater. They were doing the same thing at every theater he had contact with. He resisted as long as he could until his two projectionist came to him and said they were going to be leaving the next day if he did not shut it down.
Many of us who rather buy a Conservative book?
