Gun Control Movie is a FLOP

Hollywood’s Gun-Control Dud

Miss Sloane, like the gun-control movement as a whole, is a flop.
Quote
Miss Sloane, a highly anticipated movie demonizing the NRA and calling for gun control, has bombed. The movie succeeded only in emphasizing the top-down nature of the gun-control campaign and how little intensity there is for more regulations.

The movie seemed to have everything going for it. Liberal movie critics loved it, and it was backed by a hefty ad budget along with heaps of favorable news coverage. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association has already nominated the movie’s star, Jessica Chastain, for a prestigious Golden Globe, considered a strong predictor of the Oscars.

But two weeks after its national release, it has made only $3.2 million. During its second weekend, it averaged just $102 per movie theater per day. With a ticket price of $10.30 per adult, that comes to an average of only 9.9 people a day seeing the movie in any given theater. At least people had no problem finding a good seat.

And it wasn’t for lack of trying to get people to show up. Out of the 200 highest-grossing movies of 2016, only ten exceeded the $15.9 million television advertising budget of Miss Sloane, and seven of those did so by very small amounts. Miss Sloane spent more than the Star Wars spinoff Rogue One, Star Trek, Pete’s Dragon, Arrival, Doctor Strange, and Hacksaw Ridge. It had twice the advertising budget of such hits as Sully, The Girl on the Train, and The Secret Life of Pets. . . .

I saw some liberal reviewers trying to defend the movie as not being so much anti-gun but more about the power of lobbyists in general.

Uh huh. Tell me another lie liberals.

After a decade and a half of the American people rejecting Hollyweird's Hate-Bush "antiwar" message movies, Hollyweirders move on to anti-gun message movies? Like Americans haven't been hearing these anti-gun messages for 4 or 5 DECADES? Hollyweirders need to hear Americans' message: REJECTED!

I'm kinda thinking this was made to coincide with a Hillary victory celebration.
