Go Woke, Go Broke strikes again, "First Man," flag free movie fails at box office....

Yes...insult the one country on the planet that actually has an emotional attachment to the movie you make....and expect the other countries to pick up the tab.......

Box Office Fail: Flag-Free 'First Man' Flops

First Man tanked at the box office, coming in well below expectations, with just a $16.2 million opening weekend.
At worst, the story of Neil Armstrong’s historic trip to the moon was projected to do much better, anywhere between $19 million and $21 million. Keep in mind, though, that those projections are usually downplayed as a means to save face and to inspire free publicity when a film over-performs.

In other words, $16 million is a catastrophe for a movie that probably cost $100 million to $125 million to produce and publicize.

Directed by Oscar-winner Damien Chazelle, First Man roared out of elite film festivals with a ton of buzz and rave reviews. The movie took a big tumble, though, when moviegoers learned that one of the most iconic moments of the last century was arrogantly removed for touchy-feely and oh-so woke globalist purposes.

Note that the movie never once insults any country.

The movie was a 60M, made a third of it back opening weekend. It will be a profit mechanism for Universal and Dreamworks.

Sorry to disappoint you guys.

Nah...no I'm not.

 

[theHawk]

I listened to a review and they said there was almost no mention of the USSR and the reason we needed to go there: to beat the communists.

There are also a lot of close ups of Ryan Gossling’s expressionless face, if you are into that sort of thing.

That number doesn’t count the marketing, which is usually the same amount of the production cost.

I sense a re-write, re-shoot, re-release version incoming, where the lead character protagonist, a closet lycanthrope, "wolfs out" upon setting foot on mother moon and eats the rest of his spaceship crew. In the third act, he returns to Earth, climbs out of the capsule and transforms into a teenaged Michael J. Fox, who quickly rises to the top of the NBA all star player ranks, eats lots and lots of innocent, barely legal teen girls under the full moon, and then morphs back into Ryan Gosling after Russian spies shoot him with silver vodka laced, exploding bullets. At the very end, it turns out Neil Armstrong was an SJW Russian infil-traitor all along.

This new version of the film goes on to gross 90 million on its opening night before becoming a cult classic.

So you are happy? They showed the flag. The emphasis was on Neil Armstrong. I will watch it on TV. I read about it.

ok… It also doesn’t court the amount it’s going to make on DVD, international releases, streaming via the cable box, HULU, etc…

If it's not white patriotic propaganda then conservatives will side with the state in opposition.

Nope...it just has to be faithful to what actually happened and not insult the people of the country where it happened......

It did not insult the country and was faithful to what actually happened in the life the movie was about.

Yes...it insulted the country..... like going to a dinner party and not introducing your wife...... did you openly insult her...no...will you pay for it in the end....you betcha....

 

[BlackFlag]

Frankly, I've always thought Neil Armstrong was a communist and a traitor because he said "giant leap for MANKIND" instead of "AMERICA." What a globalist, liberal piece of trash.

Nope. You're just a butthurt little snowflake. The movie is about Neil Armstrong, not about you Trumptards' victim mentality.

Name a single instance where the movie insults America.

They can always recut it. Just put in the original footage. That would help. I'm not going to see it. I don't know anyone that is.
