Looks like Birth of a Nation may end up being a Bust...

Sure it does...
Don't forget the DVD. I'm taking my children and their cousins first thing in the morning.
Saw it earlier today at 2:30 in the city. Theatre was half full.
Easily one of the best films I've ever seen.

Y'all think the mainstream media wants this movie to be successful? LOL. They are praying that this movie is a "flop" in their mind.
You...the few....the brave...the bold. 
You best believe it had a huge effect. If it wasn't for bgol, i didn't even know it was debuting this weekend. Saw it last night thanks to bgol reminding me, took my girl with me.
Might go see it over the weekend.
You're not seeing it?You...the few....the brave...the bold.
Damn you in my neck of the woods. I usually travel all down to arundel mills cause i love the theater and restaurants down there
Sure it does... Its bigger than the level of granularity you are speaking to it on...
Yeah it's a few of us on here out this way.
Still ain't been to Arundel Mills movie theatre though.
You been to the drive in joint in Middle River?
Link to the article please. This shit might be from Brietbart or Stormfront or both. I know for a fact that BON did better than movies with way bigger budgets and more screens this weekend.
Link please.
Link please.
Been to Bengies a few times yes good place when go with a group a people. Gets crowded in the summer Last movie i saw there was Age of Ultron
I don't know what some people's view of a flop is but the film broke even the first day. That's considered a success in every business model I can ever recall. With so many factors working against it, I think that's very promising. My $.02
I want to take my child to this.
Are there any xxx scenes in the movie?

No just some extreme gore and disturbing images. Some things in the film will stick with you forever. That's not necessarily a bad thing. My daughter is 7 and I won't let her see this until she's at least 10.
Ok, thanks for posting the link OP. The article says that the box office OVERALL IS TAKING A HIT BECAUSE OF HURRICANE MATTHEW....MEANING EVERYONE IS NOT HITTING THEIR NUMBERS.
Context is a muthafucka.
what did he say? i missed all this shit
He did good on 60 Minutes also, but it's too late.
I wonder if he got with a PR firm after.

I read books on Nat Turner. Loved'em. Loved Him. Admired him. So no.
The movie was in less theatres by a whole lot out of the the movies which are out except Queen of Katwe which was in even less which explains the numbers.
IMO He fucked up His early interviews on the subject.
“Seventeen years ago, I experienced a very painful moment in my life. It resulted in it being litigated. I was cleared of it. That’s that.”
That makes it sound lIke he's almost apologizing for something. In subsequent interviews he took a harder stance and specifically told the press that he was falsely accused but it was too late.
after church tomorrow...watch. Numbers gonna go up.
You haven't seen a ton of commercials on it?
I don't even watch much network TV besides sports and I've seen a bunch
The studio paid 17.5 mil for it, plus other cost like marketing. So no, it didn't break even.
Yep
When they talk about white films they compare it to the budget. You always hear "Blair Witch did 250 Mil with a 60k budget" for example. It always stipulations with black film numbers.
And even based on the other numbers, 10 mill day 1 is good, metric wise.
