Of course. Also, it's a movie deifying a dude who seems like he's just making a bunch of shit up whilst grifting cash off bank managers and shit who he takes on 'raids' with him. If he had the budget, this guy would have been selling tickets to go and rescue trafficked kids from the wreck of the Titanic.

How do the theater owners feel about this? In general, movie theaters don't make much money off ticket sales - at least not for the first month or two. They make their money off of overpriced concessions. If the tickets are being sold but no one is showing up, then no one is buying a $12 tub of buttered popcorn with an $8 coke.

Did the producers make a sweetheart deal with the exhibitors to give them the lion's share of the ticket proceeds in exchange for letting them pull this astroturfing stunt?

Probably, because it’s a super boring movie, all politics aside.

Yes they are. Angel Studios bought the rights to distribute the film 5 years after it was filmed and has been pushing a "Pay it Forward" program on their website that largely is causing this.

Yes, my hair stylist told me I have to watch it...in the theater to support the producers. She made it sound like it was about human trafficking from a non partisan view. From what I read it's pure qanon shit.

Good think she has nice tits or I'd be looking for a new stylist.

It's not about qanon

Yes, that's totally more likely that people/organizations/groups are spending hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars to buy movie tickets than it is that she went into another theater at the multiplex showing a different film at the end of its run.

I watched it. It's about child trafficking. That's literally it. It's pretty good. And super sad that this sort of thing happens and the media never covers it. Like, ever. Sad to see that people won't watch because qtards pissed on it and called it theirs.
