The mental gymnastics these shill media critics are doing is amazing. I could swear that normally slavery is bad. But when black people do it they think it’s ok?
I heard a news report it was a box office success garnering 19 million it’s opening weekend….
“The Woman King” tallied $19 million at the domestic box office during its opening weekend, exceeding the $12 million that Sony predicted.
More than 1.4 million people saw the film during its first three days in theaters, according to data from EntTelligence.
In comparison:
Top Gun: Maverick has outperformed expectations at the global box office, taking $248m (£196m) worldwide.
The fact that “The Woman King” cost $50 million to make, not adding the tens of millions in marketing costs
Usually a film that makes under cost of production the first weekend is a massive failure, they’re probably riding on having a streaming service pay indefinitely to host the movie because woke.
TBF late Sept is much different than summer blockbuster season, but this time last year Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings made $28m on it's 3rd week of release (75m opening, released Sep 3). The top new movie Cry Macho made 6m and I have no idea what that even is. Yes Shang-Chi is MCU but the character & actor was unknown.
2020 Tenet made 6.3m on it's 4th week, 9m on it's opening (also 9/3).
In 2019 the Downton Abbey movie debuted to 44m despite having to compete against 2 other new films including Rambo: Last Blood which at 3rd place made 24.5m...this was pre-sniffles though.
Of course they are shilling hard for this. Right now a movie about black people taking down evil white men, a female fighting the patriarchy, or any lgbt stuff is almost guaranteed an Oscar nomination and a bunch of other awards. I mean look where modern sci-fi wins awards. Star Trek discover has won awards, that average at best episode of black mirror with two women in love got lavish praise when there were much better episodes and I could go on and on.
I mean sure, get it the highest ratings, get it in the Oscars to win best picture
As although no one will care to watch it, it'll be great in the future to go "didn't you give out an Oscar for a film praising a group that enslaved and sacrificed humans for alcohol?"
I’ve done paid promotion before, aka fake reviews. The reviews have a classic fake pattern to them.
They all get out in 1-2 sentences, and many reference a person by first and last name. I wouldn’t be surprised if the actress herself bought the reviews, or her agent.
Why does this movie even exist? It's a whitewashing of women yet again being on the side of an evil regime, but hardly anyone knew before they drew attention to it, so why did they need to whitewash it?
Because Hollywood ran with the most woke story they could imagine, which only intersects with the facts at a single point where there is a woman warrior society.
Some absolute gems in the replies.
What we need is some 10/10 black slavers did it better reviews
The mental gymnastics these shill media critics are doing is amazing. I could swear that normally slavery is bad. But when black people do it they think it’s ok?
Well sure, it’s not racist when blacks enslaved blacks right?
That’s their logic. “Well I’m being enslaved and oppressed by a cruel master, but hey he is black”
At least the person who owns me is the appropriate skin color- anti-racists
Ha! I could honestly see them saying that.
Slavery = involuntary servitude + power - human sacrifices

In comparison:
So any amount is a success as long as the studio sufficiently low balls their prediction.
At this point, does anyone even trust the box office numbers? These people lie about everything.

Not to mention the costs of marketing. They're going to lose fifty million on this, and that's hilarious.
Netflix or Prime?
For a soyny film it’s a toss up could throw in Hulu and HBO max too
It wouldn't surprise me if Sony bought their own tickets.
True. If publishers can buy their own books, I see no reason why studios can't buy tickets to their own movie.

Domestic vs global #'s
Even if US domestic was 1/4 which is generous you’re looking at a massive discrepancy

My brain: “The woman king..?”
“You mean, uhh, The Queen…??”

The script is clearly visible in their one sentence, often one liner "reviews":
Amazing(ly), Empower(ed, ing), Wonderful, Powerful, must see, Oscar.
In some cases, the paid reviewers get clearly confused and just write incongruent EBay type reviews:
recia b 5 stars verified : "The process was super easy and fast!"
Corliss 5 stars verified: "The movie was Fantastic, customer service was excellent also"

All the women in the film are black, the fuck are you talking about?
"Whitewash" has nothing to do with white skin, it's a pigment used to colour and protect timber and brick buildings.
Whitewashing of history is defined by hiding or using deceptive framing to prevent a dark reality being revealed.
For example, the lack of interest in Ukrainian war crimes is whitewashing by their vile feminist handlers.
