Bombed at the box office. Why? According to the WSJ, rape allegations against it's director and star are why.

I'm sure that didn't help, but I have a different theory.

First of all, football.

Secondly, the election.

Third, white people are probably sick and tired of movies telling them how much they suck.

Fourth, it's a fall release, which is where Hollywood puts shitty movies.

Fifth, the ad campaign sucked. I was barely aware this was a thing, and even then I thought it was a TV series until last night.

It will find its target audience though, the people getting the bootleg from the barber shop, reminding them how badly the white man keeps them down.

We need a like button. That made me laugh.
