Anti-Obama Movie Rates #1 At Box Office

By Clash Daily / 26 August 2012 / 24 comments

Go see it when it comes to a theater near you. Better yet take your neighbor or co-worker who is still buying the Obama lies to the movie and then to the dinner (on you of course). It might be the cheapest way you ever helped your country.

Both online ticket-sellers Fandango and MovieTickets.com showed advance buying for 2016 Obama’s America were accounting for 35% to 28% respectively before this weekend. The pic is based on conservative author and commentator Dinesh D’Souza’s New York Times bestselling 2010 book The Roots Of Obama’s Rage and co-directed by D’Souza and John Sullivan and produced by Academy Award winner Gerald R. Molen (co-producer of Schindler’s List). It opened on July 13th in a preview on a single screen in Texas grossing almost $32,000 during its opening weekend, then expanded into 61 theaters including New York and Los Angeles. In August, the film widened to 169 theaters nationwide and expanded again this weekend. “Yes, I also didn’t believe it when I first saw the film taking off in pre-sales on Tuesday,” an exhibition insider tells me. “Because there’s not a lot of new product that’s taking off.”

In fact this is one of Summer 2012′s weakest movie weekends with holdovers like Universal’s The Bourne Legacy and Warner Bros’ The Dark Knight Rises expected to rank right behind like The Expendables 2 and well ahead of the new films. But none may even break $10M. Hollywood distribution experts expect2016 Obama’s America to fare similarly to that Kirk Cameron faith-based movieFireproof. It was #1 in Fandango’s advance sales and did remarkably well during its opening Friday – but then ended up somewhere around #4 at the box office for the weekend.

Among other new movies, Friday and weekend estimates are as follows: Sony’sPremium Rush $2.0-$2.5M Friday and $5.5M-$7.0M weekend, Open Road’s Hit And Run (which opened Wednesday) $1.3M-$1.8M Friday and $3.6M-$5.0M weekend for a $4.6M-$6.0M cume, and Warner Bros’ The Apparition $400K-$700K Friday for a $1M-$1.7M weekend.

Last weekend, 2016: Obama’s America grossed a strong $1.2M last weekend in 169 venues for a cumulative gross as of Thursday of $2.8M. It’s the #2 biggest indie documenatry of the year behind only The Weinstein Company’s Bully ($3.2 million) and already the #12 political documentary of all time. It will rise a lot higher in the rankings after this weekend.

2016 Obama’s America detractors decry it as a slick infomercial heavy with conspiracy theories. But D’Souza says he made the film to motivate moviegoers to question what an Obama second term would look like, and credits liberal documentary maker Michael Moore for the structure of the film: “When he released Fahrenheit 9/11 in 2004 ahead of the election, it sparked intense debate. I learned some lessons from Michael Moore, and hopefully he might learn some lessons from me about handling facts.”

Just saw the movie Saturday morning and it should be a must see for all legal voters.(the rest I don’t really care about). Helps explain how the big “O” thinks and why his slant on
how things should be, are different from most Americans. Love to hear the argument
agianst the movie from his supporters, would be interesting to say the least.

It is a great Movie. I read “the roots of Obama’s rage” by the same author last year. It is a great book. People need to understand our president. Danesh does a great job. All those that support him for free stuff our his government needs to take care of people concept need to see this to see that Obama is not driven by those things. That is all a sales job. The man really does hate America and he is hell-bent on our country’s destruction. Please encourage everyone you know to register and vote. I have dozens of votes in my own family and all will support Romney to rid ourselves of this clear and present danger – BHO.

I saw this movie yesterday. The theater was packed on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. Americans are concerned about the direction of their country and after seeing this movie, they should be, as long as Obama is president. The movie essentially vets Obama in a way that the MSM never did and never will do. I found myself growing increasingly angry with the MSM for its outrageous failure to thorough vet the man who currently occupies the White House. Had they done their job, I doubt that Obama would be president today. He has been influenced by his father in such a way that his vision for America is totally alien to our American experience and history. His vision for America has nothing at all in common with the vision of the Founding Fathers. Even previous Democractic presidents like FDR, Truman, Kennedy and Johnson would balk at who he is and how he wants to fundamentally change America. Obama has cloaked himself in the mantle of the Democratic Party, but he is not your ordinary Democrat. He is cut from a totally different cloth. Every American, regardless of party affiliation or no affiliation, should see this movie before casting their vote in November. The movie sets before the voting public a very clear question: “Do you want Obama’s vision for America or the Founding Father’s vision for America?” Vote accordingly, but be aware that re-electing Obama will bring upon this nation a change so radical that in 2016 few of us will recognize the America we grew up in and neither would Washington, Adams, Jefferson or Franklin. If you are a person of faith, start praying.

President Obama was interviewing for new accountants
to handle the books for his Obamacare scheme. Barack
asked the first applicant, “What does one plus one equal?”
The accountant was escorted out of the White House after answering,
“Two.” Barack then asked the next applicant, “What does one plus one equal?”
That one answered, “What do you want it to equal?” Obama promptly replied,
“You’ve got the job.”

Obama was leaving the country club golf course when
he was accosted by an armed robber who demanded,
“Give me all of your money!” Barack haughtily replied,
“Do you know who I am. I’m the President of the United States!”
The robber snarled back, “Then give me all MY money.”
Raymond

You have reached the office of the President of the United States.
President Obama is either away from his desk or not in the Oval Office
at this time. At the tone, please leave your name, your telephone number,
the size of the bailout or earmark that you are seeking and the aggregate
dollar amount of your campaign donations to date.

Barack Obama’s Budget Rules

1. If Obama calls deficit spending an investment, then it must not cost anything.

2. Cutting a billion dollars from the military justifies giving a trillion dollars to bankers.

3. When Obama sends a spending proposal to Congress, it doesn’t count if they want to spend even more.

4. If Obama reduces a proposed increase in spending, he counts it as a budget cut.

5. When Obama eliminates our deductions, the higher payments we make aren’t a tax increase.

6. Obama’s budget is like his golf game. He eventually winds up in the hole.

7. Higher taxes are Obama’s way to stop you from thriving too fast.

8. Reading an omnibus tax bill before signing it is bad luck.

9. If an entitlement program is off budget, it’s free.

10. Back room deals rock!

Saw the movie this past weekend, most excellent movie. Should be required viewing before anybody can vote. The best $7.50 I have ever spent. My wife went with me to see it and now her eyes are opened. She could not believe how this was so well hidden from the public and how nobody saw any of this before he was elected.

I watched this movie the day it first came out but since i had already read DREAMS FROM MY FATHER, AUDACITY of HOPE and THE ROOTS OF OBAMA’S RAGE it wasn’t anything new. It is a good movie and very revealing when it comes to Obama and the men and organizations behind him. The reasons he wants to weaken both our economy, our military and d bring down capitalism. It is too bad not enough people cared enough to read these and other books and publications for these facts. Judge Andrew P. Napolitano described America perfectly as it exist today in his book, A NATION OF SHEEP.

I am going Tuesday.

Went to see Batman at the first showing of the day because it is only $5.00, about 20 people there. Went to see 2016 first show again because $5.00 price. This show had about 150 people. And gave a standing ovation. There still hope for the USA.

I can’t add anything to the rave reviews posted before me. Just go see it. Insist that your friends, relatives, neighbors see it. Convince at least a few liberals and democrats to see it because it will help them understand what Obama meant when he said he wants to “fundamentally transform” our country.

  I agree with the others. It is a must see movie. It should be required in every High school. This is the vetting that should have happen in 2008 but never came close. Very well done and extremely interesting. Encourage all friends and family to see it.

I saw the movie on Friday. There were 14 people at the showing including me. They were all white and over 60. I question this story. The movie was a slick smean and a veriosn of Obama that came right out of the author’s head..
- PreacherCruz
  
  I question the truth of your post. IF you are an Obama supporter I doubt you would pay to see this movie. As to this VERSION of Obama coming right out of the authors head? He uses quotes from Obamas books and interviewed many people including Obamas half brother George. I guess telling the TRUTH is racist? I am a person of so called “mixed race” and I can tell you that in Elwood Indiana which many years ago was a KKK town there was more racial diversity shown in support of a REPUBLICAN candidate (Richard Mourdock) then one usually sees. It’s not about black VS white and it IS about wrong VS right… http://www.kjv-truth-ministries.org

  Did you bother reading “Dreams from My Farther “before you decided to vote or is your head buried in the sand?This from a “man ” who claimed “I will heal the planet and stop the seas from rising”Hello ! sounds like the statement of a crazy person,as in rubber room time!Do you want this fool in control of the nuclear football?

This is NOT an anti-Obama film, it IS a documentary. People from BOTH political parties should watch this excellent film !
Maccabeus

Correction: I would not call this an “anti-Obama” movie. It was a factual, thoroughly researched vetting of Obama based on his own words and personal history. Dinesh D’Souza simply helped us to connect the dots. Styling it as “anti-Obama” could dissuade reasonable people who currently support Obama from seeing. They may get the impression that it is just Republican propaganda. It is not. Go and decide for yourselves and vote accordingly.
Barbann

Saw it Sunday. D’Souza did a great job! Only thing I was disappointed in was he didn’t take it further as does Aaron Klein’s book, “Fool Me Twice.” For the rest of the story, read it. If you think 2016 did a good job in revealing the person, this book reveals the progressive agenda for the next 4 years and Obama isn’t the only one involved.
KALINE

Saw the movie Friday..It gave me a crystal clear understanding of why this man hates America…where he came from, why he has the ideology he does, who his mentors were. If he was vetted like this before 08 he would not be sitting in the White House right now…Amazingly factual ..every American needs to see this film..problem is, the lleft isn’t buying it..

The Sandy Hook Massacre

The Sandy Hook Massacre: When Seconds Count, the Police are Minutes Away:

"Doug Giles and his team over at ClashDaily.com cut through the crap to expose what have become modern day human slaughter houses: gun free zones. Their candid arguments about allowing teachers to protect themselves and the students in their care through concealed carry should be taken seriously. As a result maybe, just maybe, we’ll be able to save some lives someday rather than call the cops to report the body count." - Katie Pavlich. News Editor,Townhall.com and NYT's Best-selling Author, Fast and Furious: Barack Obama's Bloodiest Scandal and Its Shameless Cover-Up

"There were many lessons to draw from the horrific Newtown, CT school shooting. Unfortunately, most of the media and political Left came up with the wrong ones. But not Doug Giles and his writers over at ClashDaily.com. In the wake of this horror, they offered a robust defense of American citizens' right to bear arms and common sense answers to societal violence. The Sandy Hook Massacre: When Seconds Count, the Police are Minutes Away is a great resource for those interested in this vital, Constitutional issue." - S.E. Cupp, MSNBC Host and The Blaze Contributor
