Dinesh D’Souza’s movie is doing great at the box office, having already earned enough to cover its budget.
NEW YORK – Early reports from its debut weekend indicate Dinesh D’Souza’s new documentary “America” is opening with a strong box office nationwide.
Preliminary box-office counts indicate “America” is overall No. 3 in per screen average attendance in the United States and No. 10 in overall box-office receipts, a position considered strong in that “America” is opening on only 1,000 screens nationwide, in competition with films opening on more than 3,000 screens.
Box-office returns for “America” on Friday were up 60 percent from Thursday, with competitors, “Tammy” up only 17 percent, “Earth to Echo” up 5 percent and “Deliver Us From Evil” down 5 percent.
Producers of “America” have reported to WND that people in the theaters are crying upon viewing the film and breaking out spontaneously into the national anthem.
Who says patriotism can’t be successful at the theaters?
Dinesh D’Souza‘s America, which expanded nationwide Wednesday after opening in Houston and Atlanta last weekend, prospered on Friday, soaring more than 60 percent day-over-day to $1 million. That compares, for example, to a 16 percent bump for Tammy. America is only playing in 1,100 locations, far fewer theaters than the other new holiday films.
America, placing No. 11, won’t match the $6.5 million nationwide launch of D’Souza’s hit documentary 2016: Obama’s America two years ago, but is nevertheless expected to pull in a respectable $4.5 million for the five days.
Lionsgate is distributing America, which debunks the narrative that the United States has been a force of evil across the world through a combination of historical re-creations and interviews with some of the country’s harshest critics, including former Weather Underground radical Bill Ayers.
