And millennial "Christians" were probably a big part of that haul.
The great apostasy is in full implementation.

Another benchmark in the degradation of our culture. I don’t understand why ANYONE would want to watch this!

Good point!
“Violence Against Women” has been a huge “project’ of Feminism for at least half a century.
Yet, not a peep from those hags over this move, or for islamic honor killings, FGM, and Burkhas for that matter either.

Funny. It broke records, but from some of the comments they made, it did not meet expectations.

I meant they projected it making more money than it has.

Fascinating, in its weird way.....the reviews for this film were pretty much universally sub-tepid. But it caught that vibe “I/we have to see this”.

“Funny. It broke records, but from some of the comments they made, it did not meet expectations.”
I believe the calculus is more along the lines of 100 MM women saying to themselves “I am not willing to say/admit I did not see it”. So it doesn’t matter what a piece of glud it is. It is that issue of Cosmo/People/Us in the supermarket checkout line that infallibly extracts dollars from the curious when the more detached mind thinks “and you would pay money for that?”

Girls sure have changed from the 50’s and 60’s. I’m trying to imagine my grandmother going on a date with her beau to see a sadomasochist bondage movie . . . nope . . . just does not compute. Even my mother for that matter.

Because it is a film about a rich simp that showers money and gifts on a female. A “bad boy” with a bank account makes most women idiots.
To: C19fan
Not at all surprising it didn’t cost much to make. I read somewhere that a full 20 minutes of the movie was sex scenes. Those are virtually ‘free’. lol
Can’t comment further, because I haven’t seen it, though my wife has read the books.

Not a peep from feminists.Feminists destroyed their credibility back in the 1990s when they lined up to fellate Bill Clinton in spirit while they trashed the women who accused him of sexual harassment and rape.
