Oprah Winfrey latest movie “A Wrinkle In Time” just premiered, and it’s officially been labeled a flop.
The award-winning book that the movie is based on is a science fiction fantasy about Christianity’s concept of good versus evil, but Winfrey and the Black Lives Matter director Ava DuVernay erased Christianity, making it New Age and politically correct.
You’ll be shocked how “Christians and white people” are now blamed for its horrendous reviews. Oprah Winfrey starring in “A Wrinkle In Time” (left), a stock image of moviegoers (right).
Madeleine L’Engle’s 1962 award-winning book “A Wrinkle In Time” is known for its Christian themes, as well as being a sci-fi fantasy about a young girl named Meg whose scientist father gets trapped in another dimension by his own governmental experiment. Well, Oprah and her new favorite director, Ava DuVernay, took the novel and transformed it into a hot mess of a movie.
The movie is about racial diversity and social justice, and the critics say it “sucks.” The Federalist reports, “Critics are largely panning ‘A Wrinkle In Time,’ and Director Ava DuVernay is not taking it well. According to her Twitter feed, white journalists of either gender simply don’t understand her vision for the movie.”

The trailer betrayed a little too much about what this movie was up to. Made my mind up to pass too.
I wouldn’t say it flopped. $83 million domestic is a nice haul, if the budget is right. Problem is they overspent.
Hope she runs.
She will flop there too.
Oprah is weird.
Way to go Christians and White people.
I'd also like to share some of the credit with my other friends, the Russian Bots.
Where we go one, we go all.
Suck it, Oafrah. :)
They were not going to allow it to fail. It was promoted to the hilt. It would have blown up in their faces if it had failed (because of all the social justice warrior crap they put into it.) and so they pulled out all the stops to create the impression that it was going to be great.
I also had read that people were not allowed to vote it down at Rotten Tomatoes.
I think some of the numbers for it are phoney, and I wonder how big a promotion budget they put out for it?
I call it Dixie Chicking.
Not going to support these a hole libs with my money.
If I had to choose between movie mammies, I'd choose Hattie McDaniel over Oprah Winfrey any day of the week. Hattie McDaniel was actually a good person.I've read, however, that Oprah and Hattie have similar "tastes".
Seeing as how most of the country is white and Christian then making a movie that is targeted to ensure you alienate these groups is probably a bad idea.
Ok. If this director had a “vision” why didn’t she just write her own damb movie? She didn’t stay at all true to the wonderful story to begin with from what I understand- so why not let it inspire her instead?
I hate what this segment of black people is doing to themselves, and our country.
Looking forward to her running for the 2020 dhimmikkkrat presidential nomination...
I work in the biz here in L.A and heard NUMEROUS talk about how it “really” made money. We were at Universal City Walk, Saturday close to 5 PM. I would expect black people to be lined up, en masse but the other movie beside it was more packed (forgot what it was). TWO theaters were showing it and not one homey. How is this possible when it’s 2 weeks in..
A bud of mine who is a TV producer is close with a certain theater chain exec. From what was hinted, there were “entities” who gave the theaters BIG money and the numbers transformed into “sales”, but not actual people who saw the movie.
Isn't her M.O. is to fake a racial incident to get publicity?
The LSM didn't care enough to help her out?
I've come across exactly one print article a month or two ago on it, and one promo for it last week.
It must be really bad for H'wood not to cough up either air time or promo dough to try to salvage it.
No,I didn’t see it——not my type of movie, but the grandkids all did-——late teens,early 20s.
A big hit.
.
Ironic being one of the worst characters ever made.
...but but she’s going to be the next POTUS!!
Haha!
Well played, Reily!
I read the book when I was in 5th grade.
I think I liked it...hard to remember back that far.
“I wouldn’t say it flopped. $83 million domestic is a nice haul, if the budget is right. “
And that’s in just a few days, theaters only.
I don’t understand the perpetuation of the imperative of judging a movie’s success under such tight limitations, when of late increasingly competing against the near-totality of cinema available in glorious big-screen presentation in one’s own home, on demand, for far less than the cost they’re demanding.
Most people nowadays can either: spend $50 traveling to a large decaying building to sit in mostly sub-optimal locations with complete strangers doing annoying things, vs spend $0-5 for the group to watch darn near anything else at their convenience in private (or the same movie a few weeks later).
Couple that with the rising costs of producing blockbusters ... no wonder there are so many “flops”. Get with the audience’s viewing habits, Hollywood!
Orpah pissed as a Wrinkle in Her Strange flops.
Thanks for that bit of info. It confirms what I was suspecting. I am a pretty regular movie goer, and I would have been happy to see "Black Panther", and I have liked most of the other Marvel Comics based movies, but when I heard about all the social justice warrior crap, I told myself I would not reward them with my patronage.
I will eventually see it, but I wasn't going to see it in any theater.
That they played games with the ticket sales does not surprise me at all.
