But the shocker was Rocky Mountain Pictures political documentary 2016 Obamas America which expanded into theaters across America this weekend after a very limited release and wound up in 4th place. Thats stunning because its playing in 2/3 fewer theaters across North American than the other wide release actioners. (See below for more details). Due to its hot pre-sales, the pic is proving frontloaded, and its ranking will fall steeply by end of Sunday. But the doc made its point: its new cume after this weekend should make it the #1 conservative documentary (besting Expelled: No Intelligence Alloweds $7.7M).
The pic is based on conservative author and commentator Dinesh DSouzas New York Times bestselling 2010 book The Roots Of Obamas Rage and co-directed by DSouza and John Sullivan and produced by Academy Award winner Gerald R. Molen (co-producer of Schindlers List). Its success comes because of savvy marketing on the eve of the Republican National Convention August 27-30. Exhibitors are reporting busloads arriving at theaters around the country in pre-organized trips. It also employed much of the same marketing techniques used to garner attention and support for faith-based films, understandable since the audience is overlapping. Its campaign included advertising nationally over the past two weeks on talk radio and cable news channels including Fox News Channel, A&E, History and MSNBC. Yes, I also didnt believe it when I first saw the film taking off in pre-sales on Tuesday, an exhibition insider tells me. Because theres not a lot of new product thats taking off.

Saw it with a friend last night. There were about 20 empty seats left in the theater. Place was crowded.
I'm taking a subway tomorrow. I hope I don't get sold out of the half-price matinee.
Nanny Bloomberg will be at your door ASAP!
I felt the same way, but there was I would say about a 35 yr. old woman next to me and she pointed out that it is the Seniors who went through the depression and fought for our Freedom and they are the ones who get out and vote.
I felt the same way. I have known about 80% of the stuff that is in the film since about 2008. The hammering on Obama’s influences and matching them with exactly what he has done and intends on doing is the proof. Period. The anti-colonialism and the gutting of our nuclear arsenal and driving up our debt to the point of collapse is all about making us even with the rest of the world.
Obama is NOT a friend of the U.S.A. and neither is anyone who is associated with them.
There was talk of Frank Davis being his father. And that would have given B-HO 2 U.S. citizen parents. And that, in itself, would be a serious consideration.

Dinesh D'Souza: Doing what CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, NYT, LAT, et. al. won't do.
But there was not even a faint resemblence between O and Davis.
Fahrenheit 9/11 was released in 2004. Bush won re-election. I wouldn’t set much store in the electoral impact of this film. It’s preaching to the converted. At best, it will energize the conservative base - which does need energizing, given that Romney is the GOP candidate.
What is the meaning of “2/3 fewer”?
Is that twice as less as “1/3 fewer”?
I went with my husband to the first showing in a town over from my home yesterday. Only about 30 seniors but this is a VERY liberal part of Florida. I put an email out to my address book to see this movie.
Thanks. Its playing at the theatre complex closest to us (we are in the country). Going to see it tomorrow.

You will not D’Souza on any of the state controlled Morning Shows and if he does show up, he will be challenged every time he makes a statement by Charlie Rose, Matt Lauer and George Snafflukus. And a member of the Regime's Campaign will no doubt be allowed unfiltered access to rebuttal too.
I can almost be certain the reception this movie gets along with the earlier Chic-Fil-A uprising has the Left shaking in their loafers (Winne Libs don't wear boots that much). Richard Nixon will be grinning in his grave on election day when the silent majority roars again. A silent majority that has really said much since the 80’s.
Saw it two weeks ago or so. Great movie and it makes sense of it all.
None of the other movies are “front-loaded”.
The media takes any opportunity to belittle and dismiss...
It is an absolute must see. Not an "Anti-Obama" movie, per se, but many liberals will cringe at the information supplied. It is very well done.
These facts can't be spun away. I'd recommend taking along a liberal just for the fun of watching him flounder trying to defuse what he just saw.

I saw a special on TV a while back that said that crows are very smart birds.
This proves it!
