Not accusations
Multiple 1st hand reports
Narrative is what this urinalist is pushing.
So much projection (forgive the pun) in this urinalist narrative.
It made a $100 million because the people who gave up on going to the movies - went to see a movie.
Some people are reporting that when they go to purchase seats not many are left to choose from but when they get to the theatre a lot of these seats never do end up with bodies in them.
So, are supporters who already saw the movie just buying seats to help the film make more money?
Is the Left buying seats to keep people from seeing the movie?
Is this paying it forward thing whereby people are buying seats for strangers not working fully in that these bought seats are effectively linked up to people to donate them to?
Because leftists are ttally clueless about mainstream America.
THAT’S why they are surprised.
It made a $100 million because the people who gave up on going to the movies - went to see a movie.
The heroes in the movie were our heroes and the villains were our villains.
The upshot of all this, though, is that $100 million is a reality-deforming amount of money, especially for a movie running on a $15 million budget. It’s the kind of number that demands a response, if not outright imitation; it remains to be seen how Hollywood will respond to this new competitor in its midst.
Not a complicated questionl. It’s a simple question that has a simple answer. While the left is obsessing about how to destroy this great and wonderful country, the folks don’t accept all the left is trying to do, and as the left increases the intensity of the attack, the folks realize what’s going on and push back.
I totally enjoy seeing liberals experience major stress over this movie, over bud light and over Jason Aldean.
I with the left nothing but a major intensification of their anguish and wish for the pushback to quadruple in strength.
tells its fans that the mere act of paying to see it is a virtuous and valorous act..

We don’t have to be told that
We knew by seeing it we would help get the word out about the current slave trade of the left
and finance getting the word spread further, hopefully globally.
( they like global right ? /-)
Illuminating that the urinalists would consider virtue and valor a bad distasteful thing.
Reminds me of hiding conservative bestsellers in bookstores. Putting them behind other books, hiding the covers. And then they have Michelle Obama books stacked to the ceiling up front. All the garbage they push at the movies and then when a Sound Of Freedom or Passion Of The Christ slips through they go nuts.
The only attached baggage has been by the left in their attempt to kill the movie after Disney tried to bury it in their for years underneath the Song of the South and the Star Wars Holiday Special.
Does the donor buy tickets for a particular theatre and time, and then the beneficiary claims those tickets (online or at the door)? What if those tickets remain unclaimed?
Or does the donor buy "open" tickets that can be used anytime and any place? How does that work out logistically with so many theatres and times involved?
Except even the CEO of Angel says no those things aren’t happening. And would really like people to stop spreading silly conspiracies.

It’s a complicated question …No it isn’t, William Hughes.
The one accusation against AMC I have a problem with is the Air Conditioning being shut off.
It would be hard to shutdown the AC in just one theater in today’s modern theater megaplexs.
Each theater does not have independent AC units.
Roof top units supply multiple theaters.
My family has gone to two movies in the last decade: The Jesus Revolution and The Sound of Freedom.
Not so much as a single reference to Operation Underground Railroad (the anti-trafficking organization Ballard founded) or any other way for people to take meaningful action. So that was a huge disappointment for my wife and I.
For those interested, here are some other groups you can check out to support or get involved with:
Rescue America (Specializes in low-risk "Exits" - picking up trafficked victims who have enough freedom of movement to walk out a door, and gets them to safe houses for rehabilitation.)
Saved in America (Vets/special ops types who are spending their retirement hunting down and rescuing children)
HER Campaign (specializing in safe houses/rehab)
A21 (secular group focusing more on preventation and education.)
I also know of some foreign groups doing good work providing care and rescuing victims, if anyone is interested reply or message me.
The AV Club missed the really interesting question: how would the film have done had Disney released it?
The Mouse didn’t produce the movie. It’s safe to say that Disney wouldn’t have gone near this project. But Disney ended up with it after buying the the distributor that had purchased the rights. This was just the Borg swallowing another competitor. But Disney now owned it.
Disney shelved it. I suppose the mentally ill, woke block of Disney’s employees would have rooted had The Mouse come out against child sex trafficking, especially when known Chistians were involved.
Disney at least sold the rights back to the originators. But Disney is hemorrhaging money. And it walked away from the biggest sleeper hit of the year. Bob Iger should be asked about this in every interview.
The fact that Disney shelved it opened the door for a brilliant counterculture marketing strategy. The people behind this film have played their cards perfectly. The left is totally off balance and flailing.
Considering how much a movie theater has to pay for the films they show, there is no way in hell they are going to deliberately create an uncomfortable environment in order to keep people from coming to view the movie.
We went to SOF last week. During the movie, the sound became scrambled and then the image froze. The theater said it had to be re-booted. It restarted after about 10 minutes near the spot it froze.
