$12.6 M domestic gross so far, with only a $17.0M budget and ZERO movie stars besides Janelle Monae (who?).

So it'll probably make back its budget within next weekend. What's up with that?

are you seriously accusing critics for not liking it because they're racist? or something along this lines

Mediocre biopics about important people are made all the fucking time

maybe read the fucking reviews

Or perhaps film critics aren't liberal-biased and automatically love a movie about a liberal hero.

She's NOT universally beloved. Just look at the fucking backlash from right-wingers when we tried to put her on our currency.

Pretty much anyone who supports Confederate iconography and legacy hates her. Including Donald Trump -- who admires slavery lover Andrew Jackson so much that he stopped Tubman from replacing him on the $20 bill.

That's... Not very good you know.

Assuming it drops 40-50% next weekend as most movies do it's barely breaking even, probably losing money when you factor in marketing costs.

As I understand things, they added in a scene where a white slaveowner rescues her from a black bounty hunter. This apparently never actually happened to her.

I can't confirm this personally, though, and I'd be interested to get confirmation from someone who has seen the film.

Why are you laughing? It's a fact that Donald Trump prefers Confederate masters like Andrew Jackson over Harriet Tubman.

Sounds like every critic agrees that it treats itself as decent albeit generic, by the numbers biopic.

Same shit happened with Venom last year

Then you look at this "amazing" user reviews with brilliant insights like

"This movie wasn't terrible. Fuck the critics! 9/10"

Or

"The first hour sucked but after that it gets much better. 10/10"

Also, that guy's name is very unfortunately when you consider that B is right next to N on the keyboard. >_>
