In 2004, the Michael Moore film FAHRENHEIT 911 was a summer hit .. it bashed George Bush at just the right time--though Bush ended up winning the 2004 election, the film continued to sell well on DVD after its release..
This year, another political season, the movie OBAMA'S AMERICA 2016 is being released widely into the box office this weekend. I will be very interesting to see how it will fare in the 1,000 + theaters showing it..
The movie is already accounting for 35% of pre-sale tickets on Fandango, according to Forbes. It's facing horror film THE APPARITION and PREMIUM RUSH.. but chances are being, again, the right time for a political documentary to be released, it may do very well..
The movie has been heralded by Rush Limbaugh, the NATIONAL REVIEW, and other conservative media outlets. It's based on a book by Dinesh D'Souza--not an Obama defender.
If the reviews on the movie website ROTTEN TOMATOES is any indication, the result of the movie may only cause more anger and bickering between two sides in a very politically charged season..
