A new movie called '2016' will hit theaters this coming month.... So far from the trailer and description this sounds like our kind of movie.
LOS ANGELES – Produced by Oscar-winning producer Gerald Molen and directed by conservative journalist Dinesh D’Souza, the controversial documentary “2016: Obama’s America” takes audiences on a journey into President Obama’s roots, painting a disturbing portrait of what it says are his plans for America if elected for a second term.
The film has yet to open wide in the U.S., but it has already caused a box office splash in Texas. The documentary opened in a single theater in July in the Lone Star State, grossing almost $32,000 in its opening weekend, with moviegoers waiting as much as 90 minutes to meet the filmmakers.
In early August, “2016” will open in over 400 screens across the country, so while it has already gotten a lot of pushback, it can expect a lot more.
The Texas theater’s manager told The Hollywood Reporter that he received complaints over the decision to show the film, and other news outlets have accused D’Souza of basing his documentary on lies. The moviemaker says he welcomes the controversy, and, ironically, says he got the idea on how to frame his documentary from another filmmaker with very different political leanings, the liberal director Michael Moore.
