Leonardo DiCaprio's Poorly Timed "Pro-Antifa" Movie Flops At The Box Office
The movie is being hailed by the woke media as:
a “celebration of modern day Antifa revolutionaries”
Hollywood In Toto says:
the film “casts an Antifa-style group as its heroes”
while The San Francisco Chronicle described the film, referring to the protagonists as “an allegory that involves antifa-like left wing extremists, a well-funded right wing militia group, and immigrants avoiding ICE.”
The Daily Beast called it:
a “gonzo Antifa rallying cry”
The timing for such a project could not be worse. Woke films with leftist political messaging are already guaranteed to fail in theaters the vast majority of the time. Add to this the fact that the film is being premiered the same month that multiple mass shootings have been committed by leftist activists (including school shootings), Antifa mob attacks on immigration officers, as well as the assassination of conservative speaker Charlie Kirk committed by a gay man with a trans furry boyfriend using Antifa slogans written on his ammo.
There's not a lot of public affinity for radical leftists at this time. No one wants to see a movie glorifying them as protagonists.
This is why "One Battle After Another" is flopping hard at the box office. The flick needs around $300 million to break even after marketing costs are included - It has only made $48.5 million globally. Keep in mind, half of all box office revenues go to theaters, the other half goes to distributors. And, a weak opening weekend usually portends a swift decline in ticket sales for the next few weeks after.
Ultimately, the movie is likely to lose hundreds of millions of dollars and probably end up on streaming services in the very near term with little fanfare. Get woke, go broke.
