Hollywood Exec: Bu-bu-bu-but we can't make movies with black leads because they won't sell!

 

[Tasha And]

Guess this shows why I'm a nobody posting on a forum and not a hollywood exec

This was a crazy good opening. Congrats to them sisters, and my man Malcolm Lee.

The black golden age of cinema continues .

I'm surprised at the reviews. I don't watch many comedies but I thought from the trailer this had a chance at being decent.

Now I just gotta find a female to go see it with me

 

[Big Boss]

This movie made money

 

[qnsfinest]

I didn't watch this but I'm glad it blew that scar jo movie out the box office. I keep telling people that their are atleast 5 cac actors and actresses that are shoved down our throats and they honestly suck at acting and if they not putting on a superhero outfit they suck at the box office.

Doubt it

Doubt it

Cause these studios can only take on so many hits financially with white-washed flops before they fold. Something gotta give.

My lady and I saw that this morning and it was live. Shout out to FAMU being their alma mater.

This isn't the first time Hollywood has banked on black films. The blaxpoitation era is what saved Hollywood studios from financial ruin in the late 60s and thru the 70s. Then in the late 80s and early 90s u had black films coming out again.

The only difference is now they have a little more pressure on them to put out films with diversity.

 

[re'up]

The preview looked horrific and demeaning, but the reviews have been positive, may have to see it.

 

[NobodyReally]

This was so much fun! An instant classic in my book. People were laughing so hard, we missed jokes. So I'm definitely gonna have to see it again. I think the industry has been hurting for a comedy like this in the last few years. Everyone was so good in their roles, and while there were some predictable moments, they were executed very well. Just a really good time, highly recommend.

9/10 for the genre.
