BREAKING NEWS – Hollywood, California – A satire film intended to send a provocative message about race relations bombed at the box office on its opening weekend.
Focus Features’ “The American Society of Magical Negroes” took the 9th spot at the box office last weekend, grossing $1,304,270 while playing in 1,147 locations around the U.S.
The film centers around a young man who is recruited to be part of a “society” where Black people use their magical powers to make White people comfortable, so that they don’t hurt Black people.
Netflix stated that when they were sent a copy of the film, after it was viewed, they determined it was so bad, that it was given to a janitor to be stored in a supplies closet with the other toiletries. However, there was a silver lining to American Society of Magical Negroes. Liberals, conservatives, democrats, republicans, independents, and people of every ethnicity were united, in saying that the movie totally sucked.
