Search function pulled up nothing.

The Nicole Kidman movie about sexual harassment at Fox News has tanked.

It cost estimated $32 million to make, pulled in $317,000 its opening weekend, and has grossed just under $6.5 million after one week in general distribution.

Rotten Tom gives it a 68.  The reviews are generally "Fox is bad to women" but movie "didn't go deep enough,"  whatever that means.

IMDB gives it 6.4.  Reviewers there openly hate Fox News.

But the important number is tickets sold.  And that ain't really happening.

I do not advocate sexual harassment.  In an industry in which women compete with their bust size and legs, for better or worse, it isn't a secret that sex sells news as much as it does automobiles.

Men are generally sexually aggressive.

None of that makes for good entertainment in and of itself.

So did they use the proceeds from a profitable movie to film a politically motivated hit piece they are passionate about?

1. A fool and their money will soon be parted.
2. This is why giving money to Hollywood is bad for America.

I want to see this movie but it hasn't come to our local theater and I don't know why. Maybe if it were playing in more theaters people would be watching it.

Not to mention that the main audience has all sorts of ‘triggers’ that movie is sure to trip, which means they’ll not go see it.

Bless ‘em, they’re trying to keep it relevant. They just don’t realize how over it people are.

Funny, NPR has been pumping this movie the past couple of weeks. They've interviewed actors, had a talk show discussing it, etc.  One interviewer breathlessly asked Charlize Theron how she dealt with playing someone (Megan Kelly) whose politics she found so reprehensible......

Those guys come from hedge fund world so they’re always looking to make money by mitigating risk by buying in batch.  Eastwood’s The Mule, Rebel Wilson’s Isn’t It Romantic, Ivan Reitman’s Ghostbusters, this movie.  Looks like a diverse batch to me.

Jordan Peterson likes to ask women why they wear makeup and high heels to work......:it’s not to be better at their jobs.

That doesn’t make workplace harassment and work predators acceptable, not at all.  To say that dressing sexy at work isn’t a factor is just as ignorant.

Certainly physically attractive people are presenting the news in TV.  That’s very obvious.

I’m glad the movie failed. It was a political hit piece going into election season.  Where’s the movie about all the “reporters” at other networks harassing women, and peddling falsehoods that eventually lead to the end of their careers.  There are al lot more of them NOT on Fox News.

Just go watch Tik Tok videos.  The young seem to be pretty onboard with Trump.

You gotta remember.  This generation has been through so much PC and SJW bullshit through their education.  Kids tend to rebel against the "norms" they are taught, making conservative views rebellious for this generation.

We might just survive as a country.

Attractive as that may be... it still wasn't enough to sell more than half a million tickets after being out 10 days.

Another wahmen film.  Virtually every wahmen film has bombed at the box office except for Captain Marvel, which got through based purely on the trust Marvel had built with its fans on every other film before Captain Marvel.  She was still disliked enough that she barely made an appearance in End Game, and everyone's favorite scene was when Thanos falcon punched her clear out of the movie.

Came to post this. With all of the sexual harassment coming from the left, this is the one they made a movie about? Nothing more than a hit piece against Fox.

It isn't that they dress 'well' and saying 'sexy' isn't descriptive enough.  Most well-dressed women could be described as 'sexy'.

What puts most of these women into the sights of predators is that they dress as provocatively as possible, as well as when they are starting out they will do things that would make a prostitute blush to get a 'break', yet they then expect since they 'paid their dues' they no longer have to put up with the predators and general bad behavior (I classify the comedian who beat it in front of women as bad behavior rather than being a predator as I don't believe he was picky about which women he did this to).  Ignoring the fact that they chose to get where they are by playing bait for those predators, do they think the wolves will go away because the sheep don't want to play anymore?

Thats exactly what I thought when I saw that Bombshell movie listed at theaters the other day. Even though I dont like him much, I have to admit Ronan Farrow was actually tenacious in going after the Winestien story, and what he went through might actually make a pretty good movie, but I dont see that happening.

Maybe the holidays are a bad time to be releasing movies-based-on-real-events. As another example, look at the box office for that Richard Jewell movie.
