Nah dude. You know it was written by a bunch of college "educated", fat, pink haired potbelly troll cat ladies. Probably the writers room for She Hulk.
Honestly, I think this movie would have been pretty funny in the 90's. Especially when all of Steven King's magical negros from his made for TV movies and Michael Clarke Duncan were still alive and could have all made appearances in it. But it's not funny anymore in 2023.
No thanks, Hollywood. Imma stay at home that night and watch Black Knight for the 5th time instead.

So. Who else is pumped about the Magical Society of Negro Crybabies coming out this weekend!
Not BoxOfficePro. They can't even be bothered to give any predictions for this flop and don't even mention it.

And they even have the racist race swapped Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead on their long range predictions.

Bruce says they didn't even have preview night.
His model gives it just under $2 Million for the weekend. He says anything over $3 Million would be a surprise. The model also gives it $4.1 Million in total before it's out of theaters.
Good luck ever finding a production budget number for this.
Focus Features doesn't like putting that out unless they're making money...
2023's My Big Fat Greek Wedding grossed $39.1 Million and cost $18 Million to make.
2023's Asteroid City grossed $54 Million and cost $25 Million to make.
2023's Book Club: Part 2 grossed $29 Million and cost $20 Million to make.
2023's Champions grossed $18.8 Million and we never got a production budget number.
Long story short? Of the 4 movies Focus Features put out last year, we know the budgets of 3 of them. The cheapest one was $18 Million and the average production budget was $21 Million.
Good on Focus Features for keeping the budgets down on their flicks, but there's zero chance it doesn't lose millions here if they only gross $2 or $3 Million this weekend.

No previews on Thursday for Amazing & Magical Lodge for the League of Extraordinary Black Folk, and a projected gross of only $520,000 on Friday in 1,l47 theaters that appeared to have about 25 people each in attendance.
Ouch...
Very doubtful that it even reaches $2 Million with that opening, so I think Bruce's "hunch" was wrong here. I doubt that it even hits the $1.97 Million his computer model came up with.
29% All Critics; 19% Top Critics / 55% Verified Audience; 35% All Audience

Almost no one reviewed it. 48 total reviews, only 16 of which are "Top Critics". The Verified Audience giving ratings with or without reviews might even be smaller than the All Critics pool with "Fewer than 50 Verified Ratings".
Even for Focus Features, this is bad. Most of their movies fly under the radar, with Asteroid City probably being the only one from 2023 approaching what could be considered a household name at the time.
This will probably be their "biggest" movie of 2024, at least in terms of exposure. But the funny thing is I don't see anybody talking about it now, or even in the few weeks leading up to it. Everybody laughed at it and got their licks in back in December of last year and now that it's finally come out nobody appeared to remember it was even a thing that was made.

This is a funny review...
The American Society of Magical Negroes Review: Racist Boring Trash With A Soulless Lead
We live in a world where Hollywood can’t seem to figure out why people aren’t going to the movie theaters anymore. Maybe the problem lies in the fact that Hollywood is continuously pumping out nauseating left-wing Progressive lectures being thinly disguised as entertainment.

Quote:
Just like every other Daily Show clone that uses white guilt to continue to get work and Progressive Hollywood, Kobe’s film continues the racist narrative that the most dangerous animals in the world are white people. The message of this film is clear: whenever white people are not comfortable black people are the ones who die. a message that is so divorced from reality, that it would be considered nonsensical even if this was a fantasy movie.
Magical Negroes is a film that takes poorly disguised hatred and racism of another race in the realm of Comedy thinking that they can fall back on calling this movie a satire whenever they are called out for spreading racial division. However, without racial division between blacks and whites, this story has absolutely nothing to offer. There’s no Chemistry Between the two leads in this film as no one Believes Justice Smith is heterosexual let alone can play one on screen.
But seriously guys... Get a real editor. Don't just take the first suggestion that your browser's spellchecker gives you or even worse let AI "fix" your typos.
"The film has no story to dig into because the forced love triangle in the movie is nothing more than a placeholder for our biracial filmmaker’s views on race. As Justice Smith cinematically waterboards the audience with his complete and other lack of a screen presence, the only time that his character comes alive is to lecture the audience about the fact that black people in the United States of America Live every day under the guys that white people want them dead."
Complete and Utter, not "Other".
No reason to capitalize "Live". You probably capitalized 2 dozen words in this article that did not benefit at all from capitalization, and you started several sentences off without capitalizing words that should, obviously, be capitalized.
And seriously.... "under the Guys"? What a potentially confusing phrasing of words when you're writing about Justice Smith, who would probably be thrilled to be under the guys.
C'mon Guise! Get your Guys right!
