Baumer, the problem with Selma under performing is not that there are a bunch of names in the cast or that Tom Wilkinson is not on the poster. Unbroken has no names in the cast.  Jolie is not known as a skilled director.  The last historical drama she was a part of, Changeling, did not do well at the box office.  Yet White audiences are showing up in large numbers to see Unbroken.  The Louis Zamperini guy is nowhere near as historic or important a figure as Martin Luther King, Jr.  But White audiences show up in large numbers for that.  A lot of White people in America are uncomfortable buying a ticket to see movies with 90% Black casts - just like how many dudes are uncomfortable buying a ticket to see Wild (even if it gets a 90% approval from critics).

I think that the GA is not interested in the subject matter. It comes off as a lecture, and a somewhat repetitive one. And Selma is not a biography about MLK but about a single event. A sweeping biographical film about MLK would have been interesting. The Butler did well. 12YAS did as well as expected. 

 

Unbroken is based on a very popular book and the story has a universal appeal.
