Fox trying to get shape the narrative before the release and awards push and a release on a Friday afternoon hoping it gets buried over the w/e.  Fox better pray she doesn't come forward and start talking to the press though the trial reports and court transcripts of the summations are damning enough to Parker and Celestin.

Then again he says everything in his statement except he's innocent.

Sad to say this, but digging up horrible shit he did in the past can't derail this movie's chances.


Now if he faced a new rape charge, that could change things.

I read about the rape charges a while back. I could see it hurting the film if it gets a lot of press. It's a pretty disgusting story. 

 

Also they picked a bad release date. 

 

*edit* The article is getting a lot of negative reaction online. Probably was not a good idea.

pro.boxoffice.com says this'll make $90 million DOM. IMO that sounds pretty high

 

 I guess it depends on reviews. But they better stop Nate from doing anymore interviews.

He does sound like an awful person. Bringing his daughter to that interview? I'm not one who skips movies based on offscreen antics (I'll still definitely see Sully even though I'm not a fan of Clint the person) but this project is ALL Nate Parker. Sorry Armie, it was nice fantasizing about your nomination.

Fox is gonna lose money on this if it isn't nominated for BP. The last trailer had an insanely low number of views; it was at 320k views on the main channel about 2-3 weeks ago. It isn't getting a big OS release either.

They're probably regretting shelling out so much money for what looks to end up being a PR nightmare right now.

Not ALL Parker.  Celestin is his co-writer...
