'Gosnell' Being Dropped From Movie Theaters Despite Solid Performance
"Gosnell: The Trial of America's Biggest Serial Killer" surpassed box office expectations upon its release last week by entering into the Top 10 grossing films with a revenue of $1,235,000 on just 668 screens.
Despite the solid performance for an independent film of this sort, nearly 200 theaters have inexplicably dropped the film, including those in major cities where it was performing the strongest. Coming into its second week, "Gosnell" has dropped from 668 theaters to 480 theaters — a full 188 theater drop, 15 of which were top-performing multiplexes.
According to John Sullivan, the film's marketing director who also served as a producer, the drop cannot be written off as a mere coincidence or "business as usual."
"I can tell you from my experience in 15 years of releasing movies independently, we’re in uncharted territories," Sullivan told DW. "It is an impacted fall, no doubt about it, but the fact that we’ve been dropped from theaters where the movie is the number 6 or number 9 movie is just something you don’t see."
"It’s hard not to believe it isn’t about the content of the movie," he added. While some of the smaller theaters may have dropped "Gosnell" to make way for "Halloween" this weekend (a major release projected at number 1), the same could not be said for multiplexes housing 20 or more theaters where the film performed in the top 10.
"We have theaters that are dropping that are top theaters, that are performing very well," said Sullivan. "We’ve been the number 6 in a 15-plex and it gets dropped this week. We’ve been number 9 in a 30-plex and we’re getting dropped this week. There are about 15 theaters like that where typically you would not get dropped."
"I do recognize it’s a crowded marketplace — 'Halloween' is going to be a huge opening," he continued. "But it’s very odd to me that you’re within the top 10 and you’re getting dropped out of a movie house."
15 of the theaters that dropped "Gosnell" were high-performing theaters, all of which were major chains. A few examples:
AMC Kips Bay #6 out of 15 screens
AMC Burbank #9 out of 30 screens
Temecula Stadium #9 out of 15 screens
AMC Alderwood #9 out of 16 screens
AMC Methuen 20 #9 out of 20 screens
Conversely, the filmmakers have received varying reports of theaters actively preventing customers from buying a ticket by not advertising the film or declaring it "sold out" before capacity is reached. While some of those situations may be the result of human error, Sullivan says the apparent blackballing is too consistent to go ignored.
"This has come at an unprecedented level for us," Sullivan said. "I’ve released a number of independent films, including the number 2 political documentary of all time. We faced problems there, but I’m getting reports of stuff too consistently for it not to be taken as something more than just a 16 or 17-year-old not doing their job at the local theater level."
He continued: "One report out of Nashville had people being told the movie sold out simply because they didn’t have the staff to cover the theater, and they chose our theater to do that to. Why? Too many things have stacked up and it just doesn’t smell right."
Sullivan directed the top-grossing "2016: Obama's America," and while that film certainly faced some resistance, the box office numbers were too strong for theater chains to simply toss it aside.
In a public statement on Facebook, the film's producer, Phelim McAleer, said he had received "worrying reports from across the country" regarding customers' inability to buy tickets.
"People are saying that they are going to the box office and being told that the film isn't being shown when it is," McAleer said. "We are being told that people are also not able to buy tickets online. Some theaters are trying to cut this down, trying to exclude people from going to see it."
Several Facebook users commented that they have indeed been prevented from seeing the film.
"My wife and I bought tickets online beforehand at an AMC theater, only to have them canceled and refunded," said one user. "My wife called and asked why, but the person she talked [to] only would say that the theater decided not to show it. So, we drove an extra 20 minutes to see it at a Cinemark theater where it was showing."
Another user said, "I bought tickets from the kiosk in the theatre lobby. When the photos were displayed in the kiosk screen, every movie had the photo of the movie except Gosnell."
"My cineplex did not have any movie posters up for it, no signs over the hallway to the correct theater, I had to ask them where to go," said another.
Time will tell if "Gosnell" will hold up in its second week despite the reduction of showings.

CBC Communist Broadcasting Corporation
I don't want to give my future jailers any hints but the worst torture I can imagine
is not waterboarding but being forced to listen to Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
As Mick explains below, every second item caters to minorities, especially indigenous people. The majority -- European origin doesn't count -- they are being dispossessed. Also, almost invariably, these stories are a depressing litany of hard times, sickness or sexual abuse. The focus is on failure; never on effective, happy successful people.
Furthermore, equality means that three out of four announcers/reporters are either women and/or minorities. This government network is run by and for feminists, homosexuals, socialists, and minorities.
Our taxes are paying for our indoctrination and social engineering. Canada needs to get on the Trump train before it is too late.
Disclaimer - I believe in a system that is color and gender blind, where everyone should be treated equally and fairly on the basis of merit. I resent having an alien, globalist political agenda imposed on society without publicity or a debate.
CBC/Canada NWO News Updated from Jan 21, 2017
There are a couple of topics that absolutely dominate the CBC radio program and other Canadian news agencies on a daily basis:
Indians or First Nation - the residential schools, the shame that the White man has to carry for the rest of his life for the colonial past. "High time to recognize" their history and tradition, which is, by the way, usually written by the white Liberals here in Canada. Every day, one is forced to listen to the point of ad nauseam about their proud past and "culture" (like what, tomahawks, buffalos and waging wars against each other?), how they live in shameful conditions on the reserves where Canadian taxpayers have been squandering their money for decades, building them homes and cutting them pay cheques for NO work done.
All in all, blame the white man for their drinking habits, blame the white man for the absolute lack of hygiene and dilapidating infrastructure in their communities, and blame the white man for the fact that the Indian population has the highest crime rate among any other ethnic group in Canada. They already have the Aboriginal Television Network. Now they have two.
And this topic goes on and on forever, every day to the point of ad nauseam. Do they ever discuss some ordinary white Canadian family problems? A family with 3-4 kids whose father lost his job in the oil patch or coal industry due to the new legislation and carbon taxes implemented by the Liberal Ottawa hypocrites and their Alberta Rachel Notley lackeys?
Of course not, who gives a damn about white families in Canada, they are doing all right. Let us instead discuss things in the Somali community somewhere in Canada, how they cope with their new lives. Hey, we know some of them were ex-pirates and criminals in Somalia, and are now drug dealers and many of them condone the female genital mutilation, but who cares? After all, our dear immigration Minister, Ahmed Hussen, came from Somalia... Naturally, you won't hear Jason Kenny or Rob Ford or any other conservative on the CBC radio. Just some fragments and some excerpts taken out of context. And so the CBC propaganda machine marches on and on, mercilessly every day. We'll see for how long.
Our kids have to study their "history" instead of learning about the Renaissance, French, English or Spanish history, the creation of national states in Europe, the WWI and WWII. No, anything that should remind us of our European heritage has to be watered down big time or simply eliminated or reversed.
Homosexuals, Feminism, Transgender & Sex agenda - it is unfathomable to comprehend the amount of sex they shove down our kids' throats. Just a few days ago my son had some degenerate transgender person at school "teaching" him and his classmates how being a boy or a girl is an old and obsolete way of looking at things. IT "explained" to the kids about the "gender flow" phenomenon, i.e. how it's quite normal to feel like a boy one day, and then alternate to a girl the next morning.
My boy had to listen to this crap for about one hour, instead of taking an extra Math or Spanish class during that time. There are also so called "safe" zones at Canadian public schools, where predominantly fat refrigerator-looking lesbians (or some emasculated boys for that matter) can make it out in front of their teachers and peers and no one is allowed to interfere.
(If you are a minority woman, you may go to the front of the line.)
There is also Feminism, of course. The useless and incompetent woman serving as Alberta's Premier (Rachel Notley) & her male NDP lackeys will not miss any opportunity to call one a homophobe or misogynists the moment one dares to criticize her. We have/had other female "heroes" as well - remember Kathleen The Lesbian Wynne, Alison Redford or Danielle Smith? There was a story on the notorious CBC radio that was on a week ago - a transgender hockey player (it was she before, now is he) who described how he/she or IT was always more attracted to females, due to their long hairs and "soft appearance" as opposed to some "stinky" boys (quotes)!
Third World Immigration and Jews - so, the "poor" colored immigration pouring into Canada and all the crying and whining about their problems to adapt to the new life, their special demands and dietary regimes, criminal habits (Somalis, Vietnamese) in terms of drug trafficking, arranged marriages, vaginal circumcisions etc.
NOT A WORD about struggling white families in Canada with 2,3 or 4 kids trying to put some food on the table in these gloomy and uncertain economic times. NOT A WORD about white European (predominantly Eastern European) families who also immigrated to Canada and were/are facing the same problems and being completely ignored, for they are of the white skin?!
Unless, of course, we talk about someone of the Jewish ancestry and another "Holocaust" survivor. This topic was absolutely No. 1 while Stephen Harper was holding the reins of power in Canada. They even named a bird sanctuary in Israel after him - probably for all good "goyim" services of his that he was so diligently providing for the International Jewry.
Well, this would be "in general" the scoop and state of things regarding the CBC and other Canadian "news". All of them have been like a little Hillary Clinton's yappy dog lately, punching and pounding on Trump as zealously as CNN and other MSM's in the USA.
First Comment by Marco
Thanks for posting this article again. The CBC deserves to be exposed as often as possible. They have totally shaped and manipulated public opinion in this country to the point where the average Canadian seems to be a complete lemon - some moral relativist, nanny state socialist effeminate weakling just begging for more government intervention into their lives. The type that says "thank you" to the policeman for laying a heavy fine on them for going 20km/h over the limit or (God forbid) smoking a joint in their parked car.
The type of Canadian that is afraid of their own shadow. The type of Canadian hypocrite that decries the murder of a foreign journalist as barbaric but justifies the murder of hundreds of thousands of babies by similar means in their own country. A cruel unwise people without compassion, totally alienated from God because of their arrogance. The CBC is the beast that is responsible for poisoning Canadians and creating this new creature.
I haven't watched TV in probably ten years but I have listened to CBC radio for years. One thing that the article didn't seem to mention is that all the male anchors on their national radio station sound totally effeminate (think of Gian Ghomeshi's manner of speech), while all the women anchors sound masculine, powerful, intelligent and "in charge". I challenge your readers to prove me wrong on this point. It's done on purpose and it's another facet in the war on males to which you have dedicated so many years.

I enjoyed Mick's article, which hit the mark for me completely. Why? Because Canada seems like a mirror image of Australia, where I live. We have Safe Schools, which is the same ordeal with education. We have ABC and SBS, which really do exactly what CBC does. We have endless propaganda about how bad white Aussies are, and how great our aborigines are, or the refugees, or queers, or whoever. It is definitely torture for those in the know and brainwashing and disempowering for those who aren't.
It is great to learn about how the NWO is rolled out - that it is a global phenomenon, and we can recognize its tricks. We look for where it originates, eg, Jewry, banks, Freemasonry, big money, the political/Satanic elite class; and then see who it is aimed against - whites, nationalists, Christians; then the end result - a NWO, enslavement, dispossession; and lastly, how to resist it - be aware, educate, stand strong, boycott, toss away the tv, stay as independent as possible, support what's good, reject/fight against what's not.
