“The Apprentice,” a controversial biopic that portrays a young Donald Trump as a rapist, is an absolute box office bomb despite fawning media coverage.

According to a report from Breitbart News, the film is set to gross just $1.5 million in its opening weekend. “That’s an embarrassingly low figure given the movie received a wide release on 1,740 screens, for a per-screen average of about $862,” Breitbart News reported.

“Since most screens feature multiple showings a day, that means from late Thursday to Sunday, there was an average of around five people per showing — in other words, mostly empty theaters.”

Glowing coverage and spotlights from several prominent media outlets have been unable to save the film, which is coming in well below its opening weekend expected gross of $3.5 million. The movie received puff pieces from the New York Times, CNN, CBS News, MSNBC, and several entertainment magazines, such as Variety.

How surprising is this!

Maybe with AI writing more scripts and production moving out of Hollywood we will see films made that people actually want to see, but I'm not betting on it. Disney is a great example of how leftists never learn. Now they are going to have a trans storm trooper in one of their Star wars spin offs.
