How many black people were in your theater?
I went to the Friday 12:30 noon showing. The theater was 90% full but there were only about 3 or 4 black people present.
I noticed a similar trend when I saw Creed in theaters twice.
Everyone says that Race is supposed to be marketed to the black community, but I just did not see that reflected in the audience. It was mostly a white audience. There was a girls basketball team there, but only 2 of their players were black. Even their coach was a white man.
Now, I certainly enjoyed this movie, and found it entertaining and informative, but why is the targeted demographic choosing not to go see it? Am I missing something?
This is an honest question, not trolling or trying to start a race war, I am just genuinely curious as to how many black people came out in other theaters, and if they didn't, how come?
