There is just no market for a film like this

I dont know what the studio was thinking when they made this. This doesn't appeal to anyone. Nobody is going to see it.

This was not greenlit by any studio. This is an independent production and was acquired by Freestyle Releasing.
I couldn't tell you who the market is for this but it obvious that they're going for the "urban" market and sadly there's a number in that market that will eat this up.
Hopefully, it'll bring in even less money than Fifty Shades of Black and be quickly forgotten after opening day.

Not a studio film, it's an independent film financed by private investors, not one of the studios.

African Americans and white liberals who NEVER interact with black people will love this movie.

You haven't seen it so your opinion is uneducated on this topic.

How is one an African-American and not associate with black people?

[–] drtturner 8 years ago

I think that was 2 seperate ideas in a compound sentence. In other words Black people who by proxy deal with black people will like it and White librrals who do not, also will like it. I saw it and it was mildly entertaining. I like that it had some real jump scares and believable conflict as opposed to being total screw ball, goof ball, farce like The Shades spoof.

Well one way would be living in a blue state. If you seriously didn't understand the white people were the group that NEVER interacted with black people then you probably have seen Meet the Blacks several times and loved it.

You say NEVER and to prove you wrong it only takes 1 white liberal interacting with Black Americans and I know at least 20 personally and Bill DeBlasio is married to a Black woman.

Just stop pushing your wrong answer already...

Wow you seriously are that stupid, huh? You weren't trolling. You actually don't understand what should be obvious to even a mentally challenged child.

Let me try and simplify even further. DeBlasio and your 20 alleged white liberals would NOT be in the group but that in no way means the group doesn't exist. You do realize that there are many people that you don't know or even know of, right? Did that help you any? When you were watching the movie everyone looked similar to you didn't they? Depending on your answer I'll know which group you are a member of.

Venn diagrams are no stranger to me and so you are pushing some hypothetical group that you'll never be able to provide evidence for and thus this debate is useless.
Sorry I stepped into your fantasy world.
