    Clearly some fuckery is going on with ticket sales. For the last few days you could look up any theatre showing the film and very few tickets were sold. I did this myself and chuckled how in very red cities, the 9pm show maybe had 10 tickets sold last night. The afternoon shows were a ghost town.

    But here it is being listed as doing 7 million so far.

    I assume they’re doing the same thing they do to books. Buy up a shit ton of books and give them out for free.

    The truth will be known over the next few weeks because they won’t keep buying tickets after this weekend.

    If sales are flat after tonight, it’s all bullshit.

      It isn’t that complicated.

      The people this is meant for will never double check, it will be sent to their feeds and they will see it and keep scrolling.

      It turns out you can just lie on the Internet. No one this is meant for will see the corrections in the siloed social Media landscape.

      It’s working as intended

    I can’t even stand to look at her. Trump either. Just seeing their images reminds me of everything that is evil in humankind.

    Was it just the only “Doc” released in the last 10 years?
