JOHN NOLTE: Tom Cruise’s Global Warming Propaganda Digger About to Lose $100+ Million.

Here’s a movie designed in a Woke Lab to hit the sweet spot of critics…

• Evil white men.
• Evil businessmen.
• Oil bad.
• Global Warming/Climate Change is real (it’s not).
• All of this delivered by Hollywood’s biggest movie star.

…and what’s the result? A rotten 52 percent rating at Rotten Tomatoes. And as I have said a thousand times, if left-wing critics pan a left-wing movie, that movie must suck like nothing has ever sucked in the kingdom of Suckdom, because these critics always-always-always grade on a curve for leftist propaganda.

Hilariously, as if to say Please-please-please David Ellison, buy us out before we destroy ourselves, Warner Bros. dropped $160 to $180 million into this bloated, anti-science lecture, and that does not include promotion costs, which probably lift it into the $250 million range. That puts break-even at right about $500 million worldwide.

And now it’s about to open wide all across America and, per the professional estimates, humiliate itself and its star with an $8 million to $12 million opening. If these projections hold, a movie made for no Normal Person could lose more than $100 million.

Meanwhile, Christian Toto spots more leftist propaganda that’s likely to flop: Jan. 6 Themed Social Reckoning Expected to Bomb at Box Office.

World of Reel shares a pointed reaction to the film and its subject matter:

January 6th eventually comes up, the entire film builds toward it. The film’s arc leads naturally to the suggestion that January 6th was, in part, a product of Facebook itself.

Sorkin has literally said the same thing on the record regarding Facebook and Jan. 6.

The problem?

Who will actually see the movie? Box office projections have “The Social Reckoning” opening to a very soft $6-$10 million on its opening weekend. The competition won’t be stiff.

The only other major new release is “Other Mommy,” a horror film starring Jessica Chastain.

Audiences may not want a lecture on Facebook’s alleged ills. They also won’t rally around a Jan. 6 movie, an issue that likely has exhausted Americans at this point in the culture.

That may explain why “The Social Reckoning” trailers leave out that fateful day.

Nolte used to call this Hollywood’s “liberal sucker punch.” They’re much harder for the industry to successfully pull off in the era of social media.
