2016 Obama's America: Organized misinformation campaign against 2016 movie as box-office grosses plummet? Dinesh D'Souza and John Sullivan's 2016 movie was down 53% at the North American box office this past weekend after losing 660 venues. In other words, the anti-Obama documentary lost about one third of its theaters; as a result, its box-office take dropped a little above the 50% mark on weekend no. 11. There's absolutely nothing unusual about that. D'Souza and the film's distributor, however, think otherwise. (Photo: Obama movie trailer image; please scroll down for more information about the 2016 movie's box-office performance this past weekend.) According to The Hollywood Reporter, Rocky Mountain Pictures president Randy Slaughter has said that a pirated copy of 2016 surfaced on YouTube over the weekend. Both FBI and YouTube were reportedly contacted, and the uploaded video was taken down. Could that have noticeably affected the 2016 movie's box-office take this past weekend? Hardly. The 2016 movie reached its current total after adding $2.03 million this weekend (Sept. 14-16), according to studio estimates found at the web site Box Office Mojo. Behind: Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 (approx. $154m), Luc Jacquet's March of the Penguins ($97m), Jon Chu's Justin Bieber: Never Say Never ($74.5m), and Alastair Fothergill and Mark Linfield's Earth ($35.8m). The Avengers' Scarlett Johansson, Black Swan's Natalie Portman or Eva Longoria, but the current U.S. president Barack Obama, who also happens to be the subject of D'Souza and Sullivan's doc.

Directed by Paul Johansson, Atlas Shrugged, from Ayn Rand's book, with Taylor Schilling (Zac Efron's romantic interest in The Lucky One), Grant Bowler, and Michael O'Keefe (The Great Santini). Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 caused a rift between Walt Disney's Michael Eisner and Miramax's Harvey Weinstein. The Sylvester Stallone / Jason Statham / Liam Hemsworth actioner The Expendables 2 should remain on top of the dead-on-arrival domestic box-office, grossing around $12m, followed by Tony Gilroy / Jeremy Renner's The Bourne Legacy with approximately $8-9m, and Chris Butler / Sam Fell's ParaNorman with $8.5m. Things get iffier after that: aside from the expansion of 2016 Obama's America, there are new entries Premium Rush, starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and The Apparition, with Twilight's Ashley Greene. Both movies are expected to be modest performers, but how modest is unclear. Premium Rush projections range from $5-8m; The Apparition from $2-5m. 2016 to perform like Kirk Cameron's Fireproof: frontloaded.
