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.
There are way too many Americans that will not adapt to Canadian culture. Even on the left there is heavy "American exceptionalism" brainwashing and they love guns and Jesus way too much.
Remember that 1/3 of Americans wanted to do something other than Trump. 2/3rd wanted him or didn't give a shit enough to vote.
If Americans want a better life, they can move to Canada.
Have you ever been in Rural Washington or Oregon? How about Orange County California? There are some really fucked up MAGA Nazi fucks in those areas. Just because the cities are blue doesn't mean the rural parts aren't filled with dumbass, sister fucking, redneck cunts.
The van arrives outside the premiere of Melania the Movie. Velma pushes away the velvet rope and the kids push their way through the crowd of 3 people reaching Melania Trump. She's seated at an empty autograph booth.
"Rare she is. RAB ER." Shouts Scooby.
The gang piles on Melania as she tries to escape. The scene explodes into a dust cloud with arms and legs poking out.
The commotion stops and Fred is holding Melania while she struggles weakly.
Shaggy pulls on the top of Melania's head revealing she's wearing a mask
"Jankies, it's old man Carney."

I would not pick a fight going into USMCA to score some cheap political points
Yeah,. And the USA should also remember how well their country will do without our oil and postash.
If the US wants to kill NAFTA v2, they do at their own peril. The two countries have worked side by side for many years and rely on each other. The only difference with Canada is we now realize the USA isn't our friend.
Canada is now sitting at the cool table at lunch while the US is eating their boogers and picking on the tiny kids on the playground.
I know many left wingers who are getting their firearms licences.
I'm getting my PAL in the next month or so. Then I'm buying a gun that shoots long range, a good scope, and a bunch of ammo. The only thing I need to find is a place to practice.
The protest was already feral. Pots clanged like industrial thunder. Whistles screamed like caffeinated banshees. Smoke detectors shrieked like dying cybernetic birds. Guitars wailed in the key of We Are Not Taking This Anymore. Protesters chanted. People laughed. The air vibrated with that very specific end-of-empire energy ...
I recognize they are doing peaceful protests, and getting scattered by ICE with some tear gas, but I don't see many willing to actually fight.
Maybe it isn't a lack of empathy but watching their actions?
My claim that Americans desire a fascist state are somewhat justified. Watch any random video of 1st amendment auditors in the US. The common theme regardless of political leaning is the desire to punish the other. US citizens will call men with guns to deal with a guy just standing on the sidewalk with a phone camera. The US citizen has the desire to have the camera person punished for their perfectly legal, yet disliked, actions.
Lawsuits in the US also demonstrate the results of years of brainwashing the American public with "American exceptionalism" rhetoric. Someone slips on the sidewalk due to no negligence of another, but someone must be punished.
The police in the US as generally pretty terrible. They have a long history of planting evidence, harassing innocents, fishing for crimes for no reason, harming and killing innocent Americans. The cops are protected by the government with qualified immunity. If a cop happens to get punished and fired in one district, it's been shown time and time again they can move to the town next door and continue being a cop. If Americans cared, this action would stop. But a large number of them don't care because it doesn't happen to them OR they approve of the killing and beatings because that person was "the other".
This has been going on for decades and decades. All it takes is the majority of Americans to desire it to stop - yet it hasn't.
1/3 of the country voted for Trump because they knew who he was. 1/3 of the country couldn't give a shit to vote.
American exceptionalism and apathy are killing Americans and 2/3 of them either are for it or don't give a shit.
