The Trump movie everyone feared has turned out to be…nothing.
“The Apprentice” made $585,000 on its opening including $150,000 in previews.
The movie starring Sebastian Stan and Jeremy Strong is a total write off, a non starter, after so much publicity.
What happened?
It may be that no one on either side of politics has any interest in seeing a young Donald Trump being groomed as a monster by Roy Cohn, after all.
Republicans weren’t going to go anyway. And Democrats know the story already including the accusation from Ivana Trump that her husband raped her.
“The Apprentice” has top actors and writing. But you can’t make people pay money to see this story.
It’s a shock because “The Apprentice” was meant to be incendiary, and cause trouble in the election.
Briarcliff Entertainment has to now put it on streaming immediately, they have no choice. “The Apprentice” is a box office catastrophe.
