It starts at about 53 minurtes. Leo was really laid-back and fun. loved it. Lenny Williams and Benny Del were hilarious.

.

I don’t think Warner Brothers had a clue how to market it or who to market it to so its promotion has come across as confused. Also the trailers didn’t hit and put some people off (a lot of people decide what they’re seeing based on a trailer). Finally I think the recent news events in the US have a lot of people feeling overwhelmed/ avoidant of any kind of political narrative (especially those the film appears to be against). I think it will open to 29 million (domestic) 60 million world wide but I’m hoping it has legs (Leo’s movies tend to hold well throughout the month. Hopefully word of mouth can sustain the numbers.

I will say it’s a shame BO has to be such a huge part of the conversation these days. We should be celebrating the fact this got made. I think it will have an interesting film life and do well for years to come.
