Rough night - 22mm , Girls Trip - 108mm ...did / can Hollywood learn anything from this?

If they did a Pitch Perfect with black people (a la Sister Act 2) that shyt would be a hit. Just look at how popular Empire is. Every black girl in America would show up opening day.

levels the levels the levels

like you said, these white muthafukkas know we be crushin this entertainment shyt
but we all know what time it is.

These racist hollywood fukks will make a sequel to any cac movie thats even close to average. This is why I bootleg and download almost everything. fukk putting money in these peoples pockets when they never gave af about us or what we actually want to watch. Not to mention the terrible casting that is all based on popularity and money and not who can actually play the part best.

First one made $113M domestic, $70M foreign, on a $20M budget. Of course there would be another one

How come we don't say this whenever a black movie does good.

We gotta wait years and years before they make sequels to our shyt. Unless it's starring Kevin Hart.

Is it still popular? No one talks about it anymore

Just using it's breakout success as an example of how much people love black musicals. Imagine Pitch Perfect with black folks? Way better singing, dancing and music guaranteed. Soundtrack would sell a ton. And black people would def support. Its a no brainer, but Hollywood would rather make Pitch Perfect 3 with cacs like they are the only ones that can sing good.

We have to achieve twice as much as a cac to get the same treatment, and when we beat them at their own game they change the rules.

I'm happy Tiffany Haddish might get some more roles and attention off the success of Girls Trip, but overall I don't expect much to change in a big way.

The best hope is we get more people like Jordan Peele, Donald Glover, Ava Duvernay, Ryan Coogler, etc who continue to create content that succeeds.

Unfortunately "black" movies don't get made period.

Don't forget all those Tyler Perry movies

i stopped watching

right in the middle of a season too.

wow, this shyt got a sequel?

i didnt even know there was an original

Hollywood knows this and doesn't give a shyt.

In a different universe this would lead to doors opening for the actresses in GT, but in this one

Agree brotha. They will make a sequel and bring in more diversity = less black people. Write in a white dude or a white girlfriend. Throw in a bunchof dumb shyt to water down the product and watch the next one wi be trash.

They do this all the time with black tv shows and movies. They been this shyt for damn near 45 to 50 years. Basically since black folks started to be on tv and in movies a lot. Also the same exists for black music.

We gonna forget when fox made in living color add more none black cast members and made the show less edgy as a means to cross over? Or how whats happening the TV show added the white father and son? Or when the studio announcing and then adding more non black characters to the ride along sequel.

They about to fukk up this potential franchise.....just watch.

Yeah always happens. Expect more non blacks to be added to a Girls Trip 2 if there ever is one.

Just looked at the cast of Rough Night, Scar Jo fukked up her brand with Ghost in the Shell. She needs to chill for a minute.
Curious do Black folks fukk with Eric Andre or nah?! Only time I heard him talked about in RL was by white people.

Shell could have been something awesome.. but they just had to go with some cliched soulless cash grab.

But yea she needs to fall back.
