Fans fail to show up for Spike Lee's new movie, "Highest 2 Lowest," starring Denzel Washington and A$AP Rocky...
From Variety
At the Cannes Film Festival premiere of “Highest 2 Lowest” in May, all eyes were on the crime drama’s fourth lead: A$AP Rocky. The “Everyday” rapper’s very presence at the Palais sent photographers into a frenzy before he and partner Rihanna were whisked away to the film’s exclusive beach party, followed by an early-morning yacht bash sponsored by Ray-Ban. Despite all the fanfare and a riveting performance in which Rocky held his own opposite two-time Oscar winner Denzel Washington, “Highest 2 Lowest” barely made a whimper at the box office when it arrived in roughly 300 theaters on Aug. 15. In fact, the final numbers were likely so weak that A24 and Apple Studios took the unorthodox step of not releasing box office numbers at all.

Put that hoe on Netflix so we can watch it, no one is about to go the movies to see it
ian even know it was out
I'm going to see the film this weekend at the theater .
ASAP Is the spoiler of this movie. I don't want to see the movie for free. I do love DW but I'll pass. LOLO
You win some and you lose some. I'm here for this and will catch it streaming.
There was no promotion. Nobody knows the movie came out.
I blame Mr. Fenty.
I lost in interest in what the film was about when I read ice spice was in it.
Who is paying $25/pp to go to the movies? Not me!
Agree there was no promotion whatsoever. I just heard about it yesterday and watched the trailer. They set it up to fail.
People talk, text, and face-time throught out the movie.
I'll wait for streaming.
6:58 that's why I dont go to the movies no mo and COVID. LOLO
I think most folks, like me, didn't like the outcome of A$APRocky's trial & refused to support the flick as a protest.
Plus, the plot didn't seem like something to leave the crib spend $$ on to go check out, despite it being a Spike & DW joint.
Should've known it wasn't doing well when Spike & Jeffrey was giving props to A$APRocky while doing press for it. Add DW dissing tf out of cancel culture during press tour & you got 'Nobody's gonna spend a dime to see this flick
I saw it in the movie theater on opening day to support the film. It was an okay film. #HappytoSupport #BlackArt
I’m going to see it on Tuesday. Wanna support
Imma go this weekend
3:08 you have to join the AMC Club they have $7 movies on Tues
I'll wait for it on Apple TV. No one is going to the movies anymore.
You mean to tell me that Rihanna couldn't buy up a bunch of tickets at movie theaters??? She's been paying for everything else for her baby daddy...
Why would Rihanna buy up tix 4 her BD;s film when she didn't do it 4 her own Smurfs film? Some folks dumb asf on here.
