Well, Selma was obliterated during the MLK holiday weekend. I don’t like it as much as some folks, but…that doesn’t seem right. Instead, American Sniper made over $90 million dollars. A film that actively, and unironically, uses the word “savages” and is completely narrow minded. It’s an okay film, but c’mon.
Hit the jump for the box office performances for the January 16-19 weekend.
