A conservative and a faith-based film landed at nos. 4 and 10 at the domestic box office this weekend, with a solid showing for anime Dan Dan Dan: First Encounter and a nice limited opening for My Old Ass.
Am I Racist?, the first theatrical release from Jeremy Boreing and Ben Shapiro’s The Daily Wire, had a phenomenal opening weekend grossing $4.75 million on 1,517 screens for the no. 4 spot at the domestic box office and one of the top documentary bows of the past decade.
The anti-dei film is distributed by Sdg Releasing, which also handled Walsh’s previous doc What Is A Woman?.

Matt Walsh isn’t one to shy away from a contentious issue. In his previous film “What is a Woman?”, the Daily Wire columnist sought to understand the concept of gender identity. Now, in “Am I Racist?”, Walsh tackles another timely topic – diversity, equity and inclusion training in America.
Like his character Borat, Walsh goes undercover for this documentary. Only instead of foreign journalist, he assumes the guise of a white man earnest to learn. His goal is to explore whether he himself holds racist views. But Walsh also wants to pull back the curtain on Dei experts and uncover their true messages.
To do so, Walsh receives online certification in diversity training. From there, he infiltrates seminars and workshops, conducting surprising interviews along the way. One of his biggest “gets” is Robin Diangelo, the bestselling author on antiracism. Walsh even hosts his own Dei event, all while keeping his true identity hidden.

Every now and then, a low-budget film emerges from outside the studio system and catches fire with the largely ignored right-leaning demographic, leaving mouths agape in Hollywood’s executive suites.
The Daily Wire hopes to add to the list of films that includes “The Passion of the Christ,” “I Can Only Imagine” and last year’s “Sound of Freedom” with the satire “Am I Racist?” — which marks the conservative media company’s first wide theatrical release. Starring comedian Matt Walsh, the “Borat”-style mockumentary takes aim at the Dei movement and is set to open in 1,510 theaters today, representing the most ambitious swing for the 9-year-old company founded by Ben Shapiro and Jeremy Boreing.
“They’re leaving plenty of money on the table, and we’re happy to come in and take some of it. Because, at a minimum, you are explicitly refusing to serve 50% of the audience,” Walsh says...

Conservative politico, podcaster, media personality and provocateur Matt Walsh is on a mission to answer a complicated question in the forthcoming documentary Am I Racist?
The Justin Folk-directed film, described as a “social experiment,” comes from the Daily Wire and Digital Astronaut and will mark the company’s first theatrical launch for an in-house production with distribution handled by Sdg Releasing.
To introduce the doc, Daily Wire dropped a trailer on Tuesday that finds Walsh on said mission as he attends anti-racism workshops, crashes private intellectual dinner parties and conducts sit-down interviews with experts and everyday Americans alike on the fiery subject, all the while playing the role of “a bumbling, zealous Dei trainee,” per Daily Wire. One such expert is author Robin Diangelo, who penned White Fragility: Why It’s So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism.
“Growing up in the ‘90s, you never thought much about race.

Three people who were interviewed in the anti-trans film What Is a Woman? say the filmmakers used deceptive recruiting tactics that contradicted the doc’s promise to be a “fearless” examination of the modern gender debate.
The participants told NBC News that they felt they’d been “tricked” by producers who hid behind the facade of flattering and vague language. Dr. Marci Bowers, a California surgeon whose patients include trans women, provided the outlet with what she referred to as a “completely deceptive” email from a producer. According to a copy provided to NBC News,...

Introducing Culture War Barbie?
Elon Musk has entered the Barbie chat by mocking the summer’s biggest box office hit on Twitter (or X, or whatever he’s calling it this week).
The billionaire wrote: “If you take a shot every time Barbie says the word ‘Patriarchy,’ you will pass out before the movie ends.”
Musk was responding to a Barbenheimer meme that compared Twitter to Barbie and his new X name for his social network to Oppenheimer.
He’s the latest to accuse Barbie — from filmmaker Greta Gerwig and starring Margot Robbie — of being left-wing propaganda in the wake of the movie earning the biggest opening weekend of the year, racking up $162 million domestically. Barbie follows “Stereotypical Barbie” (Robbie) and Ken (Ryan Gosling) as they leave Barbieland and journey into the real world following an existential crisis.
Mattel executives have tried to keep the film from being viewed as political.

A few minutes into the documentary What Is a Woman?, Matt Walsh is seen striding into the woods with a fishing rod, his plaid shirt, vest, and close-cropped beard, giving off lumberjack dad energy. “I like to come out here to think,” he intones as he casts his line into the water. “Nature seems to always tell the truth, even when we don’t want to hear it.” He then asks himself a series of rhetorical, seemingly joking questions about gender and identity: “Is there a son trapped in my daughter’s body?...

New Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino will have some key staffing roles to fill when she finally takes the reins this month.
Twitter’s head of brand safety and ad quality, A.J. Brown, has decided to leave the company, the Wall Street Journal reported.
That follows the departure of Ella Irwin, who told Reuters Thursday that she has resigned from her role as VP of product for trust and safety at the social media company. That job saw her as the overseer of content moderation, which often required dealing directly with suspended accounts and making sure ads did not appear next to unsuitable content.
The Wall St. Journal reported that the their exits came in part because of a controversy over Twitter’s handling of Matt Walsh’s film “What Is A Woman?” a movie about gender issues. It was briefly offered for free on Twitter.

San Francisco, June 2 (Ians) In yet another high-profile exit, Twitter’s head of trust and safety, Ella Irwin, has resigned amid ongoing drama over a film.
She joined Twitter in June 2022 and was appointed as head of trust and safety in November, replacing Yoel Roth who resigned after Elon Musk took over.
According to reports, her departure coincides with the platform’s ongoing challenges in retaining advertisers, primarily due to concerns from brands about their association with inappropriate content.
Conservative outlet the Daily Wire claimed on Thursday that Twitter “cancelled a deal” for them to make its film, ‘What is a Woman?’ available on the micro-blogging platform for free.
“Twitter cancelled a deal with @realdailywire to premiere ‘What is a Woman?’ for free on the platform because of two instances of misgendering,” posted Jeremy Boreing, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Daily Wire.
Musk replied: “This was a mistake by many people on Twitter.

To say that’s been a rocky month at Fox News would be an understatement. First, in April, the conservative cable news network agreed to pay $787.5 million to settle a defamation suit from Dominion Voting Systems for airing lies about the company interfering in the 2020 presidential election — avoiding a trial that was bound to prove intensely embarrassing. Days later, they fired their biggest primetime star, Tucker Carlson, following a period of internal warfare between the host and top executives. Ratings immediately took a dive, with a wide swath of conservatives...

For years, right-wing commentator, Daily Wire host, and all-around shitty provocateur Matt Walsh has used his platform to go after trans people. So it’s not surprising that this essentialist ideology has become the centerpiece of his new documentary, What Is a Woman? The film, which premiered on the Daily Wire’s website earlier this month, faced controversy leading up to its release. Now, the Daily Wire has bought ads on major social media platforms like TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram, to promote the film — and so far, even though the...
