1. It's almost as if nobody cares anymore about attacking the Kennedys.

2. with all due respect to the late Ted Kennedy, sometimes 'kicking a dead horse' gets old

Seems redemption (which Ted appeared to have worked to earn in spades for decades afterwards) only applies to RETHUGS.

3. With a $34 million budget, yeah, it was never going to get the double it needed

Especially since it only went as wide as 1,600 screens. Sadly, like a lot of these projects, it'll find its home in some fringe places and will get pushed a lot. It'll become another part of the body politic and will be referenced and influenced by "true believers."

4. I saw more people talking about it here than anywhere else.

5. Alas...

6. If u want lies turn on fox news

7. That movie does not interest me. I admire the Kennedys and

trying to smear a dead Kennedy is beyond my understanding. Some Hollywood Directors are so darn callous, it is all about money and am glad the movie flopped!

8. Here's my impression of millennial America...

"Ted who...?"

9. "Chappaquidud"

11. Well played

10. The reason it exists is not to make a profit.

It's purpose is to rewrite history.

12. I Believe It Was Made/Released For One Very Specific Purpose

To smear the Kennedy name just before Joe Kennedy makes a run for President.

13. The reality and rumor of this topic is what great movies are made of.

It's lack of success can be directly contributed to the political direction of it. Change the names and call it The Valley and all of the elements are there.
