Analysis: «All Eyez on Me» is on track to earn $27 million in its opening weekend at the box office — why are diverse films underestimated?
Sorry I haven’ t read the article yet, which isn’ t necessarily fair, but off the top of my head, how many box office prognosticators aren’ t white men? How many tracking companies aren’ t headed by white men? Box Office Guru is the only website that springs to mind that isn’ t run by a white guy, but I don’ t know if I would say he has his finger on the pulse of the African American movie going community. He tends to get Indian/Bollywood openings closer to right that most sites, go fig!;) In this day and age of bloggers and bloggers I’ m sure there are several forecasters of all stripes and colors, I just don’ t read them all, but I’ m will to bet all of the major ones, save for Guru, are run or written by white guys.
