You knew it was coming didn’t you? Southside with You is an Obama puff movie about how Obama met Mooch in Chicago. There have been TV ads for this movie almost every other commercial. So this weekend it came out and people aren’t exactly beating down the theater doors the see it. It’s been an epic flop so far, despite the commercials and media fawning.

Southside With You, which follows a young President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama (then Michelle Robinson) on their first date in 1989 when they were young lawyers at the same Chicago firm, opened to $3 million from 813 theaters. It came in No. 14.
Completely mediocre numbers for Southside with you, despite the media lovefest of this junk film. I guess Obama isn’t love as much as he thinks hes is.
