NEW YORK, NY – Dinesh D’Souza’s documentary film, “America: Imagine the World Without Her,” earned an estimated $2.4 million en route to becoming the 7th-highest grossing political documentary of all time. “America” was up 31 percent on July 11 grossing an estimated $947,000 the next in 1,105 movie theaters nationwide to place “America” at No. 12 overall in the domestic film marketplace.
“America” had grossed a cumulative total of $8,267,980, achieving the unusual feat of becoming a film that grosses virtually as much in the second week of distribution as in the first, instead of dropping off some 30 to 40 percent as is typical in the film industry. “‘America’ is a juggernaut that is building,” co-writer and co-producer of the film John Sullivan told WND when the box-office results became available.
Controversy swirled after WND broke the story on July 14 that the retail giant Costco had made a decision to pull D’Souza’s book “America: Imagine a World Without Her” on July 1, the day before D’Souza’s film was scheduled to open in movie theaters over the July 4 weekend. Costco gave in to pressure from irate customers and decided to reverse its decision, placing with the publisher Regnery a re-order for 25,000 copies to be delivered as soon as possible. In an appearance on Fox News this weekend on Mike Huckabee’s show, politically conservative Oscar-winning Jon Voight expressed his concern for the future of the United States, while endorsing D’Souza’s book “America” and encouraging the television audience to see the film by the same name:
