No support from the mainstream press … no problem.
“District of Corruption,” the new muckraking documentary from Judicial Watch and director Stephen Bannon, scored the second highest per-screen average at the box office this past weekend. The film averaged $7,374 over three theaters, behind only heralded newcomer “The Loneliest Planet” with Gael Garcia Bernal.
“Corruption,” which casts a gimlet eye at both political parties, got virtually ignored by the press and lacked the kind of marketing boost studios often provide documentary releases.
