That is down 3.5 million viewers from the 12 million viewers who watched the fourth season premiere.

In the highly sought after age demographic of 18-49, only 4.2 million tuned in.

When Phil Robertson insulted black people and gay people back in December. His comments created  a huge uproar in the media, and fans passionately defended the series, but the ratings haven’t held up.

Does this mean it is the end for “Duck Dynasty?”

American Hustle Director Makes Slavery Joke Regarding Jennifer Lawerence

David O. Russell Director of American Hustle made a “slavery” joke regarding Jennifer Lawerence’s commitment in Hunger Games.

Director David Russell recently commented that Jennifer Lawrence’s obligation to the ‘Hunger Games’ franchise can be compared to slavery!

 

david o. russell

Russell worked with Lawrence on the new box office hit ‘American Hustle’, and  ‘Silver Linings Playbook’ and recently he said:

“I personally think they should give her a bit of breathing room over there because they’re printing money. But she’s a very alive person. I’ll tell you what it is about that girl — talk about 12 years of slavery, that’s what the franchise is. And I’m going to get in so much trouble for saying that.”

David Russell even compared the ‘Hunger Games’ to a hamster wheel! The director,  of ’12 Years of Slave’ told the Daily Mail:

“I think David Russell was trying to raise some legitimate concerns about how young actors are treated by powerful movie executives … But I’m surprised that a director of David Russell’s calibre doesn’t appear to have taken the time to watch ’12 Years a Slave’ or else he wouldn’t have been so glib with his comparisons.”

What do you think of the comments? Do you think he went too far?

‘Lone Survivor” Beats Competition in Box Office Charts

‘Lone Survivor’ is the true story of a failed U.S. Navy Seasl mission to kill a Taliban leader in Afghanistan and this weekend the featre film collected nearly 40 million dollars in U.S. ticket sales, beating  “Frozen” and winning the weekend box office race.

‘Lone Surivor’ stars Mark Wahlberg as he plays Marcus Luttrell, the only one of four SEALS to return from the mission and who wrote the 2007 book on which the movie is based upon.

Other top movies included “The Wolf of Wall Street” starring Leonardo DiCaprio as it collected $9 million dollars in box office sales. But, the most disappointing release was, “The Legend of Hercules.”

“The Legend of Hercules” featured fashion model and actor Kellan Lutz, as it collected $8.6 million in ticket sales.

Despite collecting nearly 40 million dollars to produce the “Lone Survivor” movie, it took $40 million dollars to make the project, according to Universal.

The movie was heavily marketed and was only expected to draw in $23 million dollars in box office sales making “Lone Survivor” the biggest movie behind “Cloverfield” to be released in January.

What did you think of “Lone Survivor”? Leave us a comment below!
