The left obsessively insists that 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi is a flop. Never mind that it's a low budget movie with no star power that is up to $32 million. It's a flop because it fits the narrative.
But the interesting thing about this particular flop is that it appears to have added 528 theaters and is now playing in nearly 3,000 theaters. That's certainly odd for a flop, but this particular "flop" has a healthy per theater of over $3K. That's not what a flop looks like. But it is in keeping with the reality that the movie is doing better in some parts of the country than in others. That's why more theaters are scrambling to get on board. In some parts of the country, 13 Hours is packing them in. In other parts of the country, it's not.
So 13 Hours isn't American Sniper. It's not a universal hit. But neither is it a flop. Instead it appears to have the ingredients to have staying power.
