Matt Walsh's latest film, Am I Racist? is a scathing takedown of the far-left diversity, equity, and inclusion movement, often referred to as the "woke mind virus." Funded by Jeremy Boreing and Ben Shapiro's conservative media outlet, The Daily Wire, the documentary has already grossed $9 million in just ten days, securing the number six spot on the US box-office chart.
According to figures shared by Box Office Mojo, Walsh's Am I Racist? secured the number six spot in the US box office charts through Sunday, earning $9 million in the ten days out in theaters nationwide. Ahead of Walsh's film is Deadpool & Wolverine at number 5, Never Let Go at number 4, Speak No Evil at number 3, Transformers One at 2, and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice at the first spot.
Am I Racist? essentially took a page from Sacha Baron Cohen's Borat to go deep undercover in the world of wokeism. Wash dressed like a white liberal hipster professor and paraded his DEI certification while speaking with so-called anti-racism experts.
