Rep. AOC’s climate change film flop: To the End fails to earn wider box office release
The film, which tracks Ocasio-Cortez’s fight to stop climate change, failed to earn a wider release pattern after it debuted on 120 theater screens on Dec. 9.
The premiere fell to the No. 34 spot in its opening weekend with a dismal grossing of $9,694, according to movie analysis site Numbers. The film features street protests and conversations in the halls of Congress as Ocasio-Cortez, activist Varshini Prakash, climate policy writer Rhiana Gunn-Wright, and political strategist Alexandra Rojas grapple with government policy and social narratives around climate.
To the End saw director Rachel Lears team up with Ocasio-Cortez for a second time following the duo’s first film together, Knock Down the House, which debuted in 2019. "To the End is more all-hands-on-deck than Knock Down the House," film critic site RogerEbert.com noted."It’s inspiring to see, and To the End is set to ignite more Americans to take action. One setback is that it doesn’t feel to offer too clear a sense of what’s in the Green New Deal; instead it's about what a positive future these leaders could bring.
