Both movies are about former U.S. presidents, but they have made very different amounts at the box office.
Two recent movies about former U.S. presidents have had significantly different starts at the box office.The Donald Trump biopic The Apprentice opened in theaters over the weekend and has fared significantly worse than the Ronald Reagan biopic, Reagan, starring Dennis Quaid.Reagan premiered in cinemas August 30 and made $7.65 million at the national box office on its opening weekend, while the The Apprentice, which opened on October 11, made $1.
Reagan was independently financed, with a grassroots marketing campaign which paled in comparison to some advertising budgets for Hollywood movies. Directed by Sean McNamara, it was loosely based on The Crusader: Ronald Reagan and the Fall of Communism, a 2006 book written by Paul Kengor.
