Matt Walsh Satire ‘Am I Racist?’ Hits 1,500-Plus Theaters as Ben Shapiro’s Daily Wire Bets Big for Movie Dominance
The 'Borat'-style mockumentary about the DEI movement represents the most ambitious swing to date for Ben Shapiro's The Daily Wire.
The Daily Wire hopes to add to the list of films that includes “ The Passion of the Christ,” “ I Can Only Imagine ” and last year’s “ Sound of Freedom ” with the satire “Am I Racist?” — which marks the conservative media company’s first wide theatrical release. Starring comedian Matt Walsh, the “Borat”-style mockumentary takes aim at the DEI movement and is set to open in 1,510 theaters today, representing the most ambitious swing for the 9-year-old company founded by Ben Shapiro and Jeremy Boreing. Director Justin Folk worked on the visual effects teams of such films as “The Matrix Reloaded” before bailing to tackle stories “more about the war of ideas and what’s going on in our country,” as he describes it.
