One such media personality was Tyrone Edwards, a current co-host of the Canadian entertainment talk show eTalk, who not only praised the film directly to Davis during its September 12th premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, but also inquired as to her thoughts on how audiences can help prevent the hype surrounding The Woman King and other Black-led movies from being just “a moment”.Viola Davis Says That Audiences Who Don’t See ‘The Woman King’ Are “Supporting The Narrative That Black Women Cannot Lead The Box Office Globally”
Viola Davis claims audiences uninterested in 'The Woman King' are "supporting the narrative that Black women cannot lead the box office."
“I was talking to [your co-star] Lashanna Lynch,” said Edwards, “and she said, you know, ‘I’m tired of these Black movies just being ‘a moment’. And for some reason, she felt like this isn’t just a moment, this can be the new normal going forward.”
“That wasn’t what I planned to ask you today, but that just really resonated with me,” he added, before turning the question to Davis. “What do you think about that? In terms of moving forward and making this normal? Because this carpet feels different to me, and I’ve been doing this for a while.”
To this, Davis replied, “Absolutely. I completely, 100% agree.”
However, she did have one caveat, telling Edwards, “But here’s the thing I’m going to add to that: It will just be a moment if people don’t come see the movie.”
“Okay?” she continued. “Because you’re sending a very clear message to a machine called Hollywood…Hollywood is interested in green. It just is, it is what I do, so if you don’t come see it then you’re sending a message that black women cannot lead the box office globally.”
“You are supporting that narrative,” the double Suicide Squad star accused. “And if you want to normalize it, come see the same way you would Black Panther, Iron Man, Spider-Man, any other movie that doesn’t have any of us in it, or one or two of us in it.”
it needs to have some diversity white ladies as tribeswomen. it would actually be pretty cool if they did that.

A French Legionnaire shoves a bayonet through the sole surviving Dahomey Woman soldier's eye socket. Dead to a woman. The French Colonial Legion lost barely anyone.

this his how the film should have ended lol.
I know it’s a stupid point, but that headline is dumb as fuck. If the “audience” doesn’t go to see the movie, then they aren’t the fucking audience.One such media personality was Tyrone Edwards, a current co-host of the Canadian entertainment talk show eTalk, who not only praised the film directly to Davis during its September 12th premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, but also inquired as to her thoughts on how audiences can help prevent the hype surrounding The Woman King and other Black-led movies from being just “a moment”.Viola Davis Says That Audiences Who Don’t See ‘The Woman King’ Are “Supporting The Narrative That Black Women Cannot Lead The Box Office Globally”

the audience is people who go see movies, the usual people who go every week or so . they take the wife, gf or the kids and see each new release like clockwork. i used to be one of those people, every other saturday my dad and i would meet up to see something. my job was to find a movie "worthy" of our time. there was usually something to kill 2 hours with. did that for 20 years. there just isnt much to be excited about anymore so a film like TWK has to really lay it on thick to get the asses in the seats. black people wouldnt generally go see a film like this because its all ugly black women and there isnt any car chases or gun battles and there seems to be lots of dialogue. Lucas should have had a hit with Red Tails, but he alienated the white audience and people were still pissed off over the prequels. so RT flopped. this movie also needs white people to come see it, but white people dont want to see a movie about slavetraders. in other words this movie is going to be a dud even if this has a good opening weekend
