Yet, mysteriously, the movie was dropped from 200 theaters heading into its second week. It was dropped from theaters with 15 or 30 screens, even though it was a top ten earner in those specific multiplexes. The film's producer says he's never heard of a movie getting the boot in its second week after such a strong showing in its first. On top of that, moviegoers across the country have reported that even some of the theaters still showing the film are preventing people from actually seeing it. Showings have been canceled with no explanation. Other showings have been called "sold out" despite open seats. There would appear to be an active effort to blackball "Gosnell."
The censorship should not surprise us. The movie has met roadblock after roadblock, every step of the way. Most news outlets refused to even review the film. As of this writing, the review aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes has only been able to find ten write ups of "Gosnell" across the entire media landscape. Robert Redford's movie about an old guy robbing banks, which made not much more than "Gosnell" in its opening weekend, has been reviewed well over 100 times.
And this is all in keeping with how the media and the left treated the actual events that the film is based on. That is to say, they didn't treat the events in any way at all. The serial murder of hundreds of infants at a "medical clinic" in a major American city was steadfastly ignored by the Left and the media. They didn't put their own spin on it. They didn't create a narrative to explain it away. They didn't engage in any arguments about it. They simply ignored it. There is something about Gosnell the person and "Gosnell" the movie that absolutely terrifies the Left. The story is so hazardous to their agenda, it so contradicts their narrative, that all they can do is shove the whole thing in a closet somewhere and pretend it never happened.
