Gods of Egypt is a critical and box office failure

Awful reviews and criticism of whitewashing seem to have hurt Gods of Egypt in the long run. The $140M film is projected to make as little as $12 million over the weekend. While Hollywood whitewashing is a huge issue, one tweet highlighted the silver lining for people of color here.

Hope it ends the careers of those racist shitheads.

This is so sad. I wanna see a movie about Egyptian gods so much. But God damn it, why do we keep doing this??? Like I’m White and as a white person I am tired of this, so like I can’t even imagine…

Seriously Hollywood, wtf.

Don’t they realize how much money they would make if these movies were true to character? Everyone would pay if only because it’s such a rarity.
