Bostonians Help Black Mass Numbers
It looks like Black Mass brought in just over $23 million this weekend – and 10% of those tickets were sold right here in the Boston area. Typically, Boston theaters account for only just under 3% of a movie’s total tickets sold. Meanwhile, Whitey Bulger had no intentions of seeing the movie, according to his lawyer. Whitey thinks the story makes a “cartoon mockery” of him and said that the film fails to show the real menace to Boston during that time, which was the federal government due to their “complicity in each and every one of those murders.”
