After the box office success of Am I Racist?, The Daily Wire has set the date the film from Matt Walsh will be available on its streaming platform.
The documentary will be added to the Daily Wire+ platform on Monday, October 28th, marking just over six weeks of the film being in theatres before it was added to the offering.
The documentary was released theatrically on Friday, September 13th. It has earned more than $12 million at the box office, making it the highest-grossing documentary in the United States in the past six years.
The film has received mostly positive reviews on the popular site Rotten Tomatoes, with a 71% favorability score. However, it was mostly ignored by major film critics, much to the chagrin of Walsh and his team of producers which included Daily Wire co-founders Ben Shapiro and Jeremy Boreing.
“Most mainstream critics have ignored our film,” Matt Walsh said on social media after Am I Racist? opened to a more than $5 million box office weekend, placing it in the top five movies that week. After noting that a YouTuber reviewed the film with high praise, Walsh said “His review has over 300,000 views in less than a day. Maybe that will inspire other major critics to follow his lead.”
The report of the debut date on DailyWire+ was first reported by Deadline.
