The Box Office Bombing of 'Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret': A Call to Show Up for Teen Girls.
"Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret" movie, based on the beloved coming-of-age Judy Blume novel, has been a box office bomb despite nostalgic appeal, a star-studded cast, and glowing reviews. The movie, set in the 1970s, follows 11-year-old Margaret Simon as she experiences puberty, crushes, and being part of an interfaith family. The film is free from sexually suggestive situations and over-the-top Leftist propaganda. Despite a subject matter that should appeal to both sides of the political spectrum, the movie seemed to rely too much on drawing in an audience of middle-aged women eager to relive their childhoods.
