The �Space Jam� sequel starring woke NBA star LeBron James is on track
to lose more than a hundred million dollars after being shut out from
Communist China and scoring anemic numbers at domestic theaters.

The hit to �Space Jam: A New Legacy� is particularly bad news for
James, who infamously pandered publicly to Communist China and turned
his back on freedom protesters in Hong Kong.

Outkick founder and radio host Clay Travis summed up the damage to
James, and the general silence from the media about it, Wednesday on
Twitter:

�Despite LeBron James shutting up & dribbling for Chairman Xi, China
still won�t allow Space Jam 2 to air, meaning the movie is likely to
lose several hundred million dollars. Should be a massive story. LeBron
bent the knee & China still spurned him. Yet media isn�t covering it,�
Travis said.

�Space Jam 2 cost $200 million to make and market and will likely only
make $60-70 million without China,� he continued. �Meaning LeBron�s
movie will lose over a hundred million dollars, at least. China
blocking the movie is a huge story. But no one is even discussing it in
media. Strange.�

�LeBron ripped the first amendment in the US, declined to speak up for
basic human rights in China, & shut up and dribbled for Chairman Xi all
to get Space Jam 2 on in China,� Travis added. �And now LeBron won�t
even talk about his movie being banned. Because he�s still afraid of
upsetting China.�

John Nolte at Breitbart reported Saturday that the sequel �died at the
domestic box office� its opening weekend, pulling �a pathetic $32
million opening.�

�By comparison, all the way back in 1996, Michael Jordan�s original
cleared $27.5 million on more than a thousand fewer theaters,� Nolte
emphasized.

Just to produce the flick, he said, it cost $150 million, �and that
doesn�t include promotional costs, which easily puts it closer to $250
million.�

�Plenty of movies die a domestic death at the box office,� Nolte
explained. �However, they can still become profitable and declare
themselves a worldwide hit, thanks mainly to China�s mammoth box office
market, which has saved many Hollywood blockbusters from financial
catastrophe.�

James� movie was denied a Chinese opening, though, despite his
pandering to China. Most notably, James left then-Houston Rockets GM
Daryl Morrey to dangle after he committed the grave sin of expressing
support to Honk Kong protesters, The Daily Wire�s Megan Basham
reported:

Last October, after then-Houston Rockets GM Daryl Morrey
posted a tweet in support of Hong Kong�s pro-democracy
protesters, James was quick to provide aid and comfort to
their totalitarian oppressors.

As The Daily Wire reported, James said, in a move that was
widely perceived as an effort to stay in the CCP�s good graces,
�We all talk about this freedom of speech, yes, we all do have
freedom of speech but at times there are ramifications for the
negative that can happen when you�re not thinking about others
and you�re only thinking about yourself.� He added, �I don�t
want to get into a � feud with Daryl Morey, but I believe he
wasn�t educated on the situation at hand.�

Basketball fans then routinely taunted James, who has postured
himself as a social justice warrior, for his ongoing silence
in the face of China�s oppressive policies in Hong Kong and
its humanitarian atrocities against its own Uyghur population.

Basham also highlighted the embarrassing reviews of �Space Jam: A New
Legacy,� one of which likened the flick to a �corporate ad campaign.�

You'd think the article might have say WHY it's banned in China?
