Did Y'all know there was a Ronald Reagan movie out in the theaters?

Surprised I haven't heard about this. I happened to drive by a billboard - of course in a more republican side of town.
Stars trump fans Dennis Quaid and Jon Voight.
Kinda wonder why RWers haven't promoted it more - Were they worried that it would piss off trump and MAGA?

Grossed $19.3 million so far on a $25 million budget. A general rule is that a film has to make 2 1/2 times its production cost just to break even.

On Rotten Tomatoes it’s getting an 18% rating from the critics and a 98% rating from the audience members. Filled with five star reviews from an obvious bunch of trolls who have never seen it.

There is probably a good Reagan movie that could be made, but this isn't it. MAGA needless to say has no interest in the real Reagan.
