Not sure.  It was the highest grossing movie of the weekend, but it still way underperformed the studio's expectations.  The boycott backlash might well have been the difference.

So keep white in white roles only, black in black roles, hispanics in hispanic roles, etc. How long until you want them completed segregated from having more than one race in any single movie? Segregation much..

So where are all the movies where black guys are taking all the white roles? Because movies only have one race casted in them..

These types of excuses are beyond pathetic

People in this thread don't have an issue with fictional characters, races, etc being portrayed by _____ race in movies. What they have an issue with is history being changed. For example you can't make a movie about Obama and have a pale white dude play him. It would be completely inaccurate.

Egypt bans 'inaccurate' Exodus film

View media item 1324343

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Egypt has banned a Hollywood film based on the Biblical book of Exodus because of what censors described as "historical inaccuracies".

The head of the censorship board said these included the film's depiction of Jews as having built the Pyramids, and that an earthquake, not a miracle by Moses, caused the Red Sea to part.

Exodus: Gods and Kings stars Christian Bale as Moses.

There have also been reports that the film is banned in Morocco.

Although the state-run Moroccan Cinema Centre (CCM) had given the film the green light, Moroccan business website Medias24.com said that officials had decided to ban the movie from being screened the day before its premiere.

According to the book of Exodus, Jewish slaves were led to freedom by Moses after God inflicted a series of plagues on Egypt.

The Pyramids are believed to have been built about 1,000 years before the story of the Exodus.

The Biblical story tells how the Red Sea was parted by a miracle performed by God through Moses, allowing the Jewish people to escape from the pursuing Egyptian army.

Exodus: Gods and Kings, which cost a reported $140m (£89m) to make, took $24.5m on its debut weekend.

Mixed reviews

The Biblical epic overtook the third instalment of The Hunger Games, following three weeks at number one. However, it has had mixed reviews.

Time called it a "cinematically uninspired retelling of the Moses story", Vulture said it was "as uneven as Ridley Scott's career", while the New York Times described it as "both woefully insufficient and much too much".

The film's opening fell well short of other modern Biblical films, including Darren Aronofsky's Noah which took $43.7m on its opening weekend in March and 2004's The Passion of the Christ, which took $83.3m.

Ridley Scott is an all-time great director, but I can't think of another all-time great that has had so many ups and downs. He made Alien and Blade Runner, which could legitimately be considered as #1A and #1B greatest science fiction movies ever... But he also made G.I. Jane and now this.
