@theviewabc had a reunion of #SisterAct2BackinHabit for the over 30 year anniversary, why wasn’t the great Bill Duke invited? He was the director of this hit film and played Mr. Johnson in it. “I think a Black director doing something of this magnitude was not necessarily acceptable in those days,” Duke said. “In those days, I was never going to get the same respect the original got.” – Bill Duke on Sister Act 2 Here’s some trivia on the film: *Budget: Estimated at $38 million *Gross revenue: $57,319,029 in the US and Canada, and $125 million worldwide *Running time: 107 minutes *MPAA rating: PG for some mild language This film was a solid hit and has been a cult classic for over 30 years. Sister Act 2 is on Disney and Tubi for free. #WhoopiGoldberg #kathynajimy #MaggieSmith #realbillduke #jeniferLewis #LaurenHill #TheView @heidibfuller @sydthewriter #TorrenceBrannonReese #MPJINews #variety #indiewire #garrettmorris #sherylleeralph #wendymakkena
