A few years ago when I was working as a policeman I was assigned to a security detail that provided protection to a certain Baptist church that travels throughout the US protesting at police and military funerals. It was personally distasteful for me but it was orders from above and the US Supreme Court said it was a lawful protest.

As long as the boycott/protest is lawful you should't have any issues.

He will make much more than .15 cents from your $15 tickets. You might be shocked to know the theater, in the first week, often pays 90-95% of box office to the studio. Theater profits come from the concession stand.

I'll pass on this flick.
