I think if it wasn't a shitty movie, it might get more play. I wouldn't show it because I disagree with it's politics, sure, but I'm sure most theaters would rather just show movies people want to see, as that's how they make money.
Eh. Honestly out of the three big(ish) right wing Christian(ish) movies that came out in Theaters this year (Am I Racist?, God's Not Dead: Never Die Again Tomorrow or whatever it's called and Reagan), I think Reagan and God's Not Dead 25 are duking it out for last place. If the movie was good people would be talking about it, but Am I Racist? is the only ones I hear people still talking about, and that came out first out of the three.
If it was bad but still a moneymaker, I'm sure that all the major chains would carry it, but smaller independent theaters would likely still refuse to show it.
