The Movie That Celebrities Are Seeing This Weekend? ‘Blackfish’
The box-office buzz this weekend is all about Blackfish. The critically acclaimed “mesmerizing psychological thriller” chronicles the true story of SeaWorld’s frustrated orca Tilikum and the circumstances surrounding the deaths of the three people he has killed since being stolen from his ocean home and family and forced to live in a concrete tank.
PETA is proud to support filmmaker Gabriela Cowperthwaite’s eye-opening documentary and was lucky to grab this exclusive interview with her.
Celebrities have been tweeting their excitement over the opening:
