Once Rejected for Racial Difference, Gabrielle Union Extends Support to $17,000,000 Worth Horror Flick: ?Run Don?t Walk?

Gabrielle Union has a renowned career in Hollywood. Once a complete unknown, the actor/model has moved from strength to strength. Known to some as the wife of Dwyane Wade, Union is a legitimate household name herself. But, the road wasn’t always easy. Having gone through many hardships, Union’s journey is one of perseverance. So, it is natural for her to lend support and recognition to other black members of the community for their struggles.

Currently, the raging storm for the community is a cult-hit horror film, and Gab has taken notice.

Gabrielle Union is a fan of this smash-hit horror

For a genre that is far too common, horror movies can still work wonders when done correctly. Just in the last few years, names like?It,?The Conjuring, and Insidious?have done exceedingly well. But, those were all heavy money, major projects. A relatively underrated movie that may have sweet under the radar came out a few weeks ago. Released June 16, 2023,?The Blackening?is a horror/comedy movie with a limited budget. However, for fans of the genre, it quickly became a favorite.

Made on a budget of just $5 million, the movie has grossed over $17 million thus far. While the total sum might feel pedestrian when movie earnings have reached a sum upwards of a billion dollars, it’s actually a great return on the investment. For a relatively unknown cast, featuring primarily black artists, the movie has been a smashing hit.

Gabrielle Union, shared a story on her Instagram, with a moving caption, “Run don’t walk. You will not be disappointed!!!”

The movie has been a critical success, with 86% of critics from Rotten Tomatoes giving it a favorable review. Further, they called it a thought-provoking satire on tropes and racial stereotypes.

Union, who was held back due to her color at a point in time, was quick to not let other members of the black community feel the same way.

Sugar & Spice but not everything nice

Though the Miami Heat legend’s wife has built a solid career, at home and in the entertainment industry for herself, her launch was less than ideal. While Wade’s career as a top draft pick was relatively smooth throughout, Union had a rougher start.

In 2001, Union tried out for the high school flick Sugar & Spice.?But, the team wanted an all-white cast for their project, and unfortunately, Union was on the outs. Certainly, this discrimination flavored Union’s recent comments on the mostly-black horror film.

However, her eventual major breakthrough with?Bring It On?launched her career to stardom. As she makes peace her priority, it’s nice to see that she doesn’t harbor any harsh feelings toward the crew.

For a black woman to build an amazing career, and to continue to uplift others in the community as well, is a phenomenal achievement, and deserves all the kudos.
