What's next: The Daily Wire has a scripted series in development, as well as another feature film. Boreing argues that most entertainment catered to conservatives is produced by elite Hollywood studios that need to appeal to conservatives - like shows about cops - but doesn't actually respect their values."We have to challenge what you (the audience) think it means to make art with a conservative view so that we can compete with Hollywood for entertainment dollars.".He said the film - which includes graphic violence and nudity - is a risk that's meant to take The Daily Wire's audience out of its comfort zone.

The Daily Wire recently acquired the exclusive rights to distribute the film in North America.īetween the lines: Boreing is an entertainment veteran who previously ran a secretive Hollywood group for conservatives called "Friends of Abe.".The premiere occurred during a "Daily Wire Backstage" virtual event and drew over 300,000 viewers across its site and YouTube, a company spokesperson says.Boreing and co-founder Ben Shapiro debuted its first film last week, a school shooting thriller called "Run Hide Fight.".Why it matters: The company, which is profitable and grossed $65 million in revenue last year, wants to differentiate itself from other conservative subscription media brands by focusing mostly on entertainment, rather than political commentary. The Daily Wire, a conservative media brand known for its prolific Facebook presence and popular podcast "The Ben Shapiro show," is moving into entertainment, its CEO and co-founder Jeremy Boreing tells Axios.
