Exclusive | Win one for the Gipper! Ronald Reagan film tops in home sales following Trump victory

Now that’s winning one for “The Gipper” — the late actor and President Ronald Reagan.

The film “Reagan” has surged to the top of the home sales charts following President-elect Donald Trump’s victory on Nov. 5.

“Reagan” was listed as #2 on Amazon’s Best Sellers list overall Monday for DVD, Blu-ray and digital download sales.

It was listed No. 1 over the weekend, the movie’s publicist said.

The team that created “Reagan” cited similarities between the two Republican giants and the synergies between Trump’s successful campaign and the movie that retells the life story of Reagan, a popular two-term president and previously a Hollywood actor.

Reagan earned the nickname “the Gipper” for his first big role as an actor portraying gravely ill football player George Gipp in the 1940 film classic “Knute Rockne, All American.” Gipp was in his hospital bed, when he asked coach Knute Rockne to have the team “Win just one for the Gipper.”

“First and foremost, Reagan believed in America and Americans. I believe Trump feels the same. Reagan was, and Trump is, willing to fight for what they believed was right,” “Reagan” screenwriter Howard Klausner told The Post.

Asked if the Reagan film will do well with home sales, he said, “I do. I believe people are just consuming the overwhelming majority of their filmed entertainment in the home now.” 

Actor Robert Davi, who played Soviet Premier Leonid Brezhnev in the film and is a staunch Trump backer, said, “The film showed how Reagan was demonized just as Trump was.”

He said he was “elated” by Trump’s victory and was in Palm Beach with the president-elect for the victory celebration.

“They were both red, white and blue. The difference is in literary style. Trump is like Hemingway and James Joyce, direct and stream of consciousness, Reagan had a more restrained, poetic style,” Davi said.

The film stars Dennis Quaid as Reagan, Penelope Ann Miller as first lady Nancy Reagan, Jon Voight as a KGB agent and Mena Suvari as Jane Wyman, Reagan’s first wife. It first hit theaters just before Labor Day.

Mark Joseph, founder and CEO of MJM Entertainment Group, produced “Reagan.”

But there were complaints of liberal bias after only a few theaters in blue New York City and much of the metro region didn’t screen the film.

“Reagan” also faced censorship from Meta, Facebook’s parent company, which later admitted to the error of blocking promos for the film.

“Reagan” still reached  $30 million in box office receipts, surpassing presidential biopics LBJ, Nixon and Oliver Stone’s “W” about former two-term GOP President George W. Bush., the publicist said. 

Davi said the voters saw through efforts to censor Reagan and cancel Trump.

“New York and California are 98% propaganda wings for the Democratic party and they don’t want anything that hurts their agenda. As we saw with the election and with Elon Music taking over X, [Americans] realize the absolute vacant and subversiveness of the media industrial complex,” the conservative actor said.

“Many people that have seen the film have come up to me and said it was the best film they’ve ever seen. Random people at the supermarket.”
