Shocker of the day. Latest anti-war film FLOPS!
When will the Left ever learn that their morally retarded views do not resonate with mainstream Americans? The answer, of course is NEVAH!!
#7 Stop-Loss opened to only $1.6 million Friday from just 1,291 plays and should eke out $4+M. Although the drama from MTV Films was the best-reviewed movie opening this weekend, Paramount wasn’t expecting much because no Iraq war-themed movie has yet to perform at the box office. “It’s not looking good,” a studio source told me before the weekend. “No one wants to see Iraq war movies. No matter what we put out there in terms of great cast or trailers, people were completely turned off. It’s a function of the marketplace not being ready to address this conflict in a dramatic way because the war itself is something that’s unresolved yet. It’s a shame because it’s a good movie that’s just ahead of its time.”
Ahead of its time? No, that is not why it failed. It failed as did the other leftist anti-military films, because Americans simply do not want to watch their heroes get slimed for 90 minutes!
