Another Antiwar Iraq Movies Dies at the Box Office

Imagine my surprise - another antiwar Iraq movie tanks:

I'm told #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."

Wrongo, Hollywood dude. The public is not ready to watch Hollywood's perverted view of the Iraq war complete with anti-American and anti-military sentiments. Make an Iraq war movie that celebrates the heroism of our troops and the hard work they've done and you'll sell some movie tickets.
