"Stop-Loss" is the most recent Iraq War-related movie to go in the toilet, making about $4.5 million in it's opening weekend.
The movie had a budget of $25 million, so it looks like Paramount will be eating it, unless the overseas market saves it.
This movie was said to be better than the other Iraq War movies that flopped, as described in this blog before. Hollywood either isn't learning anything, or it's simply taking a while for this slate of Iraq War movies to go through the pipeline.
No one wants to see a movie that is a grim reminder of how terrible the war is, and the price that we as a nation have paid for that war, in terms of national treasure. If people want to see the war, they just turn on the news and get all the horror that they can stomach. Why would people want to pay to see it?
Disgusting.
