Another Iraq War Movie Bites the Dust: Hollywood Doesn't Seem to be Learning

"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.

Latest Iraq War Film Bombs at Box Office: More Proof That Hollywood Needs to Shift Gears

The latest Iraq War film, "Redacted", utterly bombed at the box office, taking in a paltry $25,628 across the country in it's opening weekend. It's a portent of things to come when (IF at this point) it goes into wide release.

It's more proof that Iraq War films are not appealing the the American viewing public, and that Hollywood needs to get out of Iraq War films until after the war is over. It joins "Lions for Lambs", "Rendition" and "In the Valley of Elah" in the trash can for box office performances.

Anti-war films at this juncture are boring, depressing and a waste of money for the studios.

Are the Hollywood elites getting it yet?
