"Green Zone" had a $100 million budget (plus whatever marketing and distribution costs it accrued), made only $14 million in its first weekend. It will probably make roughly double that in its international debut, so it's got some ground to make-up if it's not going to be a total loser for the studio, GE (NBCUniversal). Frankly, it couldn't happen to a better company.

Most Americans are not going to pay to see something in the theater they can see free on the news. Also, we get enough anti American tripe on tv without having to go pay $20 for a pair of tickets to watch it again.

Good riddance.

[FlingWingFlyer]

IMHO, only a total idiot would actually pay to watch anti-American propaganda.

How sweet it is.

With the way Hollywood works, Matt Damon will appear in the sequel called “Bush's Fault”.

[Dallas59]

Bush’s fault!

Instead of Green Zone, they should have done a remake of Soylent Green. Either that or Logan’s Run.

Everything is a remake these days, so it would be competitive.

And prepared us for the coming passage (unwritten, no votes needed) of the National TAXING for HEALTH CARE bill.

“Rocco noted “Green Zone” did better than most other entries in the Iraq war genre, including Oscar best picture winner “The Hurt Locker,” which has earned about $16 million since June.”

Only in Hollywood can they think that they sucked a little less.

I was going to see thje Green Zone until I heard it has an anti-American message. I hear that crap all the time. I don’t go to the movies to hear it again.

[Dr. Ursus]

Damon’s HGH use maybe clouding his judgement?

[FlJoePa]

Did I read that Damon is to be cast in a remake of True Grit? In what role I wonder? Mattie maybe?....Nah - Matie was much tougher than Matt Damon.

So the left continues to pump out those anti-American, anti-war pieces of PC tripe and it’s costing our Marxist friends a TON!!!! The BEST PICTURE of 2009 was a disaster at the box??!! Those stupid, ignorant Americans...they just don’t know what’s GOOD!!!

[citizencon]

No doubt Damon played his role with all his heart and conviction.

Iraq war conspiracy thriller “Green Zone” was one of the year’s first big flops.

---

“Green Zone” is like charging a viewing fee to watch a typical MSNBC show of Keith Olbermann or Ed Schultz or Rachael Madcow.

[Chode]

and the RATS, take another one in the..............................HA ha!!!

[Cedar]

Matt Damon made some unpopular comments a few months ago, didn’t he? Probably hurt his appeal at the box office. With the film’s liberal viewpoint also, no wonder it flopped.

[jakerobins]

Will their be anyone crazy enough or ugly enough to play Cindy Sheehan?? in the sequal???
