Billionare Mark Cuban, who financed this movie, has No Comment over the public's reception to this Brian DePlama epic.

Looks to me like Cuban is hoping this movie will take off when it’s released on DVD. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
The Three Stooges did better than that. And they were much more watchable.
The film is aimed at anti-war nuts, who can’t afford the price of a ticket.
The Three Stooges were awesome!
In contrast to DePalma, who sucks.
Does anyone know how much this wretched piece of garbage cost to make?
Schadenfreude, baby!
All he needs is for Harvard educated Magnum Cum Laude’s such as Penn, Streisand, Huffington, and Baldwin(you know, these people whom are not ‘doctors’ but play one on TV) to give the movie ‘credibility’ and then he will be set for life.
:-)
A failure greater than Ishtar. Bwahaha!
whoever it was that was in charge of distribution have delivered the flim flam themselves. its been shown in 15 theaters for an average of approx. 1,700 clamshells per theater during its opening week.
in contrast, Love in the Time of Cholera, which was released during the same week, was shown in 852 theaters and pulled in an opening week average of approx. 2,250 clamshells per theater.
Your title is great. However, I think it could be improved with the addition of the word ‘just’ right in front of the dollar sum.
And let us tell the whole story on the numbers, too. Anti-Americans flocked to the theatres to make up for the poor showing of Americans at the theaters at home. Here, then, is the more accurate picture:
Domestic: $62,786 30.9%
Foreign: $140,609 69.1%
Worldwide: $203,395
How does Gigli compare?
related to its production cost, I’m sure it is.
It has to be in the running. A gross this low beggars belief.

Intelligence operatives report that waterboarding during interrogation should be replaced by forced viewing of this movie. Apparently, it’s more effective and works quicker. People will do and say anything to make the torture stop.
I’m sure Mark would love to hear comments on his movie. I hear he reads every piece of email sent to him, and responds often.

Read the comments on the IMDB. Truth really is the first casualty. But not the way DePalma thinks it is.
That’s gotta hurt.
A well done movie depicting our troops as the heroes, that almost all of them are, would probably get $62,000,000 the first 3 days.
Europe will show stronger sales later, but, more importantly, the point has been made in the US. What point? FU DePalma. Move to Europe and buy a soccer team. That point.
Why was the movie only shown on a maximum of 15 theaters?
