Hollywood is deeply saddened.

Wouldn’t the number of tickets sold be a better judge of the popularity of movies?

After all different theaters charge different prices and it would make the inflation issue moot.

Me and all the viewers came out of the theater yesterday screaming HOOAH!, running towards the nearest recruiter offices while waving American flags in one hand and a Bible in another, singing God Bless America in between spitting out tobacco juice. /s

How is Selma doing st the box office?

I heard it is racist to go see American Sniper instead of Selma.

I love it when, not just liberal Hollywood, but the whole left in general loses a battle in the culture war, including the LSM.

The culture war means so much to them because as a minority group, they are able to control so much of what happens in our culture today. Things like this expose them for the failed ideology they so crave for the rest of us and the hypocritical power and control they need to implement their failed ideology over us as a free society.

Instead of calling their movie Selma, perhaps a more appropriate title might have been A Fistful Of Rubles" or thereabouts...

My wife and I went to see the matinee this morning. The 10:30 showing was very well attended for a Sunday morning.My wife said the movie made her cry. The theater was very quiet as people filed out.

The movie, though, made me think of Kipling's "Arithmetic on the Frontier". In it, a hundred years ago, commenting upon the British attempt to control Afghanistan, he noted that the Muslims could replace one of their fighters for a tiny fraction of what it cost the Brits to replace one of theirs. Something to think about.

Does Mrs. Kyle get any of those earnings? Anyone have an idea of how much the Kyle family receives/received for American Sniper to make the big screen?

And, would probably be even more than 64M if shows were not sold out. Yesterday, went to theater and when got close to front of long line, announcement that show was sold out. Many on line said they were there to see American Sniper. Unfortunately, we all left. Will try on week day.

My son took his family to see the movie this week. He has a brother (my son also) who served in Kosovo & Iraq and is diagnosed PTSD. After the movie, my 15 yo grandson wrote his uncle a letter saying he better understood the battles he is facing here at home.

My Iraq Vet Son was brought to tears by the letter and all the sentiment it expressed. Then I learned that my daughter-in-law also felt moved to write. She had never known anyone in the Army personally, and the movie really opened her eyes. I am grateful for family that loves and supports one another through thick & thin.

My husband & I are unable to attend at the theatre but we will be watching as soon as it is available.

It appears as though “white guilt” fatigue has set in. The Rich Little White College Princesses are going to have to carry the white guilt banner by themselves from here on out.

The current numbers for “American Sniper” $200,137.00 USD = Domestic, $47,500,000.00 USD = Foreign.....Total Revenue World Wide = $247,637,000.00 USD!!!

The film is on a massive hot streak....across the world, even in the Middle East!!! Suspect the film will top $300,000,000.00 Worldwide by next weekend.
