Over the course of about 5 years between 2004 – 2009, Hollywood produced no fewer than 18 anti-War On Terror box office bombs that defamed our country, our troops, and the righteous cause of the war against Islamic extremism. Every single one of those films bombed. The flop rate was 100%. Even Leftists stayed away in droves.
Let me pass along some settled science…
The domestic box office gross for all 18 of those films was around $300 million — or a pathetic $16 million each. My guess is that Hollywood lost somewhere around a billion — with “B” — dollars producing those box office bombs, that were designed specifically to undermine our warriors and to encourage the savage terrorists determined to kill them (and innocent Arabs and Muslims).
“American Sniper,” a single patriotic pro-troop film that portrays the war against those same terrorist barbarians as righteous, will out-gross all 18 of those anti-War On Terror films combined.
That’s science.
That’s math.
That’s a fact.
In just 10 days of wide release, director Clint Eastwood’s masterpiece has already grossed $200 million. Box Office Mojo now predicts “Sniper” will easily pass the $350 million mark and could possibly gross $400 million.
Here is some more math:
“Sniper” cost just $60 million to produce.
Those 18 pieces of pro-terrorist propaganda easily cost more than a billion dollars to produce.
Just think of how much more money Hollywood and its stockholders would have today if that provincial, bigoted left-wing town wasn’t packed with people who hate America. Or if those same morally illiterate simpletons believed in math and profit.
So far, on top of “American Sniper,” there have been 3 other films that depict the War On Terror as a righteous cause: “Lone Survivor,” “Act of Valor,” and “Zero Dark Thirty.”

Ha, very interesting. I guess it’s true, living well is the best revenge.
Thank you Mr. Clint, you’re a great American in your own right.
I thought Act of Valor was quite good...really good! OTOH 0 Dark 30 was boring to the max. Am Sniper was right up there w/ Act of Valor.
Great movie. Saw it this weekend. Reasonably close to the book, with some toning down for political correctness, and amping up for Hollywood.
I saw it this weekend. I highly recommend seeing it but don’t go with anyone you dont want to see you cry.
Anybody have some names of the 18 so i can avoid them?
I sure wish he would have used a term different than "out-gross"... ;')
Our wounded warriors should get a percentage.

George Clooney must have been in about half of them. The other half either featured Matt Damon or Ben Affleck.
This is not surprising.
Many studies have been made over the years that shows Hollywood’s agenda is to LOSE money.
Their highest grossing money making movies are rated PG and PG-13.
Yet what do they spend most of their money on? R-rated films designed to shock, insult and gross out most viewers.
Hollywood has an agenda and they don’t care what it takes or how much it costs to promote their sick and perverted world views.
One of my favorite WOT movies is Kingdom. The last 20 minutes or so of that movie are really intense.
1. American Sniper $64,365,000

8. Selma $5,500,000

I am amused that the movie has generated political controversy from the usual suspects. IMHO, it is not a political movie. It honors the sacrifices and hard work that we ask of our brave and patriotic soldiers. I guess that’s what makes it political to some.
The most successful ground campaign in military history was distilled into klooney being a con man.
It costs a LOT to maintain the official propaganda line, you know.
Making these money-pits is just Hollywood’s way of paying homage to the Liberal Democrat oligarchy that keeps a stranglehold on true creativity. And they get to write off their “losses” as corporate welfare, a large but mostly not identified recipient of this government favoritism.
Ticket prices now are double and in some cases triple what they were when many of the movies being compared to American Sniper were released.
