Pro-War On Terror Films Crush Anti-War On Terror Films At Box Office
2015-01-20
[BREITBART] Total gross for 18 anti-American movies that flopped at a stunning 100% rate: $300 million -- or a measly $16 million per.

Total gross for 4 pro-American movies: $400 million, and "American Sniper" is just getting started.

Yes, you read that right: 4 pro-American movies grossed $100 million more than 18 anti-American movies. And that number will probably climb another $150 million to $200 million before "American Sniper" is done.

#4  The Blog father has been saying for years that the Hollywood tax breaks need to be repealed.

The other thing about the anti-war movies are made for primary overseas distribution.

#3  Truth is the anti-war movies generally had low budgets. They were made because some A list celebrity wanted them made and the studio wanted that A list celebrity for another picture. The two are bundled together and bam.

Studios are whores for money and big budget tent-pole moves are where the money is made. The rest are just loss-leaders that allow you to prove your liberal cred on the cocktail circuit.

#2  Saw American Sniper in IMAX yesterday. Well worth the $. Awesome and humbling for the sacrifices our warriors make on the battlefield and at home to protect us

#1  Remove the tax write off for failed films (part of the Hollyweird welfare system), maybe they'll start talking to the box office rather than their fellow bubble travelers about what kind of movies to make. Take away advertizing write offs and watch how the entertainment industry implodes back to something relative to the overall society.
