Stop-Loss B.O. Prospects Dim… And So's THR's Analysis By Dirty Harry The Hollywood Reporter doesn't quite get it right – because it doesn't quite want to: "Paramount's Iraq War drama "Stop-Loss" will play in fewer than half as many venues as "21? and "Superhero" as prospects for the film appear grim. … Amid such low expectations, a debut of $4 million or more would be cause for joy at Paramount. Executives have done extensive research among prospective moviegoers about their attitude toward war films and subsequently are reining in even best-case scenarios accordingly. … Simply put, the American public has gotten no more interested in the Iraq War during the past year. So it's no more likely to support this movie about the military mission than any of the other previous boxoffice flops on the subject." What I think The Hollywood Reporter meant to say was that the American public has gotten no more interested in seeing our country and troops defamed by a bunch of ungrateful, multi-millionaires. The single film about the War on Terror that can be called a hit, albeit a moderate one, is a pro-American actioner called Vantage Point that portrays our President and country in a positive light, and the enemy for who they really are. In all the talk about all the flops no one wants to talk about the one outlier in the equation. Hmm…? Wonder why? libertyfilmfestival.com
