Just because it's only made $12 mil at the box office so far, and most of it was from less than 200 theaters until the past weekend, doesn't mean it'll be ignored. Remember how much The Hurt Locker made at the box office?

January 30, 2012 at 5:17PM EST Reply to CommentI wonder if Hollywood will ever get the message that most have stop going to the movies because the films are so bad. There are too many of the same actors playing some of their "same roles"..Then there are too many remakes and too many continuations such as the Harry Potter series...then there's the truly weak plots in all types of films (comedies, dramas, sci-fi, etc.)...And please tell when will writers and directors get it through their thick skulls that many races do not like to see history repeated especially when it's inaccurate!! It's becoming truly insulting!

Agree 100% with Jonnybon, War Horse wasn't deserving
