Stop-Loss (2008)
Stop-loss is just the lastest boxoffice loser. I read somewhere that a movie is considered a success if it doubles its budget. With $25 mil budget and making only $10 mil domestically and internationally, I think its safe to classify this one in the losers category.

It wasn't just this one, but the Phil Donahue movie about soldiers raping Iraqi women went no where also. Movies like Rendition tank also. If the anti-war movement is so big, why don't these movies (which one could categorize as propaganda) make waves?

Rendition at $25 mil world wide, I doubt it hit its budget!
