The latest attempt by Hollywood to gather sympathy for fellow liberals while attacking the Bush administration has fallen flat at the box office.
This time it is the movie “Fair Game” which tells the tale of former diplomat Joe Wilson and his wife Valerie Plame who was outed as a CIA agent and rehashes Wilson’s accusations that President Bush misrepresented intelligence reports on Iran’s quest for uranium to manufacture nuclear weapons to bolster his case for going after Saddam Hussein.
Well after nearly a month after being released the movie has flopped at the box office earning $6.2 million domestically and $12.2 million overall for a movie which cost $22 million to produce.
With results like these it makes me wonder where all the liberals that should have supported this movie were?
The producers will be hard pressed to recoup their investment as the once robust dvd market has tanked and the public’s appetite for movies like this has also waned considerably. Instead of the cant miss movie with bombshell Naomi Watts in the lead role the movie just plain bombed.
