"America doesn't want to deal with Iraq, period," Magruder said. "There's just apathy.

No, America doesn't want to pay to have anti-American propaganda inflicted on them.

They’ll still be rewarded with more than their fair share of Golden Globes and Academy Awards - leftists always do.

Its two-week gross was $11.5 million, low for a film that cost a reported $35 million to make.

I hope the idiot actors skipped the salary, and instead opted to take a percentage of the box office!

Magruder, a 24-year-old who is taking premed classes at California State University Northridge and is the Los Angeles chapter president of Iraq Veterans Against the War.

Ah, I see his disappointment.

Bingo...of course the idiot leftists just assume that the unwashed masses are too stupid and/or apathetic to support their movies bashing our troops and our nation. Until they catch a clue and leave a little of their arrogance behind they will continue to lose huge quantities of money making trash...or are they just trying to pull a "The Producers" scam?

“Lions” earned only slightly more last weekend than “Saw IV,” ..................... There is the answer, they have to make a gory slash and gash Iraq war movie showing the AQ Jihadists slicing off heads and blowing up children. Buckets of blood splashed all over and then they’ll get more viewers. (Ever notice that the horror movies always have torture scenes, but you never see them using panties over their victims heads.) Where are the John Fords of today? Where are the movies like Wake Island, Battan, Air Force, Flying Tigers, Guadacanal, Objective Burma and Gung Ho, that were made 3 generations ago. More important, why don’t we have Frank Capra and a “Why we Fight” series? The Hollywood left seems to want to produce films more like “Mission to Moscow”(circa 1942).

How did “Lions” do compared with “The Kingdom”?
I know The Kingdom was a good movie. Although it wasn’t an “Iraq War” movie, it has the War on Terror theme.

The public apathy Magruder has seen toward the Iraq conflict seems to be carrying over to the movie theater.

Spin, spin, spin. The public is mainly apathetic toward hate-America propaganda. A Saving Private Ryan-style film about the Battle of Fallujah would have a domestic gross in the hundreds of millions.
