Liberal filmmaker Rob Reiner's 'Shock and Awe' disappoints at box office with dismal opening weekend | Fox News

Liberal filmmaker Rob Reiner’s Bush administration-bashing “Shock and Awe” was a disappointment during its debut weekend with an embarrassing box office intake.


“Shock and Awe” grossed only $41,000 on its opening weekend after being shown in only 100 theaters, according to Box Office Mojo. “Shock and Awe” finished No. 34 overall, behind numerous movies that have already been in theaters for several weeks, according to the service. Reiner’s film lost to other movies that were played in a limited number of theaters, including “Eighth Grade,” which was shown in only four theaters but managed to gross $252,284, according to the site.
The production budget for “Shock and Awe” is not publicly available, according to Box Office Mojo.

If there was an award for the most pathetic movie in history, this would probably win. Rob Reiner is an idiot, who thought his pathetic hate would make him hundreds of millions. He got what he deserved, and I hope it ruins him.
 
I really enjoyed watching Meathead's The Princess Bride, Spinal Tap, When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle, LBJ, and many of his other movies. Documentaries are rarely a box office draw. I kind of doubt he was expecting high returns for it.

Since when was it a documentary?
 
You actually give a **** about a movies box office turnout, even though you'll never watch it, simply because the film maker is a liberal?

JFC, get a life.
 
what's it about?

My mistake, an historical reenactment. Haven't seen it, but it doesn't matter. I'll watch it when it hits cable. Fair reviews from Rotten Tomatoes. Many great movies did poorly at the box office, Casablanca and Citizen Kane among them. Many crappy movies did well at the box office, they are still crappy.

BTW, Meathead, and I use the nickname affectionately, has a net worth estimated at about $60 mil, wasn't likely that concerned with renumeration. He and are both of an age where more money is irrelevant, tho we both keep our fingers in the pie. Nope, I'm not a liberal, nor a conservative, do don't bother playing the partisan label game.
