The Whistleblower : Total gross $1,120,914 (USA)??

Sad.

This movie was probably too depressing (not to mention anti-American) for average movie-goer's taste. They'd rather discuss "The Avengers" or "the Dark Knight" .
Even the highest UN officials didn't care about what was going on. How can we expect average person to take interest? Sad

Good point - I guess its darker/more depressing than Boys Don't Cry

Anti-American?

It isn't, in any way.

For jingoist rednecks ANYTHING that shows the USA as less than perfect is "anti american".

Christianity's GREATEST ally and BEST friend throughout history is Satan

Please note the fact that on the opening weekend it was shown on a grand total of SEVEN (7) screens nationwide. Take a movie like Erin Brockovich which has a roughly similar theme (general ballpark) and that was shown on 2848 screens nationwide on opening weekend. I cannot help but feel that it was deliberately and intentionally suppressed. Think about it.

Strange that a film with an Oscar-winning lead (Rachel Weisz), supporting star power, (Academy Award-winning Vanessa Redgrave, Oscar nominee David Strathairn, and Monica Bellucci), a gripping topic, and critical acclaim (78% on Rotten Tomatoes). It also took 8 years to get the film off the ground as funding was difficult to raise. It only went through after Weisz signed on. The tiny box office earnings on such a film would almost have to be engineered.

Makes sense, this is a nation that voted in people who viciously prosecuted any whistleblowers. So I can see that this would not be popular.

The obummer administration would have put her in jail.
