It is a low budget movie ($10-$20 million production+marketing) and even with a limited release it will make money.

Theaters: Atlas Shrugged Movie - Theaters & Tickets

Hopefully some here will review the move after watching it.

Here's an example: Passion of the Christ.

What did the hollywood leftist elitists say about it? That it would fail. They refused to make the movie.

It was GLORIOUS watching them eat their arrogance as the money grossed hundreds of millions.
That movie suuuuuuuuuuuucked!

The Passion was pretty much torture porn. 2 hours of a guy getting tortured does not a good movie make, I don't care whose getting tortured. Of all the things to focus on they choose the most bloody.

I never understood that genre of films. I saw hostel one time, out of curiosity and thought it sucked. It caught my attention but I felt like I needed a shower after watching it.

Who specifically are you referring to? A strawman? Ebert gave it 4 stars. Movie companies want a sure thing -and will make a movie on any topic if the risk is low enough. An unhinged Mel Gibson came to them for money to direct a bloody film about the crucifixion. Their decision wasn't based on any leftist ideology but on right wing business pragmatism.

Well then don't watch a Serbian film. From what I've read it is literally the most depraved thing put to film.

No movie gets 0% on RT. It's a clear indication that the rating should be immediately dismissed.
