Which must-see war movies bombed in theaters?
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT There are plenty of great war movies that bombed at the box office, and they serve as time capsules of the eras in which they were released. It's not uncommon for war and anti-war films to be initially misunderstood by audiences, only to be later reassessed as criminally underrated. These movies aren't perfect, but they also definitely didn't deserve to fail as hard as they did at the global box office.
7 G.I. Jane The reason why G.I. Jane 2 never happened is that the original movie grossed just $48 million against a $50 million budget. It's a pity because G.I. Jane is one of the best movies starring Demi Moore, who plays the first woman to pass the 37-week U.S. Navy SEAL training course. At Moore's insistence, the cast of G.I Jane — including Viggo Mortensen — even underwent real SEAL training in order to portray the experiences of the Navy's special ops recruits accurately.
4 Windtalkers One of the most underrated Nicolas Cage movies, Windtalkers bagged just $77 million at the box office against a $115 million budget. It was heavily criticized for its inaccurate portrayal of war and for not doing justice to the real story of the Navajo code talkers of World War II. However, despite its imperfections, Windtalkers is also the only war movie that actually depicts the Marine Corps' Navajo Code Talker Program from the '40s.
