One of the financial backers for this movie was the United Arab Emirates--a big oil exporting nation.
Spread the word to any friends and family who still see movies.
$4.3 million for a weekend box office. Pathetic. Or, is this what a boycott looks like?

Pretty poor story - author made it appear as though people had no interest in seeing the story because they had no interest in ´fracking´. I´m thinking that enough people knew it was an attempt to make fracking look bad or dangerous and, knowing how much it could do for our ailing economy, simply weren´t willing to pay for yet another dose of liberal propaganda.

It was curiously promoted. The TV spots were so vague. The filmed seemed to lack a plot because they tip toed around the fact it was an anti-fracking propaganda picture.

Matt is learning that insulting half the nation while the other half is too busy spending welfare money at the strip joint and not at his stupid movies will always bite you in the butt.
Never go to a Penn, Clooney, Damon movie ever. Have you ever noticed how Tom Cruise does not bite the hand that feeds him, aside from the scientology thing. At least his movies are somewhat entertaining.

Guess they should have made it 3D and somewhat believible more like the Texas movie.

"It was curiously promoted. The TV spots were so vague."

The spots include a quick clip of what appears to be a grade school science project -- a model of a small town bursts into flames.

Of course the spots can´t be honest about the subject because the subject requires too much dishonest setup to be swallowed by the dupes. This tripe must be marketed with warmth, humor and good intentions.

It´ll still win awards among the Hollyweird crowd. They should have marketed it as a "docucrap" - the Left those.

...high school dropouts can`t afford to go to the movies.

The highly intelligent message movie of the much better than the rest of us intellectual elitist west coast private jet flying limo riding christian hating over paid weenie class is beaten by a CG laden remake of an epically bad, actually certifiably awful, 70´s b-movie.

You can´t make this stuff up.

Of course the left has spent the entire time since the original Chainsaw was made creating the dumbed down voter class they need to get elected so why should they even be surprised?

We have been using this technology for over 50 years. They can point to almost no incidents of invasion into fresh water aquifers caused by fracing. Perhaps none. This is another one of those "they think" kind of movies. It has little or no basis in reality. Science will win again. Politicians shall ignore silly things like scientific fact.

Hey, Matt Damon, how do you like them apples?

Matt Damon...just another pretty face. Although, he did lose the United Arab Emirate´s money so then again maybe not THAT stupid.

The Texas chainsaw murderer could be the poster child for the Tea Party.

Ooops - - no, wait! I´m on the wrong thread!

Memo to Matty: You aren´t as smart as you think.

Hasn´t Matt gotten the memo? If you want to draw a liberal audience to your propaganda movie you´d better have lot´s of attractive naked women and exploding stuff to draw them in.

The preview I saw for it made it look like a Matt Damon love story movie.

Who wants to see that?!?!?

The only good Matt Damon movies have him shooting lots of bad guys with guns. All sorts of guns. Bam, bam, bam. Blood and gore galore.

When will idiot lie-berals learn that even other braindead lie-berals don´t want to see their idiotic illogical propoganda movies?!?!?!?

Another pretty face? Not hardly. Give me Mark Harmon any day.

good

Their next target will be a Pixar version for the kidlets.. In the meantime , Promised Land will be shown in schools and universities across the fruited plain.

Go see "Jack Reacher" instead -- it was entertaining, and Tom Cruise doesn´t insult and patronize the people who buy tickets to his films. The media have hated him ever since he enthusiastically proclaimed his true and deep love for his wife on Oprah´s program -- he has neve bought into the current ironic post-modern culture and the MSM hates him for it.

I am in favor of any method of providing energy to the U.S. as long as sane enviromental standards are used. Oil rigs can be messy but that is what you get when you drill. Solar power and wind power are still decades away from being a viable source for energy. One interesting fact to me though is the number of small earthquakes that North Texas and Oklahoma are having now. I do not know if they are a small by-product of fracking but they did not occur that much until fracking increased. My great-grandfather moved from Alabama to Northeast Texas in 1880. He was a merchant. He moved to the only county in Northeast Texas that had no oil. If he had moved 70 miles more to the south and had been farmers, they would have probably been on top of an ocean of oil. That is why I snack on peanut butter instead of pate de foix gras.
