I think thought that First Look fucked things up a helluva lot, they have not the first clue what they are doing. Other than that I don't understand it, Dolph is in a much better position now than he was back in 2007.

I agree First Look has Fu$%^ it up, starting with the DVD cover which i've seen a guy holding a gun over a thousand times, to many people who sees a shitty DVD cover like that at Blockbuster isn't worth picking it up, because to many people it's another cheap action movie but not knowing what the plot is because the DVD cover doesn't indicate anything towards it, they could have done alot better, also i think alot of people downloaded CP from the internet instead of renting.

Moltisanti wrote:Both COMMAND and JOE are action movies. Whether JOE would appeal to audiences outside of the U.S. doesn't really matter for the sake of last week's video rental rankings since those figures are based on what was rented in the U.S.
it's not all that uber-patriotic for America since the JOE team is supposed to almost be a U.N. peacekeeper type force with soldiers from all over the globe. Not to mention the movie actually jumps around from one part of the world to another (France, Japan, North Pole, etc).
