ACTION MOVIE STARS
In 2 weeks of release, Bruce Willis' Hart's War grossed $15 million, way less than teen movie Crossroads which grossed $26 million. After 3 weeks, Arnold Schwarzenegger's Collateral Damage grossed around $35 million, merely equal to what kid movie Big Fat Liar did.
Anyone could see that these muscle, superhero actors have passed their prime, and the audience is tired of the nonsense, cartoonish shoot-'em-ups. While Jean-Claude Van Damme, Dolph Lungren, and Steven Seagal realized this fact by sending their latest flicks directly to video stores, and while Sylvester Stallone and Chuck Norris do not even bother to make movies any more, Willis and Schwarzenegger still painfully crank out movies which barely entertain the crowd nowadays.
