Brendan Fraser's Sleeper Hit Buries One of the Greatest WWII Movies Ever at the Box Office




After a solid opening weekend at the domestic box office, during which it outperformed last year's Nuremberg, the new World War II drama-thriller film Pressurehas passed the lifetime haul of another beloved WWII movie. The appetite for a good historical war movie seems to vary depending on when it's released — for instance, these movies typically did better at the box office a couple of decades ago. But, in recent years, the audience for WWII content seems to have moved almost entirely to streaming. This past week was a major one for the genre, beginning with the History Channel documentary series World War II with Tom Hanks and ending with Pressure, which grossed more than $5.5 million in its first weekend.
