Why Vin Diesel’s Forgotten War Movie Only Screened in 5 Theaters Globally

Vin Diesel has appeared in other war films besides the Fast & Furious series. Between Furious 7 and The Fate of the Furious, he starred in Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk, which was adapted from Ben Fountain’s novel. Unlike Saving Private Ryan, the movie wasn’t successful at the box office – it actually earned less than its $40 million production cost. This was largely due to its limited release; it was shown in only five theaters worldwide. The reason for this limited release was technical.
