“We think White House Down is the summer’s best action movie,“ Rory Bruer, president of worldwide distribution for Sony Pictures. “[Seeing White House Down] is a great way to celebrate the holiday and to honor and thank the troops for their service to our country.”
This announcement follows a disappointing U.S. debut for the Channing Tatum/Jamie Foxx tentpole, which grossed just $24.8 million in its first weekend.
The movie, which follows an ambitious capitol policeman (Tatum) and the President of the United States (Foxx) as they fight for survival during a terrorist attack on the White House, is also dodging punches from some conservatives who are urging audiences to boycott the film due to what they claim is liberal bias.
