The anti-teachers union, pro-charter movie
Won't Back Down had the
worst opening weekend since 1982 for a movie showing in more than 2,500 screens. The movie flopped despite being heavily promoted by right-wing organizations including the Heritage Foundation, FreedomWorks, StudentsFirst, the Heartland Institute, and the Chamber of Commerce. Anthony Cody argues that the movie's failure among critics suggests that people are
getting wise to the corporate deformers since the release of
Waiting for Superman.
