Critical opinion of the movie was mixed, and it ended with about what it cost to make -- $25 million. Director Sylvain White told MTV that he purposefully left the door open for a potential sequel. Even so, The Losers has a lot of ground to make up on the home media side of things if audiences are to expect more Losers movies.

For people who think the unruly fans of Philadelphia – a tyke drinking a beer, anyone? – should automatically disqualify its teams from winning championships: Chicago Blackhawks 2010 Stanley Cup Champions

For a city that celebrated a ridiculous number of NBA championships in the ‘90s, followed by a World Series title in 2005, it seems silly (and greedy) to say that Chicago just a month or so ago was itching for its next champion. Yet given the state of the miserable, Lebron-less Bulls, and the fact that half the city is incapable of rooting for the Black Sox because they’re Cubs fans, Chicagoans had an obvious hankering for a championship when the Blackhawks reached the NHL finals against Philadelphia’s Broad Street Bullies.

I had the fortune of moving to Chicago by the time the series came ‘round, and let me tell you first hand that Blackhawk fans were hungry. The franchise hadn’t won a championship since the early ‘60s, and prior to this season hadn’t even tasted a division title since 1993. Players (and fans) grew beards for camaraderie, and one of the city’s most popular publications kept a daily log of the facial hair.

The night the Hawks clinched Lord Stanley’s cup, organized chaos flooded the streets. Sure, policemen on horseback patrolled certain areas, but fans were mostly orderly. Besides broken bottles of beer on the streets, the worst I saw was… people honking their horns. Because it’s, you know, Chicago! And not, you know, the city where obnoxious teens literally regurgitate on young girls.
