Release in The United Kingdom
Soldier was one of a number of high profile Warner Bros. releases in the late nineties and mid-2000s to be released direct to video in the United Kingdom after underperforming at the box office Stateside. While the film shares this dubious honour with titles such as Chill Factor ($34 Million) and Bait ($51 million), at $60 million Soldier was for a number of years the most expensive film of all time to be relegated to a video-only release, up until the releases of 3000 Miles to Graceland in 2001 ($62 million) and Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever ($70 million) in 2002.

Famous quotes containing the words release in, release, united and/or kingdom:
“The near touch of death may be a release into life; if only it will break the egoistic will, and release that other flow.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“As nature requires whirlwinds and cyclones to release its excessive force in a violent revolt against its own existence, so the spirit requires a demonic human being from time to time whose excessive strength rebels against the community of thought and the monotony of morality ... only by looking at those beyond its limits does humanity come to know its own utmost limits.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
“What makes the United States government, on the whole, more tolerable—I mean for us lucky white men—is the fact that there is so much less of government with us.... But in Canada you are reminded of the government every day. It parades itself before you. It is not content to be the servant, but will be the master; and every day it goes out to the Plains of Abraham or to the Champs de Mars and exhibits itself and toots.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“A lifetime [or, eternity] is a child playing, playing checkers; the kingdom belongs to a child.”
—Heraclitus (c. 535–475 B.C.)
