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, united and/or kingdom:
“If I were to be taken hostage, I would not plead for release nor would I want my government to be blackmailed. I think certain government officials, industrialists and celebrated persons should make it clear they are prepared to be sacrificed if taken hostage. If that were done, what gain would there be for terrorists in taking hostages?”
—Margaret Mead (1901–1978)
“The United States is not a nation to which peace is a necessity.”
—Grover Cleveland (1837–1908)
“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls; on finding one pearl of great value, he went and sold all that he had and bought it.”
—Bible: New Testament, Matthew 13:45,46.
