News Summary

• "Warrior" underperformed at the box office, grossing under $14 million domestic and $23 million worldwide, against a $25 million budget.
• Gavin O'Connor wrote the part of Paddy specifically for Nick Nolte (Nolte was originally cast in "Pride and Glory" but had to drop out) The arc of 'Warrior' is Tommy and Brendan mending their shared estrangement by hitting each other head-on, but they don't shoulder the emotional weight of the film alone.
