Yes, the did flop. I recall getting a marketing call from the studio---a poll---"Would you go see a movie called 'Gettysburg'? As a historian, I said, "Well, is this about the battle or is it some sort of rom-com or drama?" They said, "We can't tell you." So I said, "Then I can't tell you." BTW, if you haven't read the amazing counterfactual trilogy by Newt Gingrich and Bill Forstchen, "Gettysburg," "Grant Turns East," and "Last Full Measure" they are phenomenal. Every bit as good as "Killer Angels," but obviously a twist as the South wins the initial Gettysburg battle.
I had heard the parable about the Wizard of Oz before
Really disappointed “Last Full
Measure”, the Third part of the Civil War Trilogy never made it to the screen.
My understanding was both Gettysburg and Gods and Generals flopped in theatres and Turner nixed it.
Personally Gettysburg ranks as one of my favorie movies ever and the soundtrack was just unbelievably good
