'Alexander' Fails to Conquer U.S. Box Office
Conquering much of the world was a piece of cake for Alexander the
Great. Conquering the North American box office is another
thing.
"Alexander," director Oliver Stone's three-hour epic starring
Irishman Colin Farrell as the youthful Macedonian warrior, opened
at No. 6 with ticket sales of just $13.5 million for the three days
beginning on Friday.
Since opening on Wednesday to get a jump-start on the U.S.
Thanksgiving holiday, the film has earned $21.6 million. The
independently financed film, a dream project of Stone's for 15
years, reportedly cost more than $150 million to make.
