Oliver Stone's 'W' Runs Out of Steam at Box Office

Nikke Finke, writing for Deadline Hollywood, says Oliver Stone's "W" is in freefall at the box office after only one week of release:

There's been tremdous interest by the public in the box office fate of Oliver Stone's W. its second weekend in release. Well, it ran out of steam. QED International/Lionsgate's Bush biopic sank 58% to No. 8 with $1.5 million Friday from 2,050 dates. The $30M negative cost film should end up with $23M domestic box office gross by the end of its run. That means, with a $25M P&A investment and Lionsgate's distribution fees, the film won't recoup its marketing costs.
