Asshole of the Day: Oliver Stone and “W”

American audiences just don’t share Hollywood’s vicious hatred for the US and those who defend our freedoms, apparently.
Nikki Finke reports on the latest egg laid by Hollywood:
There’s been tremendous interest by the public in the box office fate of Oliver Stone’s W. for its second weekend in release. Well, it ran out of steam. QED International/Lionsgate’s Bush biopic sank 58% to No. 7 with a $5.3M weekend from 2,050 dates and new cume of $18.7M. The $30M negative cost film should end up with $23M domestic box office gross by the end of its North American run. That means, with a $25M P&A investment and Lionsgate’s distribution fees, the film won’t recoup.
