I was reading Drudge and clicked on one of his story/links regarding the latest box office results.

I was pleasantly surprised to see that the movie about the pervert and discredited so-called sex scholar, Kinsey, was fully bombing at the box office. “Kinsey” cost $11 million to produce; was released Nov. 12 and to date has only made $1 million. It is upside-down some $10 million.

Isn't "Alexander" bombing, as well?

It's too early to judge the bombasity of the movie. They release it for academy consideration at a few theatres in LA and NYC during the holiday season and hope it will survive until the oscars. Then a boost from a win and into the spring.

If it really tanks, it won't get wide/countrywide release and will disappear. My guess is that this will be it's fate. Then we will know it's truely a bomb.

It was initially released to 5 theaters, the following week to 36, and is now in 185. The per-theater box office is high. The distributors have been testing the waters to see how much interest there is in the film. It's not a bust yet, which is why Ebert may be talking it up
