Gee -- a 3 hour snoozefest didn't make it as #1? How horrible!!..
LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) -- 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 Friday.
Since opening Wednesday to get a jump-start on the 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.
Warner Bros. Pictures -- like CNN.com, a unit of Time Warner Inc. -- paid $35 million for North American rights from the film's producer, Intermedia Films, a unit of Munich-based IM Internationalmedia AG.
Nicolas Cage's action-adventure "National Treasure" was No. 1 for a second weekend with $33.1 million, followed by the animated superhero saga "The Incredibles" with $24.1 million. Both were distributed by Walt Disney Co., with the latter produced by Pixar Animation Studios Inc.
