W Fading Fast

I was wondering if the new Oliver Stone movie, W. would share the same fate as Lions for Lambs, Redacted and other anti-war, anti-right films. As it turns out, happily, yes:

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. 8 with $1.5 million Friday from 2,050 dates for what will probably be a $5.2M weekend. 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. -From Nikki Finke's Deadline Daily

In fact, Stone hasn't had a hit, I believe, since World Trade Center. Why was that? Because it showed the heroes of 9/11 in positive light, like it should have. You see, when you make a film based on FACTS, it does well, when you make crap up, it tanks.

This makes me wonder:
Does Hollywood have the guts to make a movie about Barack Obama and his cocaine days and Chicago Machine politics or Bill Clinton's womanizing and the "Clinton Body Count" thrown in?
Ah, no.
