HOLY MOSES! SCOTT’S EXODUS OPENS WITH JUST $24.5M

Although it topped the weekend box office, Ridley Scott’s critically drubbed Exodus: Gods and Kings earned only about $24.5 million, a baleful indication that the $140 million (estimated) movie, which stars Christian Bale as Moses, may need a miracle to save it from the fate of the golden calf. That miracle is likely to come from overseas, where the movie earned around $50 million.
