‘Truth’ Bombs at the Box Office | Page Six

The truth hurts — “Truth” is a turkey.

After unenthusiastic reviews, the revisionist history of Dan Rather’s demise at CBS News had a weak opening weekend with a pathetic per-theater average of just $11,000.

Younger-skewing publications like Paste echoed many of the mixed reactions in pointing out that the film “feels phony, but doesn’t offer up any entertainment value in the place of the honesty it’s lacking.”

The movie — starring Robert Redford as Rather and Cate Blanchett as his longtime producer Mary Mapes — has grossed a paltry $66,000 in limited release. But its prospects are dim as it goes nationwide on Oct. 30, because “Truth” will have to compete with “Suffragette,” “Burnt” and a few other new features.
