Benedict Cumberbatch Can't Save WikiLeaks' Movie 'The Fifth Estate' From Bombing At Theaters

Disney and DreamWorks' WikiLeaks' movie "The Fifth Estate" bombed at the box office this weekend.

The film, which cost an estimated $28 million to make, barely made the top ten earning $1.7 million in ticket sales opening weekend.

Before the film's release, WikiLeaks leaked a script of the film and a long 4,000-word memo tearing apart the film.

None of this weekend's newcomers faired impressive. "Escape Plan" with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone brought in $9.8 million while the new "Carrie" film earned $17 million.

Of recent box-office bombs, the performance of "The Fifth Estate" was far below others.

"Machete Kills" debuted to $3.8 million last week, while Justin Timberlake and Ben Affleck's "Runner, Runner" made $7.7 million the first weekend of October.
