According to <a href=\"http:\/\/boxofficemojo.com\/movies\/?page=weekend&#038;id=conspirator.htm\">Box Office Mojo<\/a>, after four weeks the $25-million production has grossed about $9.8 million. In its second weekend, <em>The Conspirator<\/em> was showing in 849 theaters; that dropped to 460 theaters for its fourth week and a weekend gross of about $600,000.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the film&#8217;s website continues to grow as a resource for those interested in Civil War-era history and in the film itself. Check out <a href=\"http:\/\/www.conspiratorthemovie.com\/the_conspirator_redford_blog.php\">another Q&#038;A with the filmmakers<\/a> posted just last week on Robert Redford&#8217;s blog.
