Uma Thurman's new film seen by just one person on opening day

Uma Thurman’s latest film is set to be one of the biggest box office flops ever after just one ticket was sold for the movie on its opening day. Over its opening weekend at the beginning of March, only around a dozen people went to see Motherhood, a semi-autobiographical account of parenting in New York written and directed by Katherine Dieckmann.

The film took just £88 at the British box office on its opening weekend.
 
On its debut Sunday, takings at the box office were just £9 - the price of a ticket for one person.

Only one British cinema was given permission to launch the film earlier this month, with the film’s producers hoping that exclusivity would generate a buzz and lead to box office success by word of mouth. ...

Oh dear, that's a flop of epic proportions.  :-)

Now, had they put her in a skin-tight yellow outfit, and given her a Hattori Hanzo sword, and called it "Kill Bill III", it might have done a bit better.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

Not even Uma bought a ticket, apparently.

Wow.
