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.

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.
