Uma Thurman's New Film Smashes Box Office Records

I don't understand what's going on in that article at all, none of the 'facts' seem to be linked to anything. Is this a regional article for a specific town/city or something?

Motherhood managed to gross £9 from the lone viewer who turned up on the debut Sunday.

The debut where? In which cinema? Was it only shown in one? I'm pretty sure that can't be the case.

Need more info or that's just sensationalism.
 
Ah, that will be it then.

Why though? Did they predict it would have such a bad reception? Has it had it's general release yet? I still don't get this.

It bombed in the US, so they probably only put it on as a taster to see if British audiences liked it better.
 
Was shown at the Apollo in Piccadilly Circus.

The film made just £88 on the weekend of Friday 5 March. On its debut Sunday, box office takings were £9, meaning one person bought a ticket.

The film, thought to have cost $5m to make, earned just over £40,000 when it opened in the US last October.



Could you imagine being the only person watching it. I wonder if they walked out. :D
 
That trailer was horrible. It's suppose to be a Comedy and Uma was the lead. Women are not funny naturally.

Opening Weekend
$50,081 (USA) (25 October 2009) (48 Screens)
£88 (UK) (7 March 2010) (1 Screen)
 
LOL, Uma Thurman.

*edit*

The reviews are funnier than the movie! :D

I wouldn’t care if she was at the epicentre of the movement for global peace: she’s a happily married mother who looks like Uma Thurman, and my reserves of sympathy are limited.

This whiny drivel makes me ashamed to be a woman.

Few vanity projects can be as ill-conceived as this laughless, goggingly slow Uma Thurman vehicle.

Motherhood is neither insight nor escapism. It’s a yummy-mummy newspaper column splurged onto celluloid, like baby sick on your best cashmere sweater.

Whiny and self-involved, Thurman's mother of two sees judgment around every corner and believes the universe has conspired against her because the bakery misspelled her daughter's name on a birthday cake.

The lesson, I guess, is that it really sucks being a mom, but it's also incredibly unrewarding.

Uma Thurman should go **** herself with a potato.

She's a boring, plain-looking woman who's been lucky to do as well as she has so far. This recent attempt is just pure desperation.
