Movie bomb! Earns $132 in a weekend.

Just saw this and couldn't believe it.....

Thurman's 'Motherhood' is $132 bomb in U.K.

March 29, 2010, 1:34 PM EST
WENN -- Uma Thurman's new film "Motherhood" has epically flopped at the U.K. box office: The film only made $132 in its opening weekend.

Thurman plays a stressed mom who struggles to balance parenting and her career in the new movie, which only took in $60,000 in the United States when it opened last year.

But the response to the film was even worse in Britain, where only one person went to watch the movie on March 7, and the film only garnered an embarrassing $132 during the whole weekend.

And producer Jana Edelbaum can't understand why the movie has bombed so badly, telling Britain's The Guardian, "You're kidding? We must have broken a new record for grosses!

"Think about how much crap succeeds at the cinema. 'Motherhood' is not bad. It's a very decent movie. I've seen movies that are not half as good."


I love that on one day only one person went! Just guessing from the total amount of money that it was 11 total people at $12 each.

Just looked on IMDB. It's got Uma, Anthony Edwards, and Minnie Driver. Cost around $5-million to make.

Uma should stick to killing Bill.
