Thurman’s Motherhood Bombs Badly With $132 U.k. Takings
By WENNSunday, March 28, 2010
UMA THURMAN’s new film MOTHERHOOD has epically flopped at the U.K. box office - the film only made $132 (£88) in its opening weekend (05/06Mar10).
Thurman plays a stressed mum who struggles to balance parenting and her career in the new movie - which only took $60,000 (£40,000) in the U.S. when it opened last year (09).
But the response to the film was even worse in Britain - where only one person went to watch the movie on Sunday 7 March (10), and the film only garnered an embarrassing $132 (£88) during the whole weekend.
And producer Jane 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 cp succeeds at the cinema. Motherhood is not bad. It’s a very decent movie. I’ve seen movies that are not half as good.”
