Shia LaBeouf’s latest film Man Down opened in the UK this past Friday, and according to THR, it managed to gross just £7 over the weekend, selling a single ticket in a cinema in Burnley.
The thriller – which received a limited theatrical release and also hit VOD the same day – is directed by Dito Montiel and sees LaBeouf’s U.S. Marine searching for his estranged wife and son in post-apocalyptic America. LaBeouf is joined in the cast by Kate Mara, Jai Courtney and Gary Oldman.
Man Down’s opening weekend echoes that of the Emma Watson / Daniel Bruhl film The Colony (a.k.a. Colonia), which earned just £47 during its opening weekend last year, , while the Al Pacino / Anthony Hopkins thriller Misconduct also pulled in just £97 last summer.
UPDATE: THR is now reporting that Man Down has sold a further two tickets, increasing its box office 200% to £21.
