Melbourne: Uma Thurman`s new flick has become the mother of all flops after just 11 cinema goers turned up to see it in its opening weekend in the UK.
According to a news daily, `Motherhood` took a paltry 150 dollars in its opening weekend. Earlier this month, the producers had limited the film`s release to just one cinema in London`s West End in the hope they could create a positive word of mouth campaign. However, the tactic backfired and has caused a rift between the producers and the film`s marketers in Britain. The movie tells the story of a stressed-out New York mother, played by Thurman. The film`s producer, Jana Edelbaum, had no idea the film`s takings were so bad in the UK. "You`re kidding? Think how much crap succeeds at the cinema," a news website quoted her as saying. Edelbaum said that she was dreading telling the film`s director, Katherine Dieckmann, about the takings, saying the project was a labour of love for her. "I`m a producer; I`ve got a thick skin but, well, she`s a creative," she said. ANI
