Uma Thurman film about NY blogger draws dismal 88 in brief UK run
Uma Thurman
Uma Thurman’s latest film Motherhood took in a paltry $132 at the UK box office on its debut weekend.
Digital Spy reports the movie about a mother and Greenwich Village blogger preparing for her daughter’s sixth birthday party pulled in just $15 on Sunday in a three-day screening at London’s Apollo Piccadilly Circus. The website claimed one person only attended on the Sunday.
A Guardian-Observer review of the movie on Sunday would not have helped. The paper wrote: “Mayor Rudy Giuliani turfed the begging winos out of New York City, only for them to be replaced [so one infers from the films Julie & Julia and Motherhood] by blogging whiners.”
The movie, due to now go to DVD, did better in the US but was deemed a box office flop with its $50,000 takings at 48 venues last October, reaching a total of $98,900 when it wrapped up its theatrical run in November.
