Hands up: Who's seen the latest Shia LaBeouf movie Man Down? You know, the messy war drama that the New York Timescalled a "sadistic and ghoulish spectacle," that widely-panned release currently enjoying a 15 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes and 26/100 on Metacritic?
No one? Well, it did even worse in the UK.
SEE ALSO:I called up Shia LaBeouf to try and touch his soulOnly one person went to see Man Downwhen it opened last weekend in a single theatre, the Reel Cinema in Burnley, Varietyreports.
That single individual would have paid £7, or $8.70, according to ComScore, in what the company's senior media analyst deemed a potential Guinness World Record. Not exactly a budget-recouping success.
The single showing happened concurrently with its release on digital platforms where it presumably fared a little better. The film also reportedly made some $454,000 in the U.S., but you wouldn't know that from its sorry Wiki page Tuesday.

In December 2015, he invited people to touch his soul, just over a year ago he spent 24 hours in an elevator at Oxford University, and in January he started up a four-year anti-Trump live stream which resulted in his arrest, was taken over by alt-right trolls and eventually closed after a few weeks.
