Author Topic: Shia LaBeouf's 'Man Down' Sells 3 Tickets In UK Release Jim Cassedy Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1661 From: San Francisco, CA Registered: Dec 2006 posted 04-06-2017 08:22 PM                     Shia LaBeouf's 'Man Down' Sells 3 Tickets In UK Release Shia LaBeouf's new film "Man Down" will end it's week-long run in the United Kingdom after extremely dismal sales. The film—which follows the actor as a U.S. soldier returning home from Afghanistan who is suffering from PTSD—sold one, single ticket during it's opening day in the U.K. In all fairness, it only opened in one theater (a branch of the Reel Cinema chain in the town of Burnley) and has only been shown once a day. Since then, it's garnered a 200-percent box-office leap as two more people bought tickets in the days to follow. Link To Story  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

Maybe Reel thought this movie would have some local interest?  |  IP: Logged Marcel Birgelen Film God Posts: 3357 From: Maastricht, Limburg, Netherlands Registered: Feb 2012 posted 04-10-2017 02:49 AM                     The first public showing was in September 2015 and no art house around here seemingly has picked it up. You might as well release it to Youtube by now...  |  IP: Logged
