Uma Thurman film is mother of all flops

IT could go down in British cinema history as the great Easter turkey. A film about a stressed-out mother, featuring the Hollywood superstar Uma Thurman, has been withdrawn from show after just 11 cinema goers turned up to see it in its opening weekend.

Motherhood managed to gross 9 from the lone viewer who turned up on the debut Sunday. Takings for the full weekend hit 88.

The figures mean the film outflopped even its dismal performance in America, where it took just over 40,000 when it opened last September.

Kill Bill 2, by contrast, one of Thurman’s greatest hits, made 14.2m in America on its opening weekend in 2004.

Ouch!
