LaBeouf War Thriller Sets New (Bad) Record

First of all, I can’t stand spelling this fucker’s name — every time I have to consult Google.  That said, Shia LaBeouf’s new war thriller Man Down has set some sort of record, probably.  The wrong type too. Here is something from a Yahoo! UK article;

Man Down, a war thriller with Shia LaBeouf, grossed just £7 ($8.70) when it premiered in a single U.K. theater over the weekend, according to ComScore. That’s the equivalent of selling a single ticket, given that the U.K. Cinema Association puts the average movie admission cost in the country at £7.21.

“Poor Shia,” said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst at ComScore. “That opening could be in the Guinness World Records or something.”

The movie must be a real turd.  I can also say that I’m not sure I’d buy LaBeouf as a hard-bitten Marine, anymore than I buy Zach Galifianakis in his failed bid to become the new John Candy.
