Shia LeBeouf’s Latest Movie Sells One Ticket In U.K.
Sometimes a motion picture isn’t a person’s cup of tea. Judging by the current British box office results (HELLO BEAN 5: THE DREAM CHILD), the latest Shia LeBeouf film was only one person’s cup of tea in all of the United Kingdom.
Man Down, a war drama starring LeBeouf and directed by A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints filmmaker Dito Montiel, managed to earn an anti-miraculous £7 (a shade under $9 U.S.) in the U.K. According to the film insiders we spoke to, films are traditionally expected to sell upwards of multiple tickets, so this must be a bit of disappointment.
In LeBeouf’s defense, the box office total is a little bit misleading. For one, The Guardian notes that the film only played at the Reel Cinema in Burnley. Not quite a Fate of the Furious level release, now is it? Also, Man Down made its debut ages ago. (Well, ages ago in movie terms, the film premiered in 2015.) The buzz attached to the film was not a good buzz. More like the buzz of insects around dog doo. LeBeouf’s performance got alright enough reviews, but the movie was panned at large by critics.
Man Down was definitely a flop, but it’s not like this movie was built to be a mega blockbuster, especially in the UK market. For cast members like Jai Courtney, Kate Mara and Gary Oldman they got a paycheque out of the deal and LeBeouf is doing a lot of different projects and seems happy to take risks. If someone’s going to wear the £7 box office crown, Shia LeBeouf is likely to have more fun with it.

Shia LaBeouf film Man Down makes £7 in opening weekend
Shia LaBeouf's latest film hasn't exactly set the UK box office on fire.
War movie Man Down, which also stars Gary Oldman, Jai Courtney and Kate Mara, made £7 on its opening weekend.
Or - to put it another way - the film sold one adult ticket.
To put that into perspective, Beauty and the Beast took a further £6.75m over the weekend.
Why so low? Well, to be fair, it did only open in one place: the Reel Cinema in Burnley.
The screening was held to coincide with the film's simultaneous release on digital platforms.
The cinema has since told the BBC it has sold a further four tickets - including two on Wednesday.
And while the popularity of the film has not gone through the roof, the staff member said there had been quite a few calls from the media.
The film's appearance in just one cinema is likely to have been done to secure reviews in the media.
But Man Down has not fared well with the critics. The Daily Telegraph says Man Down is a bomb site of a film and gave it one star, while The Guardian's two-star review calls it irredeemable.
The i is slightly more favourable, giving the film three stars. It is impossible to fault Shia LaBeouf's commitment to the lead role of an ex-marine who has post-traumatic stress disorder, its writer says.
Other films released last weekend that only opened at one cinema include Guru, which grossed £17, and horror film The Void, which grossed £1,163, according to figures from the British Film Institute.
And last year, Beauty and the Beast and Harry Potter actress Emma Watson's film Colonia, also known as The Colony, made just £47 over its opening weekend in the UK.
But we still have an unanswered question: who was the one LaBeouf fan who bought that ticket?
If you want to catch it on the big screen there's just one screening in Burnley left - tomorrow at 12:20 BST.
There are only 78 seats left though, so you had better be quick.

Time To Remember - Came The Dawn 1925 Reel 4 (1920-1929)
Pathe have rights to clips in Time to Remember programmes but not to commentary or whole programme as screened.
Commentary record exists. Enter Came the Dawn Commentary into Title box to find.
Check copyright for film extracts - most were originally A.B.P.C. Elstree (Associated British Picture Corporation) - probably currently Canal Plus copyright (1999).
Reel 4. 01:21:02 Actuality footage of a man being arrested and escorted along a country lane by a policeman in Ireland is followed by scenes from the film The Informer (1929) - a film about the troubles. Basil Rathbone speaks of the influence of German Expressionism on British film-making. Director Arthur Robinson (?) is seen on set (I think). A fierce shootout is seen plus dramatic scenes as Lars Hansen (sp?) admits to being an informer. His girl acts great sadness and shock - it is the German actress Lya da Putti (sp?). Scene of great sorrow as the informer visit a bereaved mother. He accidentally drops the money which proves his guilt. The dying Nolan is seen in church, seeking forgiveness for his crime, he falls to the ground - dead.
01:22:56 Over what looks like actuality footage of troops in Ireland, Basil Rathbone calls The Informer a movie in which something of the reality, something of the tragic poetry of the strife torn Emerald Isle found its way onto the screen.
01:23:08 Scenes from Shooting Stars of 1928 - film-making within a film. We see the director character explaining to his cast the effect he wants to achieve. We then see some scenes where a husband discovers his wife with her lover. Annette Benson, Brian Aherne, Donald Calthrop, Wally Patch and Chili Bouchier are the stars of the film. Clips from this particular film have been used throughout this compilation piece.
01:24:17 John Logie Baird is seen making tests of his television transmitting equipment. C/Us of various parts of the equipment. Basil Rathbone's commentary is an ironic discussion of the effect television was to have on the cinema. He sarcastically states: such a device could never have the slightest effect on the motion picture trade, oh not a chance!
01:24:47 Night shots of a busy London street and of toffs at a coffee stall, rather drunk wearing top hats. A fancy dress party. Basil asks the rhetorical question: Did the movies provide escape for them, or merely mirror them? In retrospect is it possible to distinguish between the fact and the film?
01:25:11 Sequence from Piccadilly (1929) starring Anna May Wong and Charles Laughton. Anna May Wong performs a fabulous Chinese dance. Charles Laughton sits at a table beside the dance floor eating his dinner.
01:25:49 Sequence of bright young things footage - various nightclub scenes - cabaret performers, dancers and slapstick nightclub scenes from A Little Bit of Fluff (1928).
01:26:36 Credits: Written and Produced by Peter Baylis. Associate Producer - Lionel Hoare. Film research from the Associated British-Pathe Library - Harry Wynder and Charles Chart. Recorded by George Newberry. Executive Producer - Terry Ashwood. Ends: 01:27:19
Note: Scenes showing film-making are probably all from Shooting Stars - therefore cameramen and film technicians are actors rather than real practitioners. Documentation file exists which includes shotlist and commentary transcript. See also commentary transcribed from soundtrack by entering Came the Dawn Commentary - transcript in documentation file is slightly different. End of Reel 4 - N.B. These reel numbers relate to NEG reels - Pathe's prints have been combined into 2 reels.
