Uma Thurman flops
Uma Thurman's new movie 'Motherhood' took in just R1056 on its UK debut weekend.
The actress - who stars as a harassed Manhattan mother-of-two in the comedy directed by Katherine Dieckmann - will be disappointed to hear her latest project was received so poorly.
The film's total takings for last Sunday were R108, which meant only one person paid to watch it on that day. It was screened for three days at London's Apollo Piccadilly Circus, the only cinema to show the film.
The movie was also a box-office flop in the US, with only R401 376 takings at 48 venues when it opened last October.
The 39-year-old star - who has two children, Maya (11) and Levon (7) from her first marriage to actor Ethan Hawke - previously spoke about how she found it easy to get into character for the role because she understood how hard it can be to define yourself once you have become a parent.
She said: "Well, her circumstances are different, but her concerns are the same as mine. Trying to be true to yourself as an individual and as a woman and be a loving mother and grow and find yourself - that's the kind of thing we all deal with. I thought that was really universal."
