Actor Shia LaBeouf may want to consider doing his performance art racket full-time, because his most recent film Man Down grossed only £7 after selling a single ticket at one movie theater in the U.K. This also comes in unison with its release on digital platforms.
Released in 2016, Man Down has been a critical and financial failure, earning a 15 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a dismal performance in both ticket and digital sales. The Telegraph’s film critic Tim Robey described it as an "incoherent, deranged PTSD drama [that] is an insult to the intelligence."
IMDB bills the film's plot as follows: "In a post-apocalyptic America, former U.S. Marine Gabriel Drummer searches desperately for the whereabouts of his son, accompanied by his best friend and a survivor."
"To say that the new film throws its star under a bus wouldn’t be entirely fair: it’s more a case of the whole bus tipping off a cliff, with [director Dito] Montiel at the wheel, and screenwriter Adam G. Simon attempting some very ill-fated navigating duties," the Telegraph‘s Robey wrote. "The movie is fragmented enough from the word go, but plummets from such an insane height at the end that you want to rewind and hand everyone involved a personalized black-box recorder."
According to Variety, the film grossed a meager $454,490 in its US release. This definitely places Shia LaBeouf outside movie star status, although his screaming "He will not divide us!" into a webcam while looking like he wandered off the set of The Fisher King probably didn't help increase his star power.
LaBeouf’s life as a performance artist has also been given a major setback as well, with his "He Will Not Divide Us" exhibit now being rejected by every museum after severe trolling from 4channers turned it into a security risk.
