The World Football Governing Body FIFA-financed movie “United Passions”
made only about $607 (£397) during its US
debut over the weekend.
This is coming at a time FIFA battles a
corruption scandal.
According to Digital Spy, “United Passions
was almost completely funded by the
Fédération Internationale de Football
Association, and tells the story of its
history.
“The film includes a highly favourable
portrayal from Tim Roth of Sepp Blatter,
the FIFA boss who announced his
resignation last week amid corruption
allegations.
“United Passions boasted an expensive $30
million budget, but The Hollywood
Reporter cites Rentrak in finding that it
had little intrigue for US residents.
“United Passions mustered just over $600
in the ten screens it debuted on this past
weekend, with Phoenix’s FilmBar reporting
that just one ticket was sold for the film.”
