I really don't understand this situation. An entity as large and powerful (and corrupt) as FIFA should have no problem boosting those ticket sales to at least the six-digit range just to save face. I mean it would still be a major commercial failure but why are they allowing the sub-$1,000 sales to go public?
It came out right after the FIFA corruption scandal. Many distributors dropped it, anticipating lack of demand (turns out they were right) - one theater reported a gross earning of $9, which means one person went to see it over the entire weekend.

FIFA was probably too busy (and under too much scrutiny) with the corruption issue to pay people off to go watch it!
