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.

Some gems about the movie:

  • The next closest contenders for lowest-grossing film were 2012 vampire rock musical I Kissed a Vampire ($1,380) and 2013 animated adventure Last Flight of the Champion ($1,493).

  • Cannes president Thierry Fremaux revealed the movie was only screened at the film festival in May under pressure from (main actor Gerard) Depardieu.

  • Tim Roth, who played the role of Sepp Blatter, told reporters he only did the movie to dig himself out of debt, and acknowledged that his role will have his father "turning in his grave"

Last but not least...

- Fifa wanted to call the movie "Men of Legend" or "The Dream Makers". LOL
