Too bad so many good actors had to go down with that one.

This is great news for Pluto Nash and other massive bombs, they've all been bumped one rung higher.

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?

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

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.

This just confirms what everyone knows already. We Americans just don't care about soccer (or football for you non 'Murican types).

That and everyone hates FIFA

I guess the other big problem is that the foundation of FIFA sounds like an incredibly boring subject for a movie.

Here's what I assume the story is. There's a bunch of boring European dudes with suits and bad hair. They run various soccer leagues. They have a meeting. Someone suggests that they should have more meetings. They agree. In a series of further meetings, a framework for a future organisation which will continue to meet regularly is established. The movie culiminates in a bunch of dudes having a meeting.

Woo fricking hoo.

Don't worry, I'm sure it'll do well with VHS sales.
