Bringing in just $607 (£397) in its opening weekend, Frédéric Auburtin's film, 'United Passion,' which was funded by the football governing body, has kicked off on a bad start.
FIFA's multi-million dollar biopic flops at box office
One year after its Cannes Film Festival premiere, FIFA's multi-million dollar biopic, 'United Passions,' has failed to do well at the box office.
Completed before the corruption charges scandal rocked 14 of FIFA officials, the movie which is about the history of the international soccer authority FIFA, was funded by about £17 million of the body's cash.
Starring Tim Roth as Sepp Blatter, the movie is estimated to have cost about $25m - $32m, with FIFA being a major sponsor.
According to THR, the FilmBar cinema in Phoenix reported takings of just $9.
The above report means only one person purchased a ticket.
