Shia LaBeouf movie sells single ticket on opening weekend

Shia LaBeouf's latest film has been treated by UK cinemagoers like critics believe most of his works should've been - with just one single, solitary ticket sold on opening weekend.

Man Down is a war drama that also stars Jai Courtney (A Good Day to Die Hard, Suicide Squad) and Kate Mara (Fantastic Four, Zoom).

As well as getting terrible reviews, the film might make it into the Guinness World Records for worst opening ever, according to senior media analyst at ComScore Paul Dergarabedian.

"Poor Shia," he told Variety.

Man Down pulled in a grand total of £7 at the Reel Cinema in Burnley between its UK opening day of Friday, March 31 and Sunday, April 2.

Poor Shia, indeed.

Despite his critically reviled works like the Transformers movies and that Indiana Jones sequel - not to mention his questionable behaviour in real life - LaBeouf has recently won some pop culture admiration.

Among his "art" works was a hilarious movie marathon, in which he live-streamed his own face while watching every single film he'd ever starred in.

After Donald Trump became president of the US, LaBeouf launched a bizarre protest in the form of a video livestream set up outside a museum - only for it to be attacked by Reddit trolls, many of whom chanted neo-Nazi and alt-right slogans.

In a fiery showdown with one such individual that went viral, LaBeouf drowned out a white supremacist slogan by yelling "he will not divide us" in the Hitler Youth hat-wearing culprit's face.
