Guy Ritchie's new movie flops at the US box office

December 20 2007

Madonna and Guy RitchieGuy Ritchie's new movie has flopped at the US box office, according to reports.

Crime thriller Revolver - which was released in the UK in 2005 - was re-edited before it hit screens in America earlier this month.

But so far it has failed to make an impact, taking just over $75,000 USD in its first 12 days on release.

Celebrity columnist Roger Friedman wrote: "It's the same amount of money Madonna spends on, let's say, mascara. "Revolver was re-edited for American release but couldn't find a major distributor.

"Alas, Revolver is a terrible film in its new state.

"It was roundly panned by every reviewer who had a chance to see it.

"Madonna and Ritchie attended the mostly ignored mini-premiere here in New York, but that didn't help, either. Revolver died on the vine."

He added: "Guy Ritchie may be a lovely person, for all I know, but a great director he is not. Still, thanks to Madonna's efforts, he persists in getting work."

Revolver was given a limited release in the US.

Ritchie's next film is set to be heist movie RocknRolla - set in London with Russian mobsters. Jeremy Piven, Gerard Butler and Ludacris will star.
