Morgan Freeman’s new movie Momentum has flopped at the UK box office, taking just £46 in its opening weekend despite boasting a $20 million budget.
Director Campanelli recently told Geekscape of how he convinced Freeman to star in the film: “I did three movies with Morgan [while I was] a camera operator, and we’ve gotten along very well. We’ve become like friends, and he said to me, ‘When you get a movie and you get to direct it, if you have a role for me, I’d love to do it.’ Then this came out and I read the part of the senator’s role and I went, ‘Oh my God, Morgan would be perfect for this.”‘
The thriller is the directorial debut of Stephen Campanelli and opened on Friday 20th November but it was only shown in ten cinemas during its opening weekend, bringing in £4.60 per cinema. Two cinemas sold no tickets for the film at all.
