Question:
Had heard this was a bit of a flop, but according to Ananova (www.ananova.com/entertainment/story/sm_706107.html?menu=news.latestheadlines), 'Swept Away', the Guy Ritchie/Madonna film will be heading straight to video in the UK.
Madonna's new film will not be released in UK cinemas after it flopped in the US.
Swept Away, which was directed by Guy Ritchie, will go straight to video instead.
The film's distributors had initially said it would hit UK cinemas in March.
"Following the disappointing box office results in the US, Guy Ritchie's Swept Away will not be released theatrically in the UK," a Columbia Tristar spokesman said.
Swept Away took only $350,000 on its opening weekend and was a flop with critics.
Rolling Stone magazine called it "a shipwreck" and the Washington Post said the film was "as awful as you've heard and as bad as you've imagined".
A spokeswoman for Madonna said she had no comment on the announcement the film will go straight to video.
Not great news for Mr Ritchie then. It doesn't rule the film out as being terrible, but some reviews have been very bad. He's probably too busy trying to show off, and completely left the story behind...
:clap:
Hopefully she’ll now go back to performing for hubby in private :norty:
I know i shouldn't laugh, but...................:lol: :lol: :lol:

:lol:
It probably shouldn't even be released on video
:lol:
From the clips shown on TV earlier this evening I would say that only die hard Madonna fans would buy it when it is released.

Sorry dad.:(
There was a joke about this:
"Jack Bauer has 24 hours to find a bomb hidden somewhere in Los Angeles. Only he can't find a theater that plays Swept Away."
:clap: :clap: :clap:
Looks like the bargain bin in Woolies is the only place this'll turn up.
