FIFA movie set lowest U.S. box-office record, report says

FIFA's dubious reputation has spread from its executive offices and into the annals of Hollywood infamy.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, FIFA's widely castigated film "United Passions" set a box-office record for biggest flop in American movie history. The magazine calculated that the $29-million feature film made just $918 while appearing in 10 theaters nationwide the weekend of June 6 before being pulled by its distributor.

By the Hollywood Reporter's estimates, the $918 total is the lowest amount for any movie in the United States released in 10 through 15 theaters. The 2012 vampire rock musical "I Kissed a Vampire" had the previous record low of $1,380.
