In the wake of overwhelmingly negative reviews, Momentum flopped hard in the UK, making a mere £46 ($69 USD) during its opening weekend. The Stephen Campanelli-directed heist film, starring both Morgan Freeman and Quantum of Solace star Olga Kurylenko, had a budget of £20 million and opened across just handful of British theaters. According to The Telegraph, two of the 10 cinemas that screened the movie didn't sell a single ticket. Momentum is the first film from Campanelli, with Freeman starring in the project as a favor to the new director.
