Emma Watson's new movie made just £47
The Harry Potter star’s new drama about a cult in 1970s Chile took the measly sum last weekend.
Watson plays Lena, who infiltrates the closed off community to save her husband Daniel, portrayed by Daniel Bruhl.
Low box office takings aren’t uncommon as Al Pacino’s thriller Misconduct made less than £100 earlier this year.
The Colony’s numbers were let down by a simultaneous digital release, and just three cinemas showing the new movie.

The thriller’s trailer shows Watson as you’ve never seen her before, a far cry from her 12A rating days at Hogwarts.
Beauty and the Beast, a surefire hit for Disney, couldn’t come any sooner for Watson.
The actress, who plays Belle, stars opposite Dan Stevens’ Beast.
The live action remake also features Luke Evans, Sir Ian McKellen, Josh Gad, Ewen McGregor and Emma Thompson.
The teaser trailer was so popular it received more views than even Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
At time of writing it was on the cusp of breaking 17 million views on YouTube.

Aside from her acting work, Watson is heavily involved in feminism campaigning.
Yesterday she endorsed a charity remake video of the Spice Girls’s Wannabe, promoting gender equality.
Beauty and the Beast will be released in UK cinemas on March 17, 2017.
