Brosnan`s latest film `Evelyn` wobbling at the box office

31-Dec-2002 • Bond News

Pierce Brosnan`s latest film, "Evelyn", is wobbling at the US box-office.

Although tipped for an Oscar nomination by many critics for his perforamce in the film, Brosnan must feel disappointed with the box office figures.

The film only averaged $1,843 per screen at the weekend - with a measily national net of only $253,000. MGM have not released the production budget figures, but the total take so far of only $634,000 is unlikely to come close to recovering costs.

Based on true events, Evelyn tells the inspiring story of real-life hero Desmond Doyle and his young children, Evelyn, Maurice, and Dermot. Struggling to raise his kids alone in Ireland in 1953, Doyle is devastated when the power of the Church and the Irish courts take his children away and put them in orphanages. Vowing to reunite his family, he enlists the help of his friends and together they attempt to do what has never been done before - challenge a law before the Irish Supreme Court. Doyle`s fight to keep his family intact becomes an uplifting testament to a father`s love and the power of the human spirit.
