Let's face it, a movie can have all the right ingredients and still fail to set the box office alight.

Case in point: Sea of Trees.

Directed by Good Will Hunting's Gus Van Sant and starring Oscar-winner Matthew McCaonaughey and Inception's Ken Watanabe, Sea of Trees seemed destined for great things, but after critics panned it, things definitely weren't looking good.

And it sounds like cinema-goers in the US have taken those reviews to heart, and steered totally clear of Matthew's latest flick.

According to emerging reports, Sea of Trees took in – wait for it – just $3,000 on its opening weekend – and you don't need to know much about box office figures to know that's about as abysmal as it gets.

Oh, and if you'd like the chance to find out what's so wrong with the movie, you mightn't even be given the opportunity as there is, as yet, no confirmation that the film will be heading across the water for a UK and Ireland release.

Walk it off Matthew, just walk it off.
