Exclusive: Beck’s movie bombs in New York, Boston — and Washington, D.C.

In New York, Beck sold 17 tickets. In Boston, another 17. And in Washington, D.C., the hotbed of political activism, his tearful film drew only 30.

While Glenn Beck's new movie The Christmas Sweater – A Return To Redemption -- which released for a viewing Thursday night in hundreds of theaters across the country -- performed better in rural areas, his ability to draw viewers in major US markets was a bust.

"The theater's almost empty," a representative at Regal Cinemas in Manhattan told Raw Story moments before it began.

The flick features the firebrand Fox News host sharing with willing souls his most profound childhood memories, along with his philosophies on life, love and happiness.

"It is the story of faith, tragedy, redemption and hope," Beck says in the trailer. (Reporter's caution: he cries in it.)

1. If you have a loud baby that takes 2 hours to go to sleep - go get tickets.
Treat the handful of morons there to watch Beck to some special sound effects.

I know, I know. That's not fair to the baby.

2. I'd be calling CPS on any parent who takes a baby to see that movie
That's just downright child abuse!

3. LOL! Yeah, that's true. Although I witnessed a real case that's similar.
If you haven't seen the second movie in the Lord of the Rings series, this isn't a spoiler.

The beginning of the movie is about Gollum and how he came to be. It has a seriously disgusting scene of his profoundly grotesque mouth eating a raw fish. I was grossed out by it and that's saying something. There are a substantial number of other scenes that are fairly graphic, involve frightening characters, and of course there is plenty of blood and death.

As I was heading down the hall to the room it was playing in, a man ahead of me entered with two small children - maybe 2 and 4 years old. I had to check twice to be sure I was at the right door. That IS NOT a movie for children!!! The bastard probably just wanted to see it himself but got stuck with the kids that day. I bet the kids soiled their pants.

4. That happened one time when I went to see the 10pm showing of Underworld
Vampires & Lycans to not make fun movie for 3 children under the age of 5.

The lady brought them into the theater and we all boo'd her out of the place. I kid you not!
