File this one in the irony cabinet somewhere between Britain’s former biggest dog being named Tiny and the fact that Adolf Hitler’s wife Eva Braun may have had Jewish ancestry.
According to Huffington Post, a movie theater in Exeter, England, had to cancel their 12:15pm screening of “Noah,” which is of course a movie about a man who built a great ark to avoid a worldwide flood, because of … wait for it … flooding.
Vue Cinema apparently had an ice machine malfunction that caused a water pipe to burst, flooding the specific theater that was supposed to be showing Russell Crowe’s latest effort. The issue was quickly resolved, and the theater was back open for business in less than two hours.
With just two weekends worth of worldwide earnings, “Noah” has already earned somewhere in the neighborhood of $180 million. And if not for the Vue Cinema ice machine ruining the Friday screenings in Exeter, England, you would have to think we would be talking about at least $180.0000002 million.
It’s still hard to believe that Russell Crowe was once in a movie that we deemed one of the 21 Movies Every Guy Should Own.
