‘Death Defying Acts’ – Theatrical disappearing act

Catherine Zeta-Jones won an Oscar five short years ago … and her latest film rocketed almost straight to DVD.

The invaluable Box Office Mojo says the film earned a whopping $5K in theaters.

“Death Defying Acts: Houdini’s Secret” casts Zeta-Jones as a con artist who falls for Houdini (Guy Pearce), the original escape artist.

So why did it sneak into only a few theaters before hitting DVD this week?

Check out my Donne Tempo review to find out.
