Jessica Simpson’s dud, Blonde Ambition, has hit No.1 in the Ukraine. The film grossed $253,008 for the weekend of the 14th-17th February.

The movie, which stars Simpson and Luke Wilson, features Simpson as a young girl unwittingly being involved in a shady business deal. The film initially tested poorly and studio executives wanted to send it straight to DVD, but it was given a limited theatrical release in Texas (Wilson & Simpson’s home state) anyway. After Ambition was shown on only 8 screens and grossed a mere $1771.00, a theatrical release was not widened further.

A representative at Box Office Mojo credits Simpson’s success in the eastern European country to the fact that “Russian and Ukrainian audiences have an even bigger urge for escapism than Americans.”

Things might be looking up for Simpson’s acting career!
