Perezhilton is reporting another blow to Avril Lavigne, who has been having a tough time selling concert tickets. Her fallback career hasn't exactly gotten off to a good start as Avril's acting debut in the new thriller The Flock is going straight to DVD. Guess she better start peddling punk-rock t-shirts faster.

The Flock is the story of a federal agent (Richard Gere) who, while training his young replacement Allison (Claire Danes), must track down a missing girl whom he is convinced is connected to a paroled sex offender he's investigating. For her part, Lavigne plays Beatrice Bell, the suspect's girlfriend.
