Kevin Spacey's 'Billionaire Boys Club' opened to $126 -- and no, that isn't a typo
Yes, you read that right. Billionaire Boys Club, starring Kevin Spacey, made just $126 at the box office during its opening weekend.
The film opened Friday in only 10 theaters in the U.S.
Despite its all star cast -- including Ansel Elgort, Taron Egerton, Emma Roberts, Jeremy Irvine, Cary Elwes, Judd Nelson, and Billie Lourd -- it brought in an abysmal $126 in total.
The Hollywood Reporter breaks down the numbers: each location averaged $12.60, which is approximately less than two tickets per viewing if the average cost of a ticket is $9.27.
The movie is based on the real Billionaire Boys Club, an infamous social club that convinced the sons of wealthy Southern Californian families to get rich quick with Ponzi schemes in the 1980s.
Billionaire Boys Club was filmed in 2015, before Spacey was accused of sexual assault in late 2017. Since the survivors' #MeToo stories came to light, Spacey has been dropped from Netflix's House of Cards and was replaced in All the Money in the World.
But Spacey's role in Billionaire Boys Club wasn't scrapped -- its distributor Vertical Entertainment told TheWrap that they hoped the "distressing allegations pertaining to one person's behavior ... do not tarnish the release."
According to the statement, Vertical Entertainment doesn't condone sexual harassment, but added that they "believe in giving the cast, as well as hundreds of crew members who worked hard on the film, the chance to see their final product reach audiences."
