Box Office: Kevin Spacey's 'Billionaire Boys Club' Earns Abysmal $126 on Opening Day
Hollywood Reporter ^ | August 18, 2018 | Pamela McClintock

Disgraced actor Kevin Spacey is enduring a career low at the box office this weekend.

The ensemble crime-drama Billionaire Boys Club quietly opened Friday in eight theaters scattered in select states across the U.S. The indie film earned an abysmal $126 for the day and another $162 on Saturday for a two-day total of just $287 following its release on premium VOD last month, according to those with access to theater grosses. For the full weekend, Billionaire Boys Club could have trouble making much more than $425.

Put another way, that's a per location average of roughly $53 for the weekend. If going by the average ticket price to date of $9.27, that means fewer than six people showed up in each cinema. And it's by far the worst showing Spacey's career.

Exactly six people in a movie theater for a movie??? Wow, he is not any box office draw is he??

Will he be “blacklisted” so to speak, by Hollywood? I heard that many in Hollywood were steaming, that when sexual charges came out against him, he announced he was a homosexual, as if that explained and excused everything.

Some in Hollywood were really miffed at him, appearing to explain these sexual issues as merely a manifestation of homosexuality.

Yeah, but that wasn’t even algebra. More like second grade addition.

And 287/8 is not 53 per location. More like $35

I haven’t been to a movie theater in over 20 years, but even back then I don’t think you could get popcorn for a dollar.

I haven't been in a movie theater since 1972, when I sneaked off the grounds of the Naval Academy to go downtown to watch "2001: A Space Odyssey".

But I'm sure that this is about what you can buy for a buck now ...

First of all, the title would be enough to cause me to take a pass.

Pity such a genuinely good actor is such a twisted piece of work in real life. His performance in The Usual Suspects was amazing. But this wouldn't be the first time the public turned on a performer after finding out their real nature (see: Fatty Arbuckle, 1922).

Personally, every day I have about one hundred and twenty six dollars on me for walking-around money.

I don’t think atrocities against women were made by Spacey. Regardless Buh Bye Kevin. A good lemonade stand would make better money than this box office return.
