Worst Movie

hahaha i googled "worst box office movie ever" and got this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8SICgUQhxg&feature=player_embedded

The movie made a grand total of $30 in one theatre over a six day span 

ok so then wats the worst movie???

okay...first the $30 thing is a myth, its not true

2nd the movie is called Zzyzx and there is an unrelated movie called Zzyzx Rd

 -the first one Zzyzx , in this trailer actually made a lot of money

the 2nd one (Zzyzx Rd) did not make money but has a story behind why it didn't.

       -Zyzzyx Road was shown once a day at noon for six days (February 25 through March 2, 2006) at Highland Park Village Theater in Dallas, Texas,^[3] a movie theater rented by the producers for $1,000.^[1] The limited release was deliberate: Grillo was uninterested in releasing the film domestically until it underwent foreign distribution, but needed to fulfill the U.S. release obligation required by the Screen Actors Guild for low-budget films^[1] (films with budgets less than $2.5 million that are not for the direct-to-video market).^[4]

The strategy had the side effect of making the film the lowest grossing film of all time, earning just $30 at the box office from exactly six patrons.^[5] Unofficially, its opening weekend netted $20. The $10 difference is due to a personal refund by Grillo to makeup artist Sheila Moore, who had worked on the film, and her friend.^[1]

Both Zyzzyx Road and the similarly-named Zzyzx have been cited as the lowest-grossing film of all time; Zyzzyx Road is in fact the lowest-grossing film.^[6]

The film was released in twenty-three countries and by the end of 2006, had earned about $368,000.^[1] As of 2009^[update], the film has not yet received the legitimate domestic distribution that the producers had hoped would follow its foreign release.

hope this clears some of the confusion.....but like Iwin said, no way is this the worst movie ever...

Yahoo did an artcle on this a few weeks ago actually....read these, actually big budget movies that bombed...
