Zyzzyx Road was shown once a day, at noon, for six days (February 25 - 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 at the time the lowest-grossing film of all time, earning just one cent at the box office from 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]

budget-to-revenue ratio on the film is still worse. And the title did say *grossing* so technically it's stlil correct XD

And when did Depardieu turn into a blimp? I remember when the man was actually sexy.

I think someone at the Guardian was a little bit too eager.

She's been in so many clunkers but I'll always remember her as Isabel from Roswell.
