The title says it all: โHow Zyzzyx Road only grossed $30.00.โ
TL;DR โ
Zyzzyx ran for seven days at Dallasโ Highland Park Village Theater, with a single screening each day at noon. When it closed, exactly six people had gone to see it, for a total gross of, yes, $30.
I was talking to a friend who works intricately in entertainment, and they say this wouldnโt be regarded as โreleasedโ today (unlike its 2006 run) as one now needs a minimum of 10 theaters. Possibly because of this film. So itโs unlikely ever to beโฆ well, โsurpassedโ seems the wrong word. โDisplacedโ? โ from this curious record.
