The movie that made $30

Apparently there was a movie called Zyzzyx Rd., starring Katharine Heigl and Tom Sizemore, that only released in one theater in Dallas for just 6 days in 2006. It made a total of $30 in it's theatrical release... $20 of that was during the first 3 days. You can read more about this sad sad story over at CHUD.

Just because I feel like it, I'd like to point out that Zyzzyx Road is a real road with it's own exit on the I-15 between Los Angeles and Las Vegas. It's still a stupid name for a movie, let alone a street. Even worse is the word itself... according to Wikipedia, the zyzzyx is a species of wasp that was named after the sound it makes! Obviously named by the most uncreative scientists on the planet.
