Kevin Spacey film ‘Billionaire Boys Club’ takes in just US$126 as it flops at box office
The actor’s career was derailed last year when sexual assault allegations were made against him
Kevin Spacey’s latest film has tanked at the box office after taking in a record-breaking low of just $126 on its opening night in US cinemas.
Billionaire Boys Club was the last film the actor made before sexual assault allegations dating back more than 30 years began to surface against him last October.
Despite other big names in the cast including Ansel Elgort and Taron Egerton the film quietly opened in just 10 US cities after a muted video on demand release last month.
The Hollywood Reporter estimated that the movie had an average take of under US$13 at each cinema it was shown in – less than the cost of two seats based on the current US average ticket price of US$9.
In comparison, the 2017 film Baby Driver, with Spacey in a starring role, took more than US$20 million at the box office in its opening weekend.
