This is Spacey's first movie since the sexual harassment allegations were made against him.
Billionaire Boys Club, a new film by Kevin Spacey earned just $126 at the US box office on the opening night, reports The Guardian
Billionaire Boys Club is the first movie of the disgraced Hollywood star to come out after the sexual harassment allegations were made against him in October last year.
The movie also stars Ansel Elgort and Taron Egerton whose names failed to overshadow the allegations and bring the audience to the theatres after a quiet opening in just 10 US cities.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the movie had an average take of under $12.75 at each cinema it was shown in – less than the cost of two seats based on the current US average ticket price of $9.
Spacey's last movie that released worldwide was Edgar Wright's Baby Driver. This heist movie garnered $20 million at the box office and earned nominations in awards season at the beginning of 2018.
His character on Netflix marquee show, House of Cards, is also being killed off after the allegations, going back 30 years, surfaced against the actor. Christopher Plummer replaced Spacey at the last minute in Ridley Scott's film All the Money in the World. This role got Plummer another Oscar nomination in Supporting Actor category.
“We hope these distressing allegations pertaining to one person’s behaviour, that were not publicly known when the film was made almost two and a half years ago and from someone who has a small, supporting role in Billionaire Boys Club, does not tarnish the release of the film.
“In the end, we hope audiences make up their own minds as to the reprehensible allegations of one person’s past, but not at the expense of the entire cast and crew present on this film,” said the distributors of the movie as reported by The Guardian.
Trade experts are predicting a total collection of no than that $1000 in the first weekend.
The movie is based on a real life story of a Ponzi scheme masquereding as a social club.
