Billionaire Boys Club (Starring Kevin Spacey) Made Just $126 Opening Day

The ensemble crime-drama — also starring Ansel Elgort and Taron Egerton — marks a career box-office low for the disgraced Spacey after premiering first on VOD.

Disgraced actor Kevin Spacey is enduring a career low at the box office this weekend.

The ensemble crime-drama Billionaire Boys Club quietly opened Friday in 10 theaters scattered in select states across the U.S. The indie film earned an abysmal $126 for the day following its release on premium VOD last month, according to those with access to theater grosses.

Put another way, that's a per location average of $12.60, which doesn't even equal two tickets if going by the current average ticket price of $9.27. For the full weekend, Billionaire Boys Club could have trouble hitting $1,000, by far the worst showing of a film starring Spacey. Titles that debut first on VOD aren't generally big draws at the box office, but Billionaire Boys Club is faring particularly poorly.

Ansel Elgort and Taron Egerton share top billing in Billionaire Boys Club, followed by Spacey. Emma Roberts, Jeremy Irvine, Cary Elwes, Judd Nelson and Billie Lourd also star in the movie, which is based on the real-life club of the same name that made headlines in Southern California in the 1980s. Spacey plays real-life Beverly Hills high-roller Ron Levin.

1. I think one of the reasons it flopped is because

It stars, one of the most unlikable, narcissistic, smug, self righteous, up themselves, obnoxious, untalented pieces of
shit, poster child of white privileged, poster child for every pretty boy that has ever lived, unworthy, put together by hollywood,
rubbish actor that has ever lived, I of course am talking about the guy from Baby Driver.

It also starts that that predator Kevin Spacey.

4. This should NOT be confused with the 1987 TV miniseries. . .

. . .of the same name. Better that you see that instead, IMO.

Ironically, Judd Nelson starred as Joe Hunt in the TV version, which also starred Barry Tubb, John Stockwell and Ron Silver.

He plays Joe Hunt's father in the 2018 movie version.

5. I immediately thought of this

It wasn't that interesting the first time around. I don't know why they thought a remake was necessary. Honestly, who gives a shit? BTW, the budget was $15 Million.
