The lowest grossing movie of all time ($30 dollars) with Katharine Heigl and Tom Sizemore will be available online on Thursday, and Thursday only. This may be your only chance to see what is a cult classic by association.

So does that mean 3 people paid to see it?

You just know the guy with the second lowest grossing movie of all time is seeing this and just thinking, 'Oh fuck me'.


He started looking for a collaborator, and Penney's name came up. During their meeting, Grillo asked Penney what he was working on. ''He told me about this treatment he had on a movie called Zyzzyx Road,'' recalls Grillo. The film — loosely inspired by a real road outside Las Vegas — was a modest thriller about an accountant (a role eventually played by Grillo himself) who hooks up with a Lolita-esque teenager (Heigl), knocks out her menacing ex-paramour (Sizemore) in a fight in Vegas, then drives out to the desert to kill him — when, predictably, things start to go awry. ''I said, Whoa, it's a thriller, we can sell it foreign and get our money back,'' says Grillo. ''Then we'll have a track record and we can make the [animal movies].''

LOL.

by this logic, won't the direct-to-video be lower grossing than ZR?

(btw, i live in la, and pass through that place all the time during my trip to vegas.)

That's funny, but it's still publicity. I mean, I want to see the movie after reading that article. And it doesn't really mean it's bad. Worst title they could possibly find, though.

Hopefully they'll start making the animal movies soon.
