Box Office: Kevin Spacey's 'Billionaire Boys Club' Opens to Career-Low $618

The ensemble crime drama — also starring Ansel Elgort and Taron Egerton — opened with little fanfare in 11 theaters following the film's release on premium VOD.

Kevin Spacey's Billionaire Boys Club opened to an impoverished $618 over the weekend in a stunning career low for the disgraced actor.

The ensemble crime drama quietly played in 11 theaters in select states across the U.S. following the movie's release last month on premium VOD, where it managed to do some business. At one point, it was No. 13 on iTunes.

Billionaire Boys Club posted opening-day earnings of just $126 from eight locations. Four additional cinemas reported Sunday earnings, putting the final estimated weekend at $618, according to those with access to grosses.

Put another way, that's a per-location average of roughly $56 for the weekend. If going by the average 2018 ticket price to date of $9.27, that means about six people showed up at each theater, on average.

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 clique of the same name that made headlines in Southern California in the 1980s. Spacey plays real-life Beverly Hills high roller Ron Levin.

Titles that debut first on VOD aren't generally big draws at the box office, but Billionaire Boys Club is faring particularly poorly.

The fate of the film was left in serious question after Spacey was accused last fall of sexual assault by a number of men in the U.S. and England. Netflix and MRC fired him from the series House of Cards, while Ridley Scott replaced Spacey in the movie All the Money in the World.

Earlier this summer, distributor Vertical Entertainment said it would go ahead and release Billionaire Boys Club on VOD and in cinemas.

"We hope these distressing allegations pertaining to one person’s behavior — 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," Vertical said in a statement at the time. "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."

Billionaire Boys Club played in theaters in the San Francisco Bay area, Phoenix, Detroit, Minneapolis/St. Paul, New Orleans, the Hartford/New Haven area, Miami, Los Angeles, Chicago, Cleveland and Sarasota, Florida.
