13 Movies You Didn't Know Were Responsible For Weird Cinematic Milestones

4. Zyzzyx Road Was The First Picture To Gross Just $30

Seriously. There's a movie that exists in the real world that genuinely made the pathetic, cringeworthy sum of $30 dollars at the box office, a downright unbelievable notion that begins to make a lot more sense when we reveal that the movie in question starred Katherine Heigl in a starring role.

That's right: the tragically named 2004 film "Zyzzyx Road" cost $1.3 million dollars to produce, and yet it managed to pull in a measly $30 dollars. Not $3,000 or $30,000 dollars, by the way, but $30! As in: the sum of money that you probably have in your wallet right now.

Played for six days in a theatre in Dallas, Texas, Zyzzyx Road has set the modern standard for lowest grossing movies - it's likely that no other movie will ever gross such a low amount, because HOW COULD IT?

Okay, so you have to take into consideration the whole six days thing, but seriously, if, like, fifty people had gone to see the movie, at least we'd have a figure that made sense? Oh, Tom Sizemore was in this, too. Sizemore and Heigl in a movie about awful actors having affairs and trying to murder people in the desert? Well, it's no wonder people didn't bother.
