Delgo Or The Worst Movie Opening Ever


This weekend a movie opened nationwide on 2,160 screens and I guarantee you didn't hear a word about it. You have heard of some of the people in it (Freddie Prinze Jr., Jennifer Love Hewitt, Val Kilmer, Malcolm McDowell, Kelly Ripa, and Anne Bancroft). So how could this movie have had the worst movie opening ever?

It is actually a pretty cool story about a guy who decided he would not involve Hollywood (except for the stars) and create an animated film. He paid to have it released on his own. It made $511,920. If you do the math at $8.00 a ticket that comes out to an average of 2 people in ever showing of the movie over the weekend. Ouch.
