And yes, we kill people out there.

Zyzzyx Road is the lowest grossing film of all time to date.
Unless you have a time machine you're not telling us about.

Leo Grillo may be a bad actor, a lousy producer and a risky business partner, but he sure has a swell web site.

where it had to play briefly to meet contractual obligations.
It was never meant to make any money at the box office. This sort of thing happens frequently with movies that are intended to go direct to video or cable.
Also, box office figures can be deceptive. Theaters rent movies, so the $30 could be what's left after the theater paid the rental. In this case, though, the theater may have paid nothing, since the film wasn't intended to make money theatrically.
I ♥ I ♥ Huckabees, tyvm.
He's not even Hugo Haas. Way back when the Saturday kiddie matinee included 2 movies, 10 cartoons, and miscellaneous other stuff, Hass's films sometimes got relegated to those programs since they were cheap. The sleaze factor was, um, interesting for a theater full of 6 to 12 year olds. (Yes, this was before local tv and yes, we did have electricity.)
The "starlet" he was featuring in every movie at the time was Cleo Moore. (I just learned from her biography that she was married to a son of Huey Long.) Even as a kid, I knew her acting was awful, but her biographer mourns that she didn't get a break.
Just to give you a taste, here's a still from one of their movies.
I've seen the sign for the Zyzzyx Road exit on I-15. Or is it I-40? 15.
It would be cool if Thomas Szasz lived on Zyzzyx Road.
I think it'd be cool if Victor Zsasz lived on Zyzzyx Road.
I think it would be cool if Thomas Szasz' daughter Suzy married Victor Zsasz and hyphenated her surname. And then lived on Zyzzyx Road. And then met Sylvester the Cat.
Question for grammarians: Would you write Szasz's or Szasz', bearing in mind the triple sibilant (Davy Jones's locker, but Moses' toes)? Does it make a difference that the first sibilant is at the start of the name?
Aaaa! Make him stop!
Brain cramp! Brain cramp!
They would be referred to as "the Szasz-Zsaszes," (or "The Szasz-Zsaszes of Zyzzyx," for PBS miniseries purposes) and Sylvester would be referred to as "the Szasz-Zsaszes' cat."

roryk FTW.
I remember seeing the trailer, and wanted to see the movie. Still do.

The figure is how much it made gross, not net.
