Zyzzyx Road's Gross Gross

Reading the Globe this morning, I stumbled across a little bit about Zyzzyx Road. I'm still having difficulty believing what I've read.
Zyzzyx Road is a $2-million vigilante thriller starring Katherine Heigl and Tom Sizemore that grossed a grand total of $30 at the box office in 2006. It ran in one theatre in Dallas for six days.
I think I could release Christmas videos of my kids opening their presents as a documentary and score more than $30. If the tickets were only $6 it would take only five paying customers to hit the $30 mark. Dallas is a big enough city that there are at least six people who would go to everything or anything.
Zyzzyx Road is the lowest grossing movie in the modern record keeping era.

Apparently Zzyzzyx Road actually only grossed $20, since a personal refund of $5 each was given to the movie's make-up artist and her friend by the lead actor and producer of the movie, Leo Grillo.
