wow everyone hates Kevin

Disgraced actor Kevin Spacey is enduring a career low at the box office this weekend.

The ensemble crime-drama Billionaire Boys Club quietly opened Friday in eight theaters scattered in select states across the U.S. The indie film earned an abysmal $126 for the day and another $162 on Saturday for a two-day total of just $287 following its release on premium VOD last month, according to those with access to theater grosses. For the full weekend, Billionaire Boys Club could have trouble making much more than $425.

Put another way, that's a per location average of roughly $53 for the weekend. If going by the average ticket price to date of $9.27, that means fewer than six people showed up in each cinema. And it's by far the worst showing Spacey's career. Titles that debut first on VOD aren't generally big draws at the box office, but Billionaire Boys Club is faring particularly poorly.

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

I still like him

That’s a lolquote not a cosign quote

cos she should have foreseen his rapiness in 2003 or because she was fake-person?

There is no point in history, before or after #metoo, when a movie called Billionaire Boys Club w/ Kevin Spacey and Cary Elwes would've sounded like a good night out

Honestly the funniest thing about this is that Judd Nelson is in the film, because he was in a 1987 miniseries about the same case as the lead character.

It’s funny he was supposed itt mainly by a fake person

I mean the whole thread feels like it kind of anticipated the revelations at one level

i have to admit i would like to see the suppressed Gore Vidal film

I bet Louis CK has looked again at his notes for his planned (say.. Feb 2019) email-list-only web-exclusive stand-up comeback special and thought "Too soon..".

Honestly, I couldn't get past the first few seconds of that bizarre video. What are the most ill-conceived comeback attempts ever? Up there with Jian Ghomeshi and Anthony Wiener, for sure.

Great takedown from Nathan Rabin:

Despite Spacey’s conception of himself as a lovable leading man, the oily probable sex criminal was typecast as a bad guy, a villain and a supporting player early in his career for a very good reason. He’s an extremely unlikable performer. As an actor, Spacey just doesn’t naturally convey arrogance and intelligence: he conveys the intimidating, belligerent, badgering intelligence of someone who knows exactly how smart they are and is a total asshole about it. That’s what made Spacey’s casting in The Usual Suspects so inspired: Spacey’s brilliant assholes use their ferocious intelligence as a sometimes deadly weapon. They act as if the rules that govern the actions of mere mortals do not apply to them because they’re smarter, sharper, better, more evolved and civilized than the rest of us.

Fantastic piece, though I don't think it's a takedown - more like a dissection (vivisection?). The graf you excerpted is otm, he was fantastic in the roles he was typecast in. Just the idea of him doing an impression of Jack Lemmon is nuts.

I saw K-Pax in theaters, even at 9 I knew it was shit. Bicentennial Man was kinda the same thing, and that was much more sad and creepy.

It has its moments -- I like Rabin -- but, boy, is it long.

Just the idea of him doing an impression of Jack Lemmon is nuts.

He did it a lot on talk shows, it was excellent. (I saw the two of them on Broadway doing O'Neill.)

I didn't know that, never really kept up with him. I posted before reading the whole thing and yeah it's too long.
