We’ve just experienced history! The worst opening for any movie of all time! We’re talking worse than Glitter folks. The cartoon movie Delgo, which was just released this past weekend has officially had the worst opening weekend ever. Even with an all-star cast of Val Kilmer, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Freddie Prinze Jr., Chris Kattan, Eric Idle, Burt Reynolds and the late Anne Bancroft, the film pulled in less than $237 average per screen. Ouch.
To give that some perspective, another animated movie, Bolt, made an average of $2,382 per screen the same weekend and a small movie like Slumdog Millionaire made an average of $12,873 per screen. Another way of looking at it is, Glitter‘s opening weekend made $2,414,596, Delgo made $511,920.
