Disgraced actor Kevin Spacey has hit a career low, after his latest film flopped spectacularly at the box office this weekend.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Spacey's new ensemble crime-drama Billionaire Boys Club opened Friday in 10 theatres across the U.S, following a Video on Demand release last month.

The indie film earned a shocking $126 for the day. That averages out to $12.60 per location, which doesn't even add up to two tickets at each theatre.

The film stars a massive cast including Ansel Elgort, Taron Egerton, Emma Roberts, Jeremy Irvine, Cary Elwes, Judd Nelson and Billie Lourd.

This spectacular flop comes after Spacey was accused of sexual assault by a number of men in Hollywood and the UK.

Those allegations also led to his firing from House of Cards by Netflix, and his replacement in Ridley Scott's All the Money in the World.

Distributor Vertical Entertainment spoke about the decision to still release Billionaire Boys Club, saying: "We hope these distressing allegations pertaining to one person's behavior — that were not publicly known when the film was made almost two-and-a-half years ago and from someone who has a small, supporting role in Billionaire Boys Club — does not tarnish the release of the film.

"In the end, we hope audiences make up their own minds as to the reprehensible allegations of one person's past, but not at the expense of the entire cast and crew present on this film."
