Critical responseIFC wrote that the film lives up to its title and that it holds the possibility of becoming a cult hit, by writing that it is "quickly becoming the stuff of Internet legend as the worst grossing movie ever, a sales hook that plays nicely with that title. In the week of August 26, 2011, almost 70,000 people watched the film's trailer on YouTube. If even a fraction of those folks become curious enough to seek the film out, we could have a new cult hit on our hands."[2][3] Since reporting of the film's lackluster premiere, the film's trailer has become a "mini-hit on YouTube" and initiated "something of a cult following on Facebook."[4] The film's director has stated that the low gross was not intended as a publicity stunt,[10] and resulted from both the film being scheduled to screen as part of the theater's monthly "midnight screenings", and through problems in stirring interest in the theatrical release.[4]ReleaseThe film had its festival premiere at the Van Wert Independent Film Festival in Van Wert, Ohio on July 8, 2011, where director Glenn Berggoetz spoke at a breakfast symposium and hosted a midnight screening of the film.[5][6] The film had its theatrical premiere on August 19, 2011, in a single cinema,[7] the Laemmle Sunset 5 in Los Angeles, resulting in the theater's worst box office results ever: just one paid admission and grossing just $11.[2] After its release, the film gained notoriety for its extremely low viewership.[8] This figure makes it the lowest opening film in history, beating the 2006 film Zyzzyx Road which attracted six patrons and $20 in revenue during its opening week.[3] According to the websites Boxofficemojo and The Numbers, the film has now grossed over $25,000 in box office revenues.[7] According to director Glenn Berggoetz, the film sold just one ticket over the weekend (for the sole Saturday screening) and nobody attended the Friday screening.[9] Attempts by the theater owner and filmmaker to locate the individual who paid to see the film over its opening weekend have so far failed.[10] References1. ^{{cite news | url=http://www.news-sentinel.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20110630/ENT/106300307 | title=Indie filmmaker Glenn Berggoetz comes ‘home' | work=News-Sentinel | date=June 30, 2011 | accessdate=October 21, 2011 | author=Kevin Kilbane | deadurl=yes | archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120428185038/http://www.news-sentinel.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=%2F20110630%2FENT%2F106300307 | archivedate=April 28, 2012 | df= }} 2. ^1 2 {{cite web | url=http://www.ifc.com/news/2011/08/the-worst-movie-ever-lives-up.php | title=The Worst Movie EVER!" lives up to its name with epically bad grosses | publisher=IFC | date=August 26, 2011 | accessdate=September 28, 2011 | author=Matt Singer |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150701185226/http://www.ifc.com/fix/2011/08/the-worst-movie-ever-lives-up | archivedate=July 1, 2015 }} 3. ^1 2 {{cite web | url=http://www.movieline.com/2011/08/something-called-the-worst-movie-ever-made-11-last-weekend.php | title=Something Called The Worst Movie Ever!
