And the worst box office bomb of all time happened this weekend.

May set a Guinness world record for the lowest return per screen too:

Box office disaster: 'Oogieloves' has the worst opening weekend of all time
by Grady Smith

OOGIELOVES-BALLOON-ADVENTURE

After its inauspicious opening Wednesday, when the bizarre kiddie flick The Oogieloves in the BIG Balloon Adventure earned a shockingly low $47 average at each theater, it looked like it could be headed for the worst opening weekend of all time for a film playing in over 2,000 theaters.

Well, it happened.

According to studio estimates, the colorful toddler-targeting entry, which is being distributed by Kenn Viselman Presents (Viselman formerly found massive success as producer of The Teletubbies), earned a truly awful $448,131 from 2,160 theaters in its debut three-day weekend.

That gross yielded a per theater average of $207. Yes, you’re reading that correctly: $207! <--------

Oh and the part that will truly make you - the film cost $20 million to make with a $40 million advertising budget.

13. OoogieWHO?

Never heard of it. Never saw a poster or website. Opened on Wednesday, which is only reserved for guaranteed money-makers?

Is there going to be a sequel?

14. I have three kids under 7

so I see a lot of kiddie tv and advertising. The first time I saw anything about this movie was the day before it opened.

I don't think anyone actually expected much from it, they should have just dumped it on DVD and let it go.

15. 2000 theaters for what looks like a Big Lots Bargain DVD-quality movie???

"You could use every tax write off known to Uwe Boll and you know someone still lost their ass on this one."
