What was the biggest box office disappointment for Hollywood in 2006? A little film by Leo Grillo Productions called Zyzzyx Road, starring Katherine Heigle, Leo Grillo and Tom Sizemore that made only thirty dollars at the box office.

If you assume that a movie ticket costs ten dollars and a matinee ticket five, that means that only 3-6 people who weren't either the film makers or Tom Sizemore's constabulary of cheap hookers have ever seen this movie. It isn't available on DVD; it's never been shown on television.

Now Chud.com is trying to do the impossible: track down the three people who actually saw this movie:

Did you see Zyzzyx Road in the theater? If you did – and if you have the ticket stub to prove it – get in touch with me at [email protected]. I need to know what the Zyzzyx Road experience is like, and what drew you into the theater in the first place. In the new year I will try to track down as many of the people involved in this film as possible and get their stories. Before this weekend I feared I would never be able to track down Tom Sizemore at whatever flophouse where he was currently fucking prostitutes, but it seems that he has a new show on VH1 that might make him accessible. I also hope to be able to see Zyzzyx Road for myself. After I find out whether or not the three people who previously saw the movie survived, that is. You can never be to safe.

Did you see Zyzzyx Road? If so, how was it, and more importantly, do you know how to pronounce the title? Go to Chud.com and let them know.
