Disgraced Hollywood actor Kevin Spacey’s new movie has made just $126 on its first day at the Box Office, according to a report.

The Hollywood Reporter said that “Billionaire Boys Club,” which opened in 10 theaters on Friday, marked “the worst showing of a film” starring Spacey.

“We hope these distressing allegations pertaining to one person’s behavior — that were not publicly known when the film was made almost 2.5 years ago — do not tarnish the release,” indie distributor Vertical Entertainment said in a statement to The Wrap.

The movie's abysmal showing comes months after Spacey was accused of sexual harassment by coworkers on the set of Netflix's "House of Cards."

Spacey was fired from the hit show and the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office is currently reviewing a sexual assault case against the disgraced actor.

Social media users have mocked the dismal revenue generated by Billionaire Boys Club on Twitter, with some calling it the final nail in the coffin of Spacey’s career.

A group of 20 men have also accused Spacey of sexual harassment and misconduct at The Old Vic Theatre in London, where he worked as artistic director for more than a decade.

In July, reports said London police were reviewing three cases in connection with alleged incidents involving Spacey from 2008, 2013 and 1996.

Similar allegations have been leveled against many powerful men in politics, business and entertainment in the US, giving birth to the #MeToo movement which aims to highlight the widespread prevalence of sexual assault and harassment in the country.
