Shamwow guy makes movie "InAPPropriate Comedy", 2nd biggest box office flop of all time

The first is last year's toddler TV flick "The Oogieloves In The Big Balloon Adventure" (Razzie nominated for Worst Picture), which grossed an estimated $421 per theater.

This one:

Box office disaster: Lindsay Lohan film 'InAPPropriate Comedy,' directed by the ShamWow guy, earns $625 per theater

A film that you probably weren’t aware even existed, starring Lindsay Lohan, Michelle Rodriguez, and Adrien Brody (the man has an Oscar, remember?) and directed by Vince Offer — a.k.a. the ShamWow/Slap Chop infomercial pitchman (and alleged prostitute beater) — just had one of the worst box office debuts since The Oogieloves in the BIG Balloon Adventure.

The movie, called InAPPropriate Comedy, earned $172,000 from 275 theaters this weekend, yielding a wretched $625 per-spot average. According to its IMDb description, the Freestyle Releasing film follows what happens when “a computer tablet full of the world’s most hilariously offensive apps breaks through the borders of political correctness, stirring up cultural anarchy.”
