opening day gross was $11, from one ticket sold
The $11 figure was the film’s opening weekend gross, not its opening-day gross. Contemporary reporting says no one attended on Friday and the one paid ticket was sold the next night.
Full reasoning
Box Office Mojo lists The Worst Movie Ever! with an opening of $11 and shows that amount for the full Aug. 19–21, 2011 weekend, not for a single day. Contemporary reporting from Westword is even more specific: it says “Not a single paying customer entered the theater that Friday, and only one came in the next night.” That means the one $11 ticket was sold on Saturday, so describing $11 as the opening-day gross is incorrect. The evidence supports saying the film earned $11 on its opening weekend, not on opening day.
