Paris Hilton's latest attempt to break through as a movie star in The Hottie & The Nottie has proved a huge flop with moviegoers.

The new film, in which Hilton plays a stunner with an ugly best friend, took just $27,696 in 111 cinemas across America last weekend.

The minuscule box office haul means an average of 31 people per movie theater watched The Hottie & The Nottie over the three-day period.

Hilton's last starring role was in 2005 horror film House Of Wax.
