One of the decade’s most underrated comedies laughs at financial catastrophe to endure as a cult classic

The Lonely Island have developed a rather unwanted habit on the big screen for crafting widely-adored movies that end up tanking at the box office. The Watch is the odd one out because it was terrible on almost every level, but the comedy trio’s feature-length collaborations on Hot Rod, MacGruber, and Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping all bombed horrendously in theaters.

Of course, all three went on to enjoy long-lasting life as cult favorites that fans still quote to this day, but you get the sneaking suspicion Akiva Schaffer, Jorma Taccone, and Andy Samberg would much rather the aforementioned trio performed a lot better among paying customers than a disastrous combined haul of $33 million on total production costs of $55 million.
