Despite a poor box office opening, the film has now gained a cult status among viewers.
Despite the sequel being initially slated for a February 2019 release, it was subsequently delayed several times before eventually being canceled by the studio. The final script for the sequel was never finished.
During the first take of the now infamous opening scene, Nathan Cudgel accidentally wore the wrong shirt. This was quickly realized before any other scenes were shot and the scene was re-shot.
The final line of the film was actually improvised! Nathan cudgel was supposed to say, "this was a win for us!", but he changed it to "the only thing bigger than this W is chungus himself"
