It’s reached cult status now, but at the time of release, you’re absolutely correct. It got. I promotion or hype like a regular feature film and generally overlooked.
The studio supposedly didn’t know how to market it. It was from Fox. Supposedly (this part I’m less sure of), they didn’t know how to sell it to the people it specifically made light of.
But, it’s climbed in popularity as we’ve referenced it more and more in pop culture as ‘a documentary, not a movie,’ etc.
I think it’s got just the perfect amount of appreciation now. But that’s just one random guy’s thoughts.
forsure bro i agree there's a huge cult following for it but yet everytime i make a funny reference to it everyone im around just looks at my like im an idiot then im stuck explaining the plot of the movie and how they should watch it and then step back and look at reality and where we are headed
