Waseau claims the film's budget was $6 million including the promotion (which apparently also covers the 4 or 5 years that a massive billboard has been up in LA), but honestly I'm guessing that sans billboard rental, the film could not have cost more than $10,000. If you add the worst acting I've ever seen on top of possibly one of the worst scripts this side of General Hospital or Guiding Light, you have a classic in the making.
Apparently this movie has gained so much notoriety in LA that it has sold out monthly midnight screenings regularly for the last 5 years straight. The phenomenon is much like the "Rocky Horror Picture Show" in that these screenings feature casts who act out scenes live while the film rolls, as well as the audience shouting out lines & throwing spoons during key moments. They go mad when Wiseau screams "Lisa... you're tearing me apart!", & they even dress up like their favorite characters.
Witness for yourself what the others have already known for years... that "The Room" is a film like no other...
