Napoleon Dynamite is a cult success. Not a flop, since it was made on a $400,000 budget. But it wasn't a big mainstream box office hit. It opened in 14th place with $2 million.

However, I think it got popular around the time that it was released on DVD. I was about 9 years old at the time, and I remember people running around the school spouting "Gosh!" and "Vote for Pedroooo"

The Bill & Ted movies were mainstream hits, peaking at #2 and #3 at the box office (back in a time when it was somewhat harder to go #1) but they were not really blockbusters either. The 32nd and 34th biggest movies of their respective years. So they would be comparable to something like... Ride Along 2 (33rd biggest movie of last year, buddy comedy sequel as well).
