Tanked at the box office by only making back half its budget

As previously mentioned, «Ringmaster» managed to secure a sizable budget of roughly $20 million for a seemingly throwaway comedy picture. Similar comedy films released the same year include «Half Baked» with a budget of $8 million, and «The Wedding Singer» with a budget of $18 million, which by comparison makes «Ringmaster» seem surprisingly high considering its content.

Nonetheless, «Ringmaster» proved to be a failure both critically and commercially upon release. The film was lambasted by critics for being both tasteless and unfunny, holding only a 21% on Rotten Tomatoes score s of this writing. It also flopped at the box office by making less than half of its budget back with roughly $9 million in returns. Thus, the story of «Ringmaster» is ultimately one of not being able to capitalize on the success of Springer’s undeniably entertaining television show which continued on well after this cinematic experiment flopped.
