The film did flop at the box office though, and it has gained a small cult following since, as has The Devil's Rejects. Most popular cult movies are older films, and I am predicting one day both will be cult classics.
I could rip this off, but I'm gonna borrow from Wikipedia again...
"A cult film is also a movie that attracts a devoted group of followers or obsessive fans, despite having failed commercially on its initial release. The term also describes films that have remained popular over a long period of time amongst a small group of followers. In many cases, cult films may have failed to achieve mainstream success on original release"
"The Wicker Man" remake also has a small cult like following to it, only it falls into the "It's so bad, it's good" group filled with cheesy lines not intended to make people laugh.
So even if a film is mainstream, it can still become a cult film.
