A special screening of the film took place at the Bing Theatre at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, with live commentary from Heder and Hess.

Napoleon Dynamite was filmed in 22 days with a budget of just $400,000. It went on to gross over $46 million worldwide and has become a cult favorite among fans.
The film was followed by an animated series that ran for one season in 2012 on Fox, featuring the voices of the original cast.
