    It’s Pat, the movie, was a notorious commercial bomb, and sold basically no tickets.

    It was made, though, because the recurring SNL sketch was popular enough to attract the investment.

      The second statement is true, and yet hyperbolic. That was the same time that they made the Coneheads movie, another bomb about SNL characters that had not been on screen in like 20 years. And like five other bombs on the same model.
