Of course, it stands to reason that these totals might soon be pumped up just a bit, due to the fact that the guys recently dropped a movie. This endeavor, though, probably won't score them a boatload of cash.
The flick opened in limited release, and sure, it did surprisingly well. Despite showing on only 357 screens, Impractical Jokers: The Movie notched an impressive $2.8 million opening weekend, nearly making back its $3 million budget in one fell swoop (via Forbes). Since then, though, it's been slightly downhill. The flick has only managed to roughly double that total since that first weekend, and while it's sure to make a tidy profit (and nobody expected it to do Marvel movie numbers), it's not going to be making any of the guys rich beyond their wildest dreams.
Having said that, the movie's modest success should serve not only to the guys in front of fans' faces as they await the series' return, but to cement for TruTV the notion that said fans simply can't get enough of Impractical Jokers. The series looks set to stretch long past that upcoming ninth season, and if you ask us, the guys deserve each and every paycheck. If you've seen the kind of craziness they put themselves and each other through, you'll agree that if anything, they don't get paid enough.
