Balls Up

Balls Up, a sports comedy from the director of 'Ted', earned 81 votes this week—modest but 20% above the average for comedies in this chart's history. While it trails Lee Cronin's The Mummy by 16 votes, its steady audience suggests low-stakes humor retains a niche but reliable following. The film's $12 million production budget is 30% cheaper than the typical comedy in theaters, making it a profitable niche player.
