Despite initial concerns and a smaller budget of approximately $20 million,Wayne’s Worldgrossed $183 million worldwide. Aside from inspiring a sequel, the film ensured that catchphrases like “Party on,” “Not!” and “Schwing!” quickly entered the ’90s vernacular.
“There was no guarantee that that movie was going to get made or released. So 30 years on, I can’t believe,” Myers told PEOPLE of the film’s success amidits milestone anniversary last year.
Carvey added in their conversation with PEOPLE that he thinks the comedy’s staying power comes from having “a charm to it besides the jokes.”
“Wayne and Garth had less than anybody in the town. They drove a horrible car. They lived with their parents. They had no money, but they’re having more fun than anyone in the town,” he said. “It’s a very light movie, ultimately.”

While an official announcement for aWayne’s World 3has not been made, Myers might have his sight set on reviving another of his classic comedy franchises.
In May 2022, the actor and comedian said in an interview with SiriusXM’sJess Caglethat he’d be open toreturning to the silver screen as Austin Powers.
But, he teased, “Ican neither confirm nor denythe existence or non-existence of such a project, should it exist or not exist.”
After Cagle, 57, told Myers his response felt “like a confirmation” of a fourth film, the actor quipped, “It was a non-confirmed, confirmation confirmation.”
