Production

The film was written by Steve Faber and Bob Fisher and was produced through New Line Cinema, with filming taking place on location in Washington, D.C. and Eastern Shore of Virginia and Maryland's Eastern Shore. It was released in the United States on July 15, 2005 and became an immediate hit, grossing $33 million in its first weekend. Fairly well received by critics, the film also had extremely long legs, grossing over $209 million - the average 2005 film which made around $33 million in its opening weekend would normally manage total revenues circa $100 million. The astounding level of success was not expected by the studio, considering its modest budget ($40 million) and competition with heavily advertised blockbusters during the summer season.

On April 24, 2006 Wedding Crashers topped the nominations for the year's MTV Movie Awards with five including Best Movie. It won Best Movie, On-Screen Team (Vaughn and Wilson), and Breakthrough Performance (Isla Fisher). The financial and award success of the film has been credited along with The 40-Year-Old Virgin for reviving the popularity of adult-aimed R-rated comedies, a genre that has been deemed by some commentators as the "Judd Apatow style" - although Apatow had no involvement in the production.
