"The Rocky Horror Picture Show" has a global following and remains popular well into the 21st century, and the film's fan culture of cosplaying and audience participation during screenings laid the groundwork for the similarly influential cult following surrounding Tommy Wiseau's "The Room" (2003).20th Century Fox, the distributor of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show", had a longstanding policy that offered most of the films in its archive to any theater who requested it, thus allowing older films to receive theatrical showings far longer than other studios' films.
