Jackass: Best and Last
Directed by Jeff Tremaine · Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O, Chris Pontius
Comedy / Reality · 2026-06-26
“The crew that spent 25 years hurting themselves for our amusement went out beloved, acclaimed, and to the emptiest opening weekend in franchise history.”
The fifth and billed-as-final main Jackass film sends the crew off with a mix of best-of clips and brand new stunts, and against every expectation, it made people feel things. Rotten Tomatoes landed around 89 percent, audiences gave it an A minus CinemaScore, and critics kept using the word poignant about a franchise built on a man getting launched into a wall. As a farewell, it works.
The roast is written in the ledger. It opened to just 8.4 million dollars domestic and 10.3 million worldwide, the lowest opening in the entire franchise, from a series whose first film opened to 22.8 million way back in 2002. On a roughly 10 million dollar budget it about broke even on opening, so it is not a disaster, but for a beloved cultural institution's grand goodbye, the crowd was thin.
Part of that is timing, opening against Supergirl and the second weekend of Toy Story 5, and part of it is that the shock-comedy audience of 2002 grew up, got knees that hurt, and stayed home. The affection is real and the reviews are kind. It is just a quietly melancholy way for the loudest franchise in movies to take its final bow, out with a wince rather than a bang.

Longtime Jackass fans who want one last, oddly touching ride with Knoxville, Steve-O and the crew.
Anyone who never found grown men hurting themselves funny, and viewers wanting a fresh idea rather than a farewell lap.
You leaned all the way into the last ride nostalgia and the reviews rewarded you, but nostalgia did not buy tickets. The warmest goodbye in the franchise met its coldest opening, which is a punchline even Jackass did not plan.
Your website, CV, or whatever you made. I'll roast that too.
