No, Roadie would not be deserving of the "cult movie" status. Honestly, it has no real following per se that continue to make it grow and thrive. It has not had the length of actual movie theater run. Heck, I have a 35mm copy of the film under my bed collecting dust.
Rocky Horror has gained "cult movie" status not because of the quality of the film, but because it has really taken on a life of its own with robust fans. What other movie still consistently sells out movie theaters on a weekly basis 33 years after inital relase. Yes, Rocky Horror does still sell that well. My show is a constant sell out, having to turn away a dozen or more people every week.
Roadie is fun, but not a "cult classic" by any means. Let is gain some television time and/or start on a midnight circut...then we shall see.
