Production on the film began before Old School (2003) came out making Will Farrell a huge commodity. Jon Favreau recognizes the chance the studio took on green lighting Elf and notes how well New Line promoted Farrell and Elf after Old School came out in February of 2003. It's rare for a film maker to delve into how well their film does financially on these commentary tracks, so it should be noted Favreau brings up Elf's success. It debuted 2nd behind The Matrix Revolutions but came in 1st place its second weekend out. It was going up against The Matrix Revolutions in its second weekend, so, really, it wasn't that fair.
