When the film was released, Memoirs of an Invisible Man faced significant competition, notably from the popular comedy Wayne's World, which premiered just a week prior. The timing of the release, coupled with an audience primed for comedy, meant that Chase’s film was somewhat misaligned with what viewers were expecting. It dealt with darker themes that didn’t resonate with the audience who was looking for light-hearted entertainment typical of Chase's previous films.
