==Legacy== In retrospect, Barry Sonnenfeld recalled: "I was disappointed in the box office for the second film. I think the first film is more romantic and the second film is funnier. Part of the reason it didn't do as well is that the marketing of the movie was so similar to the first one that people didn't think it was going to be any value-added and I really wanted to push the Pubert of it all and the Fester of it all. Instead, the whole campaign was back with the original Addams Family, so it wasn't really promising anything new. I think that's in part why it didn't do as well. Many people love it as much or more as the first one".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://comicbookmovie.com/horror/the-addams-family-interview-barry-sonnenfeld-talks-the-films-legacy-on-its-30th-anniversary-exclusive-a189187#gs.okx2ia|title=THE ADDAMS FAMILY Interview: Barry Sonnenfeld Talks the Film's Legacy on Its 30th Anniversary (Exclusive)|date=October 28, 2021|website=ComicBookMovie.com|access-date=February 9, 2022|archive-date=February 9, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220209141018/https://comicbookmovie.com/horror/the-addams-family-interview-barry-sonnenfeld-talks-the-films-legacy-on-its-30th-anniversary-exclusive-a189187#gs.okx2ia|url-status=live}}</ref> In the decades since its release, the film has been reassessed with retrospective acclaim.
