In November 2006, they starred in their own film, "Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny," released by New Line Cinema, with Epic Records releasing the soundtrack as their second album, "The Pick of Destiny." The film cost $20 million to produce, though only grossed $13.9 million at the box office and suffered mixed reviews from critics. Despite the poor reception of the actual film, the band would near sell-out arenas on its respective tour, including Madison Square Garden in New York. Following several years of sporadic festival dates and special appearances, the band released their third album "Rize of the Fenix" on May 15, 2012 through Columbia Records, the album making light of "The Pick of Destiny's" commercial failure.
