Box Office Performance
On its opening weekend, the film opened behind Anastasia and Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. The film grossed $10,626,507 in its opening weekend. According to Boxofficemojo.com, the film grossed about $45 million domestically. This exceeded the estimated production budget of $40 million, but was considered a disappointment for a film adaptation of a Grisham novel, particularly in comparison to The Firm, which was made for roughly the same amount but grossed more than six times its budget.
