Hidden Figures, and was projected to gross NT$100 million over the
Lunar New Year holiday frame. It went on to make NT$22.8 million () in its opening weekend, ranking seventh at the Taipei box office. With the film's box office performance in Taiwan, the film was considered a
box office disappointment, making it one of the lowest-grossing films from
Wei Te-sheng. The filmmaker had previously directed the financially successful
Cape No. 7 (2008) and
Seediq Bale (2011), namely the highest and second-
highest grossing domestic film of all time at the Taiwan box office. In an interview, Wei stated that the film's overall financial success will depend on its international distribution and VOD sales, as well as merchandising sales revenue. Edmund Lee of
South China Morning Post rated it 2.5/5 stars and wrote that the film "proves to be a pleasant trifle, which does a far more effective job of pleasing the ear than stirring the heart". ==References==
