When faced off on Thanksgiving against family films (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and the Johnny Cash biopic Walk the Line) it almost failed to find an audience. It opened at number three, with an opening weekend of $17,461,108 in the US. Its final US gross is $53,359,917, and a worldwide gross of $68,759,917. With a production budget of $45,000,000, the film fared decently against high-end competition.
The remake was panned by critics worse than the original. Roger Ebert, a fan of the original, bashed the remake badly. Other critics felt a remake was not needed, and that Rene Russo was nowhere near the league of Lucille Ball. Though some critics agreed that it did follow the basic plot of the original, it still lacked its predecessor's comedic touch. On Rottentomatoes, the remake stands at 5% against 50% that the original holds. Both of them, however, are considered "rotten." Some positive reviews stated how it was nice to be refreshed with a remake, similar to how Cheaper By The Dozen was remade. That film, however, did a lot better financially and critically. It is currently unknown if a sequel of the remake is planned, similar to how there was a Cheaper By The Dozen 2.Wikipedia
