The film had a budget of $22 million and grossed $63.7 million worldwide. It won awards for best special effects, best actor for Jack Nicholson, and best music for John Williams. Critics noted the film attracted teens with its sorcery elements but was more of a grown-up fairy tale focused on relationships.
