The film was produced by Largo Entertainment, Scott Free Productions, and Caravan Pictures, and distributed by Hollywood Pictures. Though it received generally favorable reviews and Moore's performance received some praise, she still won the Razzie Award for Worst Actress. It opened at No. 1 at the US Box Office, where it remained for two weeks, but ultimately became a box-office bomb, grossing $48 million on a $50 million budget.
Despite the film's mediocre box office, Moore, in her autobiography Inside Out, called G.I. Jane her proudest professional achievement.
