Release

The film was theatrically released in Spain on 22 March 2002, amid an "aggressive" marketing campaign.{{Cite web|url=https://www.europapress.es/epsocial/rsc/noticia-estrenos-cine-22-27-marzo-2002-20020402124955.html|date=2 April 2002|website=Europa Press|title=Estrenos de cine 22-27 de marzo de 2002}}{{Cite journal|first=David|last=Erauskin Fernández|year=2003|page=200|title=Salvar al soldado Calparsoro|journal=Ikusgaiak|volume=6|issue=2003|url=https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/11502137.pdf}} However, the film's subpar performance at the box office eventually earned it a reputation as a domestic commercial blunder of the year together with The Shanghai Spell.{{Sfn|Erauskin Fernández|2003|p=201}}
