According to Maoyan's data, "Detective Chinatown 1900" has grossed more than RMB 3.1 billion in China so far, and the movie was released in Hong Kong last week (Feb. 13) and was also the champion of the Mainland box office on that day.

Netizens also expressed their appreciation for Chow's performance in the film, especially for a long dialogue scene in English. He said, "I did do a lot of preparation beforehand, including taking a video clip of myself so that the director would know how I planned to handle the scene, and that made the filming go smoothly."
