As well as screening in IMAX theatres, the movie was released on laserdisc, DVD, Blu-ray and has been available in high definition on streaming services, although the quality of the image on DVD was poor. [4]

It grossed more than US$65 million and is one of the most profitable Australian-financed films, [4] and one of the highest-grossing documentary films.
